Out of this World 2023
Back for a 9th year, Out of this World is a FREE family event celebrating all things otherworldly!
Taking place across numerous locations in Sheffield City Centre, the event is for anyone who enjoys sci-fi, comic books, gaming, magic, illusion, Halloween and all things spooky.
A bit like an outdoor Comic Con, there'll be plenty of familiar costumed characters from TV and film wandering around, giving you the opportunity to meet cartoon favourites, superheroes and menacing villains.
The event is spilt into zones across Sheffield Winter Garden, Tudor Square, the Town Hall, Millennium Square, the Peace Gardens, Barker's Pool and along Surrey Street.
With stalls, street entertainment, magic shows, activities and fairground rides, there'll be lots to see and do, so don your favourite fancy dress and join in the fun.
