From comic books and animations, to graphic novels and illustrations, Thought Bubble is unique amongst comic festivals because it keeps creators as its focus.
Come dressed as your favourite character, if you fancy it. But be warned: here people take their comic costumes to the next level – so don’t be afraid to go all out! Best of all, this event is free!
Festival | Witchfest International 2019, London
9th – 10th November | Tickets: £16.58
Spooky season may be over, but witches still live among us. So if you’re into ghosts and ghouls, Witchfest is a lot of fun.
It is the largest Witchcraft event in the world featuring leading speakers, workshops, shops and art shows dedicated to all things pagan and mythological.
There’ll be first-rate entertainment too from live bands, a DJ, and a team of Morris dancers. So grab those broomsticks and turn tail for London.
Theatre | Les Misérables, Southhampton
7th – 23rd November | Tickets: £32.50
Get those tissues at the ready because it’s impossible not cry at this brilliant show. One of the West End’s most enduring and loved musicals, Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean, Javert and their encounter during the years of turmoil in 19th-century France.
Adapted from the novel by Victor Hugo, it’s a show that’s been running continuously in London since it opened in 1985. And is now on tour in the UK, with only a few select dates and locations available. It’s a definite must-see from us, but be quick: tickets will be selling fast.
Theatre | The world-famous Elvis Show, Blackpool
Sat 9th | Tickets: £26.50 – £29.50
Uh-huh, we are all shook up to hear that the ultimate Elvis act is coming to Blackpool this weekend. World-renowned Elvis performer, Chris Connor, will be joined by a 12-piece live band and backing vocals to give you the most 70s night of your life!
Together, they’ll perform a magnificent two-hour production, recreating two of the King’s most famous concerts. If you were not lucky enough to see Elvis whilst he was alive, this is the next best thing!
