This isn’t just your average market; it’s a full-scale Cumbernauld Comic Con takeover. For one day only, we’re transforming the aisles of the Antonine Centre into a geek culture paradise. Whether you’re a hardcore collector or just looking for a brilliant (and cheap!) Saturday out with the family in North Lanarkshire, we’ve got you covered.
The atmosphere at our Takeovers is always electric. You’ll likely bump into iconic characters roaming the malls—perfect for grabbing a superhero selfie—while you dander through dozens of specialist traders.
What’s On at Cumbernauld Comic Con?
We’ve hand-picked an incredible mix of vendors to make sure the Antonine Centre is bursting with unique gear you simply won’t find on the high street. You can expect to find:
- Comics & Graphic Novels: Everything from vintage silver-age issues to the brand-new releases.

Make a Day of it in Cumbernauld
The Antonine Shopping Centre is the ideal spot for a family day out. Since we’re right in the middle of Cumbernauld, you’re only a few steps away from plenty of cafes and shops if you need a break from the action.
If you’re traveling in from elsewhere in North Lanarkshire or across the Central Belt, there’s heaps of parking and the public transport links are spot on. Why not make a proper day of it? Grab some lunch, explore the town, or head over to Cumbernauld Glen once you’ve finished meeting our heroes.
