OH!CON

OH!CON was established in 2020 to organise and run a comic con for the Outer Hebrides. It has grown to now include several supporting activities throughout the year. The con is an annual event and the date for this year is Saturday 12 October 2024.

OH!CON celebrates nerd and popular culture through a programme of events and activities inspired by comics, art, science fiction, fantasy, film, animation, gaming, design, prop making, cosplay and other creative pursuits.
