Hotels for Bristol Creed Comic Con - October 2026

Comic conventions like this one bring together artists, cosplayers, traders and collectors for a day of stalls, panels and photo opportunities. Expect long queues for popular guests, tables stacked with graphic novels and merchandise, and plenty of elaborate costumes on show. Sunday crowds tend to be a mix of families and dedicated fans making the most of the final day, so arrive early if there's a particular guest or stall you don't want to miss.

Bristol's largest stadium, Ashton Gate is home to both Bristol City football and Bristol Bears rugby, and increasingly hosts major stadium concerts too. Set south of the river in the Ashton area, it sits close to the harbourside and the independent shops and cafés of North Street. The city centre and Temple Meads station are a short ride away, with matchday buses running frequently. Booking a room near the harbour or centre lets you enjoy Bristol's dining before an easy trip to the ground.
