Many years ago, you could count the number of anime conventions and trade shows happening in the UK on the fingers of one hand.  And that was the hand of a particularly clumsy chainsaw operator.  Nowadays there are so many events it's easy to lose count, so we've come up with a handy events calendar!

We'll add to this as and when new events are announced, such as conventions and screenings, no matter how big or small.  If anyone knows of anything happening that's not listed, please let us know!

NEW! Click here to check out our preview of the year's big events!

* Key -  conventions are displayed in pink, cinema screenings are displayed in white and music gigs in blue with all other events in green.  All are hyperlinks which take you to the official websites for further information *
