Mini-Con Tallaght
Assemble your squad, dust off those helmets, capes and rocket packs and get ready for Mini-Con Tallaght, touching down at Kilnamanagh Family Recreation Centre on 25th February at 3pm.
Mini-Con is quickly making its name as one of the top regional conventions in the country due to the friendly and inclusive atmosphere, amazing trade stalls, world class cosplayers and inciteful live talks by invited guests.
Guest of honour at Mini-Con Tallaght is Samantha Alleyne. Known as the 1st female Stormtrooper in Star Wars. She has played no less than 15 roles across official Star Wars productions including Rogue One, The Force Awakens, Solo, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker and the Andor series.
Samantha will be chatting to us about her experiences onscreen as a Stormtrooper, Rebel Pilot, Sith Trooper and more, along with some behind the scenes insights on the sets of these colossal blockbusters. She will also talk about appearing as stand-in for Gal Gadot in Wonderwoman 1984 and her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
She will be meeting and greeting fans of these huge franchises and signing your posters and action figures, or a choice from her selection of prints she will be bringing along to the event.
Cosplayers are also in for a treat with 2 of Ireland’s biggest costume groups signed up for the event along with pro-photos for cosplayers and families, with backdrops for that professional look, courtesy of “All Sorts of Photography”.
Weave your way through stall after stall of Pokemon cards, Lego Mini-figures, artists & illustrators, vintage toys, comics, props, jewelry, funky household items, action figures, plushes and loads more.
Arriving in costume is encouraged at this fully family-oriented event where all ages will find something that piques their interest.

May the Force be with you!!
