The annual family friendly sci-fi festival, KAPOW , is back for 2025. Bigger and better than ever, experience KAPOW like you never have before.

Get ready to meet iconic characters from across the realms of sci-fi and fantasy including Derek the Dragon!
Experience your favourite worlds through awesome photo opportunities with The Curator’s TARDIS, Dalek’s and Cybermen and other props from fan-favourite film and TV! To really get into the sci-fi spirit, why not come along as your favourite character - cosplayers of all ages are welcome! For those wanting to get up on stage and show off their costumes, the Cosplay Competition is the perfect opportunity to do so. 

Sci-fi fans of all ages will be able to enjoy an exciting variety of activities, including a Geek Quiz in our sister venue, The LINK, and a Treasure Hunt around Stockton High Street. There’s even prizes involved – if you can find all the clues! Guests can hone their skills for crafting stories of their own at a writing workshop hosted by local sci-fi writer Gillie Hatton, author of the Thieves’ Guild series. Our quiet area will be available throughout the day to relax away from the bustle of the event. The quiet area is an inclusive environment for all attendees to use if they wish. 

KAPOW is made possible thanks to our sponsors Who-Ray!, Sci-Fi Scarborough, Hinson Security Services, Stockton BID, Hampton by Hilton, Wellington Square, 6 Engineering and Warehouse Kitchen. 

KAPOW arrives at Stockton Globe on Saturday 5thJuly 2025 - you don’t want to miss this fun filled day!
