A bag policy is in place. It’s part of the enhanced security measures for all major events and means you can only take handbags and other small bags (no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm) into the arena with you. You should arrive as early as possible and allow more time for security checks when arriving at the venue. These extra checks may increase the length of queues so please give yourself plenty of time to arrive and enter the venue. Please note that anyone with a larger bag than this will not be admitted into the venue so it is important that all customers are informed.
Cosplay Guidelines:
- All Cosplay is subject to inspection on arrival at the show. Costumes must be able to fit through a normal size door.
- Any hard or sharp objects/weapons will not be allowed into the event and will be removed upon your arrival until you leave the convention.
- EM-Con is a family convention. Your outfit must cover you at least as well as a modest swimsuit would. (No thongs or other minimalist bottoms. No pasties, tape, or paint in lieu of a full coverage top. Also, obviously nothing transparent for these areas.)
- Banned props - Live Steel – This includes swords, knives, shurikens, bayonets, or other metal objects which have an edge. Guns – This is anything that shoots a projectile or could be enabled to shoot a projectile, including air guns, Airsoft weapons, crossbows, or replicas of actual guns.
