FOR THE LOVE OF RETRO is one of the newest additions to the Monopoly Events family of pop culture conventions, on the 5th and 6th September 2026 we will be returning to the Telford International Centre for another star-studded show at this exceptional venue. Follow our social channels to see what we've got in store for the fans at both shows.

We're all a fan of something, and For the Love of Retro is the best place to celebrate all things pop culture. As well as having the chance to meet your heroes, get an item signed or a photo, many guests will also appear live on stage so you'll get to hear directly about their new projects and previous roles.

Outside of the celebs you can get your picture taken with some of our unique props and set builds; watch the fabulous cosplayers strut their stuff on stage (or join them); test yours skills in our retro and modern gaming areas; or browse through the unique gifts in our trader and artist areas with a large show floor for the perfect shopping experience for everyone in our community.

The shared fandoms and sense of community is central to everything we do. Fans from all over the UK come together at our shows every year to share their love of comics, fantasy, sci-fi, gaming, horror and cosplay. To find and bond with like-minded individuals who share their interests.

We'll continue to grow and evolve this event as a place you can celebrate your community fandoms, discover new ones and most of all have fun!
