Cosplay Weapon & Prop Rules

When you arrive please get your weapons/props checked by us, we will be situated, most likely in the main reception area, but details will be told at the opening ceremony

Please don’t bring replica weapons which are banned in this country. For example- Katanas, daggers, etc, that’s just common sense really.

The length restriction for your Weapons and Props must not exceed 1.5 Metres. Masquerade Weapons and Props can be longer if you’re using them in the Masquerade, as their not a direct hazard to most people.

Replica Guns are allowed as both floor and Masquerade Costumes. They must have a red tip and the Magazines must be removed. We would appreciate it if you kept them holstered at all time. You can take them out for photographs, but please keep them holstered at other times.

Guns that obviously look fake i.e.: Light/Laser Sci Fi guns are allowed.

Weapons and Props made out of Wood are allowed. Light wood, like a Balsa please, but make sure there are no sharp edges. Sandpaper is your friend, makes nice round edges! Plastic and Foam are allowed, but again, make sure the edges are nice and safe.

Costume armour is allowed, but like the weapons, they must not have pointy edges. Please round them off to a soft edge.
All weapons must be checked, it’s something that needs to be done, and it doesn’t hurt.
