Heroes Dutch Comic Con Winter 2026
The winter edition of the Netherlands' biggest pop culture and gaming convention returns to Jaarbeurs Utrecht on 21 and 22 November 2026, combining Heroes Dutch Comic Con with the Heroes Gaming zone.
Heroes Dutch Comic Con Winter is the year-end edition of the Netherlands' largest pop culture convention, held at the Jaarbeurs exhibition centre in Utrecht on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026. Doors are open from 10:00 to 18:00 on both days, with early access at 9:00 for VIP ticket holders.
The event runs together with Heroes Gaming, so alongside the classic comic con programme - guest actors and signing sessions, comic artists, cosplay competitions, merchandise stands and fan communities - visitors also get a dedicated gaming floor with playable titles, tournaments and gaming-related exhibitors.
Utrecht is easy to reach by train from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, and the Jaarbeurs sits directly next to Utrecht Centraal station, which makes this one of the most accessible big conventions in western Europe. For players and cosplayers from Croatia and the region it is a compact weekend trip: two full days of gaming, pop culture and cosplay in one venue.
