THE Rivergate Shopping Centre is set to be transformed for an exciting event taking place this weekend.

The Irvine mall will host a comic and toy fair on Saturday, July 5, from 10am-5pm.

Organisers Excelsior Events have plenty planned for the occasion - including meet and greets with several characters.

This includes the "mighty ten foot tall Optimus Prime" alongside Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario and Deadpool.

They will also be holding a new 'Excelsior Cosplay Championship' - which will be a new feature to the company's events - with a trophy presentation for the winner. 

A spokesperson added: "The event will be packed with some of our very best traders selling comic books, action figures, crafts, art, plushies, cards, dice, mystery bags, funkos, Lego, anime and more.

"A fun day for all the family with plenty to see and take part in. There will also be a free retro gaming to explore the world of classic games. 

"The event is free entry but be sure to pop by and support your local events!"
