The Techno Spartans will be back again, performing at Out of This World 2024!

Never been to a K-Pop RPD before? Here's how it works! All you have to do is wait on the participant sidelines, whenever a K-Pop song chorus comes on that you know the choreography to, you may jump into the dance area to dance to it. It's that simple!

Look out for iconic songs including PSYs Gangnam Style, Jungkook's Standing Next To You and Ateez' Bouncy!

Sci-Fi, Comic and Gaming Zone @ Out of this World

Winter Garden, Tudor Square, Town Hall and the Peace Gardens

The ever popular sci-fi, comic book, gaming and fantasy areas are home to comic book artists, costumers, trade stalls and displays.

You’ll encounter your favourite heroes and villains including Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Ghostbusters and Short Circuit’s Johnny Five (I’m Alive!). Keep your eyes open for a few superheroes too.

A popular zone to find, or photobomb, your movie and comic book favourites, get hold of the latest character and comicon and gaming must haves.

Enter the Nightmare before Christmas set to get in the mood for the festive season - maybe. Share a dance with your favourite children’s film and animation costume characters at their meet and greets.

See if you can keep up with the Slo:Ridas (a pair of cheeky, bike riding sloths) or strike your best pose with human-sized Star Wars and Barbie boxes. With Groot, Ghostbusters and Pokemon displays – there’s plenty for everyone to see and do!

Halloween Zone @ Out of This World

Town Hall Square, Town Hall, Peace Gardens, Pinstone St and Surrey St

Little Monsters will be running loose again this year, so get your Halloween fancy dress on and enjoy some spooky attractions!

Gather round all ye mummies and deadies, bouys and ghouls….listen to these dead men tellin' no tales! The captains of their very own grim galleons the OOOAARGH! Pirates glide like ghosts of the seven seas, liftin’ the spirits with their supernatural ships.

They turn Dad Jokes into Dead Jokes! Guaranteeing a moan and a groan, an ooooh and an aaargh!

But we ain’t afraid of no ghosts, because the Ghostbusters will be round and about keeping a watchful eye on the event and an ear to their PKE Meter to keep the spirits at bay.

Talented Sheffield kids from local dance groups Funky Dance Fever and Razzmataz will also give you shivers with their dance tricks, it will definitely be a treat.

Visit The Joker trapped in his Pumpkin Patch as he plays his tricks in the Peace Gardens but beware of getting too close, he’s trying to persuade you to set him free to cause chaos around the event.

If that isn’t scary enough for you, you can always go retro on the classic Ghost Train on Surrey Street.

Barney Baloney will delight youngsters and adults alike with his tongue in cheek compering and on-theme soundtrack to the event. He will be joined by the Techno Spartans dance crew with their stunning light up costumes and Lawrence Bennet Dance will demonstrate his thriller moves in Town Hall Square.

With plenty of trade stalls and caterers around the event it may also be the perfect time to pick up your last minute Halloween must haves, grab a bite to eat or make a start on the festive shopping.
