Cosplay, comics, and… cuddly donkeys? In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we dive into two worlds that couldn’t be more different — the vibrant energy of Comic Con Belfast 2025, and the peaceful charm of the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. At Comic Con Belfast, we take a first look at the best costumes, panels, and pop culture moments lighting up Northern Ireland’s biggest fan event. Then, we switch gears for a heartwarming visit to Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary — discovering how this iconic UK rescue centre cares for hundreds of donkeys and offers a family-friendly day out like no other. Expect laughs, surprises, and a dash of 90s nostalgia as the gnomes explore both sides of this unique UK adventure. 🎧 Listen now for your first look at Comic Con Belfast 2025 and the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary — two very different journeys, one unforgettable episode! 💬 Follow us on Instagram @FirstLookGnomes for clips, photos, and more. We chase two “first looks”: a hype-filled Comic Con that tests our patience and wallets, and a donkey sanctuary hedge maze that tests our nerves and sense of humour. Between celebrity queues and toddler sprints, we find what makes memories stick. • Hitting a surprising rank for “tropical fruits” and welcoming new listeners • A postcard update from the Know-It-All Gnome and a hint of romance • Comic Con expectations versus reality, from cosplay craft to queue fatigue • The economics of paid photos and autographs and why it felt off • Parenting beats: enjoying fandom without buying access • Donkey sanctuary maze with a toddler and staying calm when lost • Small systems for safety, regrouping, and turning panic into play • Bad jokes, good laughs, and the value of shared stories Don’t forget to subscribe, follow, and review to help you <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2054807/open_sms">Click here via your Mobile Device to send us a message!</a>Please Subscribe , leave a 5* Review, Follow, Like and Share this Podcast to show your support for more episodes.
