You’ll be transported to a galaxy far, far away where you’ll be able to mingle with extra-terrestrial stars, like Star Trek’s David Warner, the seventh Doctor Who, Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred from Doctor Who and Gareth David Lloyd from Torchwood.

Comic book artists like Russell Payne, Gary Erskine, Richard Piers-Rayner, Nick Brokenshire and legendary illustrator Chris Achilleos will also be on hand to share their secrets and let you into their fascinating world.

Dress up as your favourite character in the Cosplay competition, where there’ll be awards for best male and female, and best junior male and female.

The Underground Music Institute will also entertain the crowds all the weekend, while Inca and Zeus the Mackaws and their pirate handler, live Jedi battles, a free face painter and balloon modeller will keep the younglings happy all weekend.
