Costume workshops, lessons on the skills of how to be a Light sabre duelist and introductions to the likes of Role Playing.
Workshops that will allow professionals to advise and talk, while those interested can show and ask and learn about furthering an interest into something more. Talks and discussions, where we hope we can engage with all readers and fans of all ages.
Fun activities, including some high energy science experiments that should not be tried at home.
Comic art exhibitions will be taking place in a number of formats throughout the festival. Books signings and talks by authors will be going on throughout the weekend, and we will have a number of special staged talks and discussions.
