Headlining the event is Ben Whitehead, the official voice of Wallace in Wallace & Gromit, making his first-ever convention appearance anywhere in the world.

Joining him are stars from Doctor Who, Star Wars, and classic British comedy, including:

Paul Kasey – the man behind the Cybermen, Ood, and other iconic Doctor Who creatures, also appearing in Star Wars: Rogue One, The Force Awakens, and Torchwood

Christopher Ryan – best known as Mike from The Young Ones, and as the Sontaran General Staal in Doctor Who

Tim Dane Reid – suit performer and puppeteer, known for playing a Dalek, the Space Zombie, and more during Peter Capaldi's final Doctor Who season

But that's not all — the event is packed with family-friendly attractions, immersive zones, and interactive displays for fans of all ages. Highlights include:

Appearances by Optimus Prime, Barricade, Bowser in his throne room, and Tigger

Themed areas inspired by Stranger Things, Alien, Super Mario Bros., and Ghostbusters
