Return of the Garrison is back at the National Space Centre in Leicester this coming weekend 17th – 18th September, and there’s plenty of reasons to click here and your tickets ordered.
To celebrate one of the most influential film, tv, comic, game, art and literature franchises of all times, the National Space Centre is dedicating a weekend to discovering more about the planets from a galaxy far far away.
This charity event brings together guest stars, fans, families, children and the amazing costuming groups for a Force filled weekend.
Enjoy exhibitions, talks, workshops, craft sessions and loads of photo opportunities. Meet your Imperial or Rebel heroes, see droids put through their paces, or learn how to wield the galaxy’s most elegant weapon.

The weekends big name guest is Warwick Davis, recently seen at D23 Expo revealing the new trailer for Willow, coming to Disney Plus in November. He will be attending the show on Saturday only, joined by his daughter Annabelle.
Visitors over the weekend can also enjoy TWO live episodes of Making Tracks in the Planetarium at 3.10pm each day. There are still tickets available for the Sunday, but seats are filling fast for the Saturday show, where we may have a VERY special guest joining us for a chat….
