The 25th running of Farthest From takes place next Sunday 10th December starting at 11.00am and as always Fantha Tracks will be there to cover the show, grab interviews and enjoy the final major UK collecting event of the year. Saturday brings all the energy of the Family Fun Day, with games for the kids and toys from across the Star Wars spectrum, ahead of the evenings events.
There’s the two-course Christmas Themed Meal with a welcome drink from Rebellion Brewery on arrival and entertainment from the well-travelled team at Generation Skywalker who will be chatting onstage with Barry Gingell and Pablo Hidalgo, running the Farthest From Christmas Quiz, the Farthest From Christmas Auction and for the first time holding an exclusive Room Sales event.
Sunday is the Vintage Retro Show, kicking off at 11.00am and running through to 4.00pm. With this years showfloor expected to be busier than ever – and with guest Pablo Hidalgo signing copies of Dawn of Rebellion in what will be his only UK signing of the year – the onstage talks are taking place upstairs, where the FT team will be recording an episode of Making Tracks with Barry and Mark Newbold and Jon Hipkiss will be chatting with Pablo in a conversation for those in the room only.
There’s also a charity auction that will take place upstairs from 1.30pm to 2.00pm, which will give you the chance to bid for some very special prizes and raise funds for the Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal.
