Festival of the Force returns to the Newark Showground on Saturday 16th January 2027, and the first guest announced is a biggie….a boss, if you will. Heading to Newark is Boss Nass himself from The Phantom Menace, Brian Blessed.
At Festival of the Force, our mission is to deliver an unforgettable, immersive experience for Star Wars fans right here in the UK. As the largest convention of its kind, our central location makes it easily accessible to enthusiasts from across the nation! We are passionate about celebrating the vast and iconic Star Wars universe while building a strong sense of community among collectors, fans, and cosplayers of all ages. With a galaxy of Star Wars merchandise, celebrity appearances, and fan-led events, we strive to connect all Force wielders to ignite the excitement of the fandom.
Don’t forget, other events might charge for parking, but Festival of the Force remains free.
Brian shall be joined by a starcruiser full of great guests, so stay tuned for more announcements, and tune in to Making Tracks for our coverage of Festival of the Force from Kent this summer.
