Fantha Tracks have attended events at the National Space Centre many times over the years, and as the public home of space exploration in the UK it’s a must-visit location for fans of the saga and anything extraterrestrial. This coming weekend sees Return of the Garrison back at the Space Centre once again for the 13th year, and with it the armoured legions of the UK Garrison, the Rebel Legion, the Galactic Academy, the Isle of Wight Prop Crew, the Replica Prop Board, exhibitions by the good folks at Asmodee and some stellar guests.

Warwick Davis returns along with his daughter and fellow actor Annabelle. Julian Glover, Gerald Home, Paul Kasey, Star Wars Celebration artist JAKe and artist Craig Davison will all entertain the crowds.

The show is on for two days, with Julian appearing on Saturday only, Warwick, Paul and Gerald attending Sunday only and everyone else for the whole weekend. There are talks each day and interviews in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium which cost an extra £3.00.

Adults are £14.00 with children aged 5-16, Disabled, Senior and NUS concessions £11.00 and Under 5s are free. Fantha Tracks are there both days, so look out for the gold and silver shirts!

The National Space Centre is joining the Rebellion and celebrating 13 years of this amazing fan and family event.

Over the past 13 years, the Centre, along with the 501st UK Garrison, Rebel Legion and special guests, has raised money for important charities and welcomed over 60,000 people to this event.

With costume characters, exhibitions, talks, workshops and the all-important Parade, this year’s event will invite you to choose your allegiance… do you join the Empire, or will you fight with the Rebel Alliance… only you can decide.

This is a Premium Event. Annual Passes are not valid for this weekend.
