Summer sci-fi convention season in full swing.

23 May, 2014

Ah, summer is nearly upon us. The sun is in the sky, the pollen is in the air, and the Red Dwarf cast are up and down the length and breadth of the nation, appearing at sci-fi conventions for Q&A sessions, autographs, photographs and the like. We always like to keep you updated on where you can get out and meet the gang, so here's a round-up of several events that are taking place over the next few weeks.

Con Artists

First and foremost, if you're able to get yourself to East London tomorrow, 24th May, you can catch Robert Llewellyn at the MCM London Comic-Con. Bobby is appearing on Saturday only, in the Memborabilia area of this massive show at the ExCeL exhibition centre in Docklands. Tickets are £15 on the door, and can be purchased on the way in (although be prepared for some pretty big queues).

Another large event being put on by MCM is also probably the biggest Dwarf-related gathering in the near future, as the MCM Belfast Comic-Con sees not only Robert, but also Chris Barrie and Hattie Hayridge making appearances. Taking place at the King's Hall in Belfast on 7th-8th June, it's the first time MCM have brought one of their mammoth expos over to Northern Ireland. All three Dwarfers will be appearing on both the Saturday and the Sunday.

Chris will also be appearing at the UK Games Expo in Birmingham on 30th May/ 1st June, and along with Hattie will be at the curiously-named Sci-Fi By The Seaquel(we're assuming that's a sequel to a previous convention called "Sci-Fi By The Sea"... at least, we hope so) in Herne Bay on 15th June.

Of course, it's likely that several of the cast will also be making appearances at other events later in the year, and we'll update you on these as we get word of them. And if you're waiting for news on guest appearances at next year's Dimension Jump XVIII, a little bird tells us there might be an announcement on that score just around the corner...
