Come dressed in your favourite Star Wars T-shirt or go all out in a full Stormtrooper or Jedi costume – prizes await the best-dressed families and individuals!
Meet beloved characters from the UK Garrison (subject to availability) and take part in a host of fun activities. Test your lightsaber skills in our duelling area – are you Red or Blue? Grab an onboard activity booklet to challenge your Star Wars knowledge, and get creative with badge-making to design your own keepsake to take home.
Don’t miss the chance to meet Terry the life-size Taun Taun from Empire Strikes Back! You can sit on Terry and snap that perfect photo, plus meet Michael Whiteley, the genius behind the original Taun Taun creation.

Michael will be on hand to chat with fans and sign autographs – a truly unique opportunity! (A small charge applies to sit on Terry.)
Enjoy Star Wars-themed beer to sip or take away, and explore an incredible display of Star Wars Lego. Remember, Tauntauns are snow lizards roaming the icy plains of Hoth – now you can meet one in person!
