Visitors to the convention can also browse sci-fi trade stands and interact with other favourite sci-fi TV/film characters, including the Daleks, Stormtroopers, Klingons, Predator, R2-D2 and the robot from Lost In Space.

There is even a limited offer of a free McFlurry for all those who come on the day in Costume.

Mark Dean, chairman of the Norwich Sci-Fi Club, said, “We have a fantastic line up this year and hope that our reputation for putting on a great show will help us to raise even more funds for such worthy causes.”
