The council has reunited with NWCC Events to organise another spectacular taking over the first floor of The Galleries shopping centre on Saturday between 9am and 3pm.

This year, as well as retro and virtual reality gaming, Transformer cars and Jedi academy, visitors will get to meet Ross Mullen, who was a White Walker in Game of Thrones and Willie Coppen, who played the Ewok in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

Willie will bring along his replica Ewok suit so fans can get photographs of him both in and out of character.
