A Doctor Who fan event is coming to The Printworks in Manchester this weekend
The Printworks will be transformed into the Whoniverse this weekend when a Doctor Who fan convention appears at the entertainment complex.
Fans of the science fiction TV show will be able to meet former Doctor Who actors as well as attend live talks with directors, scriptwriters and producers.
Vworp will appear at The Printworks this Sunday, September 9, between 10am and 5pm.
As well as former Time Lords, there will be a host of famous props to see – including Daleks and the TARDIS – that you can take photos with.
This event follows the successful Harry Potter convention DraigCon back in July this year, and a similar Game of Thrones event back in June.
Former Doctors will be in attendance for photo opportunities and meet and greets, including Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Paul McGann.
There will also be dedicated art prints that have been produced especially for the panels.
Fred Booth, centre director of The Printworks, said: “We’re delighted that we get to host this fan convention which celebrates a much-loved British television series, enjoyed by all members of the family.”
Mark Cookson, event organiser of Vworp, added: “The sheer response from the Who fandom for this event has been immense, and just shows the popularity of the show. We’ve got some great guests lined up, with more to be announced, and it’ll be the perfect warm up for the debut of the 13th Doctor in October.”
Vworp takes place on the 9th September from 10am to 5pm.
Tickets cost £22 each, which will get you access to all panels, screening and lectures, plus an event lanyard and programme, a free autograph from your chosen Vworp guest, and a print of the event’s poster art.
