Sylvester McCoy, Doctor Who mark VII is coming to Somerset and he will be joined by Transformers, Daleks, a DeLorean, characters from Star Wars and so much more.

Here’s everything you need to know about The Star of Time, Film and Comic Con event that’s about to take place in Weston-super-Mare.

From wizards of middle earth to one of sci-fi fans’ favourite on screen couples, the Stars of Time and Film Comic Con is landing in Weston’s Tropicana event space in partnership with both Joker Squad SWG and MT Games, amongst others.

The event is overflowing with attractions including lightsaber displays, meet and greets with different illustrators, designers and characters at booths, a charity auction and cosplay competitions throughout the event.

You mentioned Doctor Who?

The major pro of the con is the chance to get your hands on a photo opportunity with the seventh Doctor himself; Sylvester McCoy.

Accompanied by his very own police box, McCoy will be holding meet and greets both days of the event for excited fans of all ages to get the opportunity to shake hands with the Doctor himself. This follows on from last year’s star guest, fifth Doctor Peter Davison, and is followed by this year’s December show guest, film Doctor Paul McGann.

The event will also feature Primeval (and S Club 7) star Hannah Spearritt as well as Andrew Lee Potts. Clem So, who appeared in Doctor Strange, Doctor Who and more is also a special guest.

What else is there to do?

Okay – just briefly – there’s a chance to come face to face with James Cameron’s creatures, see a Batmobile, a DeLorean, have a photo taken at Ghostbuster’s Temple of Gozer, meet a Tyrannosaurus Rex, see street artist JPS painting live, meet Lightning McQueen, meet Beast Quest artist Steve Sims, see B-9 from Lost in Space, enjoy cosplay contests, live sculpting and more.

There’s also an added bonus, isn’t there?

All guests also enjoy free entry to Funland throughout the weekend. It’s a token-based funpark though so be prepared for some expense if you want to enjoy the rides.
