Doctor Who festival expands to Australia
Good news for Doctor Who fans in Australia! The recently announced Doctor Who Festival will hit the road, heading to Sydney only one week after the London show and bringing with it series star Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat.
Being unveiled as Doctor Who in Sydney at last year’s world tour, and meeting the fantastic Australian fans was such a cosmic, life changing experience that I’m thrilled to be coming back for a full weekend of Time Lord mania.”
The London Doctor Who Festival runs November 13-15 at the ExCel convention center, and the Australian festival will be the following weekend, November 21-22, at Sydney’s Royal Hall of Industries & the Hordern Pavilion. Only a few events have been announced so far:
Meet the Cast: Your chance to attend a Q&A session which will get you closer than ever before to Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi, with more cast yet to be announced.
Meet the Writers: Hear from the experts who create the storylines of your favourite programme, including lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat and find out how the Doctor’s many adventures are developed from script to screen.
Meet the Monsters: Experience the work that goes into creating iconic Doctor Who monsters right in front of your eyes, with live monster make-up demonstrations and interactive monster workshops.
There will also be an assortment of props and costumes, photo and autograph opportunities, and a trivia contest. More events and cast members are expected to be announced in the coming months.
