was ok but put together very cheaply stores were ripping people off with mystery boxes and pretty much felt like just going a bit of a more interesting carboot sale

Review of For the Love of Sci-Fi

Very good. Seems a pity prices have been raised for next year though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this event .  It was suitable for all ages. I visited the previous starwars event last year and it was awesome - the organisers have listened to its customers and organised yet another great event. Plenty to see and do. 
Cant wait to see the additions to the Optimus Prime build later in the year. 
I would certainly recommend attendance at future events. 

I thought everything was really good... apart from the food situation.  We were stood around for a while in a bunch of people not knowing how to get your order in before a kind lady in the crowd with us said that you had to go to one point, order and pay and then just stand in the crowd and await you name being called out!! It took us nearly an hour to get 5 meals!!  There needs to be more catering options and more signs telling you how to get your orders completed. 

I was disappointed with the exhibition.  Myself and my son arrived at the Exhibition for 9.15am on Saturday and left at 1.00pm and at no point did Dobby or Optimus Prime arrive. These were the main attractions and the reason that we came. We queued to see Dobby twice to be told he wasn't coming that day! Also we ended up queuing 3 times for ET as he kept being taken away to try and resolve issues. When he did finally arrive he did not speak to us and my son was told that he was not allowed to touch it! In your marketing brochure you talk about hugging him. Instead my son had to just stand next to a lifeless statue and have his photo taken in an area that was so dark you couldn't see anyway!

It was an amazing convention, lots to see and do. You do need to take a good amount of money with you as lots of trade stalls, autographs and photo's with the special guests. I was there for 9 am and found i had pretty much worked my way around everything about 3 times by 2pm. Photo session was at 4:30 so sat in the Cantina for an hour just chilling and sorting through the many photographs i had taken. The cos play was excellent, the costumes amazing. Bring on next year.

Our 2nd annual pilgrimage to the Northern Mecca of sci-fi. Overall a great show, lots to see and guests to meet.  Kudos to the organisers for many improvements over last years debut Star Wars Convention.  Only 1 criticism, it was a bit cold, which I can expect in such a massive hall, guests need to be well wrapped up. Only way to solve this is hold it a different time of year I guess. Won`t put us off, but *will* affect costumes next time. 

A good enjoyable event for those with a slight or more intense interest in sci-fi. Good location, however parking was a major problem. 

I look forward to next year.
