A timetraveltastic event for Sci-Fi enthusiasts takes place this weekend (19 & 20 May) at Spaceport, when visitors will have the opportunity to see props and costume characters from Sci-fi films and TV programmes, including the iconic Tardis from Dr Who and the famous Delorean from Back to the Future.
Based on the success of recent Sci-Fi and Ben 10 weekends, which attracted in excess of 5000 visitors between them to the Wirral based attraction, the Time Travel Weekend is part of a series of space themed events taking place throughout the year at Spaceport.
In addition to the Tardis & The Delorean time machines, there will be opportunities to see props including Davros, K-9, Daleks, The Impossible Astronaut and a Cyberman from Dr Who, as well as meet and greet costume characters including Ood, Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Scarecrow from Dr Who, Star Trek Crew, Klingon, Aliens, Gas Mask Zombies, Spacemen and Cybermen!
Free ‘Make a Time Machine’ workshops and alien craft activities will be staged throughout the day and a ‘Beginners Guide to Time Travel’ talk and Dr Who quiz will run at hourly intervals in Spaceport’s 360 degree Dome Theatre, plus there’s Time Travel face painting for budding Time Lords and aliens.
Councillor Mark Dowd, chair of Merseytravel, said: “Science fiction and Spaceport go hand in hand and we’re looking forward to welcoming enthusiasts to our intergalactic attraction for another fun filled weekend”
The Time Travel Weekend is a must for Sci-Fi fans and is free as part of the usual Spaceport admission price which can be upgraded and combined with a trip on the famous Mersey Ferry so why not set sail back to the future on 19th -20th May!
