Other stars attending have appeared in countless sci-fi hits, such as Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Ray Parker Jr (wrote and performed the infamous theme song for Ghostbusters) and stars and behind the scenes workers from Predator, ET, Star Wars, Twilight and many more.

Fans attending the event are being encouraged to dress up meet some of their favourite sci-fi stars. On show will be a replica of the Cantina Space Bar from Star Wars, the Temple of Gozar from Ghostbusters and the Piccadilly Symphony Orchestra will be there playing some of your favourite Sci-fi themes.
