National Space Centre to host free virtual weekend of talks, Q&A sessions, workshops and family experiences next month to celebrate British sci-fi

The National Space Centre will be hosting a free virtual weekend of talks, Q&A sessions, workshops and fun family experiences next month.

Aiming to celebrate British sci-fi between May 14 and 16, special guests will include Sapphire and Steel's Joanna Lumley as well as Doctor Who's Alex Kingston and Paul McGann.

BritSciFi will be a celebration of Doctor Who, Blake’s 7, Sapphire and Steel, Thunderbirds, The Prisoner, The Tomorrow People and many other iconic science fiction films, TV programmes, books, comics, games and art.

The Friday will see sessions for schools, children, families and fans including the science behind the shows — as well as a chance to learn how to develop characters and build new worlds.

This kicks off into a weekend of special guest Q&A sessions, workshops and social sessions.

It will be hosted on the National Space Centre’s Facebook page and YouTube channel, with a mix of live and pre-recorded sessions with special guests.

Submit your questions now on the centre’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
