Dress up as your favourite Star Wars character

Bring your lightsaber and your Jedi mind tricks for a chance to win cool prizes by testing your Star Wars knowledge and join in a special Star Wars Palace Nova photo-op as the team snap a pre-film photo of a theatre full of Jedi and Sith.

Next Generation of Star Wars Fans

If you have nurtured the next generation of Star Wars fans in your children, bring them along, they might even win some prizes if they brush up on their Star Wars knowledge.

After all, it’s far easier to remember Star Wars trivia than times tables!
