This weekend, the UK gets its first True Blood convention, with tickets now available to buy on the day. A group photoshoot with the stars has also been announced!
Massive Events have a long history of putting on fantastic conventions for cult television and film. The same team behind the Collectormania shows and London Film and Comic Con, as Massive Events they hold the biggest and best Twilight conventions, as well as long-running events for Torchwood, Stargate and Joss Whedon's work, among many others. Head over to www.massiveevents.co.uk to see all their current events.
Over 6th-8th August they are bringing the stars of the brilliant HBO series True Blood over for a weekend of signings, photoshoots, parties and talks. Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Jim Parrack (Hoyt Fortenberry), Kristin Bauer (Pam) and Todd Lowe (Terry Bellefleur) will join hundreds of fans at the Northampton Park Inn for all the vampire-themed shenanigans. Visit www.massiveevents.co.uk/bitten for information and tickets.
As someone who attended their Twilight and Heroes shows, I can vouch for the insane amount of fun to be had. The relaxed atmosphere and meticulous organisation means fans are guaranteed to have quality time meeting the actors.
The themed parties are always a special treat, with Massive Events really pushing the boat out. Here are the themes for this weekend's convention:
FRIDAY NIGHT: RENE AND ARLENE'S ENGAGEMENT PARTY
You are invited to celebrate the engagement of Rene and Arlene at Bon Temps favourite Bar and Grill: Merlottes.
