Event Report: Droids @ Mshed 2026

Another great event, but...........

The first being that I wasn't able to attend and help out Mike and the others as I have done since the beginning,

but also that [unless things change re: 'the powers that be']

this year was the last one to be held at the Mshed.

The event is a free open to all, showcasing the droids that have been hand built / 3D printed etc. as seen in film and TV shows, along with stalls, lucky-dip, and attended by fellow groups who just want to share in the experience.

These include the Dalek crew, MK Garrison and others.

This year was even attended by, a close friend of mine who I've known now for many many year lol,

Samantha Alleyne [first female stormtrooper] from:

the new Star Wars films trilogy

the anthology films Rogue One & Solo a Star Wars Story

& also the TV series Andor (filmed here in the UK).

Other attendees include......

Nathan Pegler & Brian Wheeler

These guys had a great time and were also popular with the public.

The stalls outside were also very popular and these along with the MK Garrison, in full costume, helped catch the passing public who didn't know about the event.

Here are some photos from the day:

Here are just some of the amazing droids.

Visitors to the event were asked about their thoughts of the day and what they liked most about it.

The response was 100% positive.

(Thanks to everyone)

This years chosen charity was the

Great Weston Air Ambulance

Check out the amazing work they do here.

Total amount raised.....👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mike is looking for a new venue..... so fingers crossed for 2027!

Only a week to go till DROIDS @MSHED 2026

Just a week more to wait till the Droids and co return to the Mshed, which is next door to the actual Museum.

There have been more than a few hiccups and hurdles to overcome for this years event to happen.

You would not believe the red tape involved in putting on a FREE event, where EVERYBODY wins.

• The public get a great event to added to being by the waterfront and all the amazing sights to see.
• The Mshed gets free publicity from us advertising (at Mike’s own expense) the event!
• Local business also benefit from your attendance, ice-cream van, food placed etc.
• And we…..well, you help us to raise funds for the South West Air Ambulance Service.

So please come on down, if your new to Bristol, check the location map, and help support your local/national droids raise funds for a great cause.
