As with all cinema events, you do find that there are quiet times between the films. The morning did have this, but the afternoon was non stop busy!

This Princess had dressed up especially to come down to see all the Star Wars characters!! She was definitely the star of the show. And even joined in the group photos!

R2 & R5 took up position in the small lobby,
whilst the costumers mingled with the guests.
Santa arrived about 12:45pm to a guard of honour from the cosplayers.

There was plenty to entertain the guests
and a lot of happy smiles were seen on the children's (& adults) faces.

Big thanks to all who attended, it was a good day.
