Dale-Con returns to Rochdale for 2023 - taking place at the Crown Oil Arena
After a break of a few years, Rochdale’s popular Dale-Con sci-fi festival returns to town on Saturday 20 May.
The event takes place at the Crown Oil Arena, bringing big names from Star Wars, Power Rangers and Gladiators.
International actors, Jeff Parazzo and Kevin Duhaney – brought to fame by the Power Rangers films - are over from America to appear, along with 90s Gladiators favourite Kim Betts (AKA Lightning) as well as a cast of others from the biggest Marvel, DC, Disney and television productions.
Star Wars actor Andrew Lawden brings his Jedi lightsaber training to the event, and fans of Netflix won’t be disappointed either with sets from Stranger Things and Wednesday.
There will also be some great props from Game of Thrones and many other favourites from the past like Falkor the Luck Dragon from Neverending Story and even singing Disney Princesses.
Event organiser Martin Ballard said: "It’s promising to be a great family day out with something for every one and a huge collection of traders with the geekiest of cool gifts."
