RushCom - Comic Con at Rushden Library for Siberian Husky rescue, RUSHDEN

Saturday 05 October 2024
Location : Northamptonshire County Council: Rushden Library, The Rushden Centre, Newton Road, RUSHDEN, Northamptonshire, NN10 0PT, United Kingdom
Rushden Library lost their manager Liam Dorney very suddenly to a heart attack back in March. Liam was 36 years old and a huge Star Wars fan, he had a full Vader costume and was working on becoming a member of the 501st.

In Liams honour we are planning RushCom, a comic con event in the library. There will be a cosplay contest, performances, workshops, retro gaming and a few specialist retail stalls. The whole event is completely free for the community. If it is successful we would like to make it an annual community event.

This event is raising money for SHARE Rescue, a charity for rehoming Siberian Huskies as Liam had a rescue from there

This event supports S.H.A.R.E. Rescue

The UK Garrison costumers will be at the event between 10:00 and 16:00.
Star Wars Imperial costumers requested.

Events disclaimer

Event times

The times given are the times we will be on site at the event but unfortunately this doesn't necessarily mean we will be available to meet you throughout the whole of this period. Our plan for the day is usually confirmed with the event organisers closer to the event or even on the day. We will also require refreshment breaks. You may be able to get more specific details from the event organisers themselves if you contact them for when we are scheduled to meet with the public.

Star Wars & Reel Icons costumers

This has been added to the event details to let you know what kind of costumers this event has requested i.e. Star Wars only, Reel Icons only or a mixture of costumers. With all our events, we cannot guarantee what costumers will be available to attend as we are all volunteers who do this in our spare time so it is always on a 'best endeavours' basis.

Cancellations

Unfortunately, sometimes our attendance at an event is cancelled. This is infrequent but can happen for a variety of reasons including the event itself being cancelled or rescheduled by the organiser, inclement weather, costumers that are within the locale of that event being unavailable or ill. We recommend that you check back regularly with this calendar to ensure our attendance at a particular event is still scheduled.

The UK Garrison is proud to support the following charities.
