The Winter Memorabilia Show Is Back!

The ever-popular Memorabilia Show is back at The NEC Birmingham this month – and it’s bigger than ever! With over 400 specialist traders, celebrity guests and competitions it all adds up to a memorable day out!

The Winter Memorabilia Show returns to The NEC on 26 & 27 November and brings with it a wide range of merchandise and collectables from DVDs and videos, film cells and replica costumes, action figures and movie props – in fact there is such diversity between each trader that visitors are bound to find something they’ll want to take home.

Of course The Memorabilia Show wouldn’t be complete without a few famous faces. Over the weekend there will be over 40 special guests from the world of film, TV and sport – so make sure you have more than few blank pages in your autograph book!

Star Wars fan’s favourites Warwick Davies (Wicket the Ewok) & Dave Prowse (Darth Vader) return to the show alongside Gerry Anderson the creator of classic TV shows ‘Stingray’, ‘Captain Scarlet’ and ‘Joe 90’.

There’s Lou Ferringo former Mr Universe, but undoubtedly more famous for losing his shirt as The Incredible Hulk… you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry! And new announcement Antonio Fargas who played Huggy Bear in Starsky and Hutch and starred in the last series of ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!’

For sports fanatics some of the1966 World Cup squad will be delighting visitors - Sir Geoff Hurst, Jack Charlton & Nobby Stiles are just a few.

All this alongside a celebration of Japanese pop culture including official Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, free talks and Q&A sessions with special guests and a Retro Arcade Zone! Remember misspent summers in amusement arcades playing Space Invaders and Pacman? Well the Retro Arcade Zone has over ten original video games and pinball machines from the 70s and 80s giving one lucky visitor the chance to win their own retro style tabletop arcade machine!
