S5LDN

Are you organising another con?

Ceci n'est pas une convention.

No, #S5LDN isn't a con. (Although we're not a "meet" either, to be clear.) We like to think we fall into a happy medium - nestled between expensive, unsustainable events like conventions, and free-for-all turn-up-and-go meets.

What are you planning to do then?

Our event will run for the whole day, separated out into two parts. Daytime activities, and the evening "Twilight Stage".

Here's a taster of what we've got in store:

Daytime

A celebration of the Season 5 Premiere.

Vendors area, selling official merch, hand-crafted and custom pieces, prints, CDs, plushies, etc.

"Pub" quiz with awesome prizes.

Cosplay Competition (TBC).

Workshops (TBC).

Chill-out areas for chat and card-games.

Evening "Twilight Stage"

Live music performances from some of your favourite community musicians.

Live comedy.

Who's the brains behind this operation?

#S5LDN is brought to you by a rag-tag crew of people who love organising events. We've brought you two smaller pub meets, and have been involved in several more before that. This time, the pub meet evolves, and we think you're going to love it.

Why does it cost money?

Because nothing in life is free, to be short. Venue fees, licensing, equipment, consumables - you name it - it all has to be covered. That said, we believe that we offer incredible value for money for our attendees.

Value for money how?

We offer an action-packed one day experience for less than 5% of the ticket price for two-days the outgoing large convention in the UK. And we throw in the music on top of that as part of the deal, not for extra.

We're not in competition with those guys, though. We're going for a completely different experience altogether. We aim to give the South East an event that's appropriately scaled, sustainable, and that it deserves.

I'm in!
