A weekend of geek fun and frolics from the people behind SCI-FI-LONDON, the annual SF film festival.
This sci-fi weekend is not a convention, it is not a film festival, it is not an expo' - it is an EXPeriment.
We will bring you a varied film programme, including an all-nighter and lots of incredible short films.
We will have the latest PC and console games available to play, but also classics and retro titles. We have an amazing collection of table-top games and places to play! We have workshops, talks, our infamous quiz, lots of stuff to get involved in. Quite simply, this experiment will test your limits.
