The Avengers 50th Anniversary event

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of cult TV show The Avengers, The University of Chichester is hosting an event this summer featuring, cast, crew and of course, a host of Avengers-related events.

It takes place over 25th and 26th June, with guests so far confirmed including Honor Blackman (Cathy Gale), Linda Thorson (Tara King), scriptwriter Brian Clemens and director Robert Fuest, plus many more actors, and production people. There's also new and exclusive video contributions from Patrick Macnee, Laurie Johnson and Joanna Lumley.
Diana Rigg? Not mentioned so far…we can hope.

Events for the weekend include everything from BFI-sponsored screenings, memorabilia exhibitions and signings through to a 'craft stage', 'Emma Peel's Lotus Display' and 'The Hellfire Club Saturday Night Party'. Check out the website for everything confirmed so far, with more to come before the mid-summer date.

Tickets are £80 per day or £150 for the weekend ticket, with accommodation available within the university campus, priced from £36 per night.
