About

Wakefield will be transformed into a living movie set this spring when dozens of cosplay movie characters descend on a shopping centre.

Deadpool, Barbie, Predator, Elsa and Iron Man will all rub shoulders with Batman, Spider-man, Optimus Prime, Belle and Chewbacca at the free two-day Star Walk event at Trinity Walk shopping centre on Saturday April 13 and Sunday April 14.

The jaw-dropping Techno Spartans will be performing live both days too – including K-Pop random play dance activities where the audience can take part in. The performers from Sheffield wear LED-covered costumes inspired by the world-famous Halo games and TV show.

Star Wars costume groups will be on patrol both days with UK Garrison and 5th Legion visiting Saturday and Mos Eisley Misfits on the Sunday.

Dino Mike will be there with his Jurassic jeep and dinosaurs, plus visitors can also jump in the Comic-Con Selfie London Cab full of props for free pics.

The star-studded event will also see a range of movie cars roll into the centre including fan-made replicas of the Starsky and Hutch Gran Turismo, Postman Pat van, A-Team van, Lightning McQueen, Jurassic Park jeep plus a Pontiac and Camaro.

Movie-themed props will include giant toy box photo opps where visitors become their own Barbie or Star Wars character, Luke’s speeder from Star Wars, Batman Begins statue, Transformers inflatable, Stay Puft inflatable and other fan-made fun inspired by the big screen.

LEGO Batgirl will wing her way in on the Saturday at The Entertainer toy shop and cosplay Sonic will speed by the centre on the Sunday.

It’s all to help raise money for West Yorkshire’s Forget Me Not children’s hospice who cover Wakefield and beyond with their amazing services, supporting families across the county.

Free face painting will be on offer both days from 10am to 4pm thanks to Donna’s Face Painting and giveaways will be up for grabs at the HMV store.
