What do you love about Star Wars and cosplay?
The smile it brings to people’s faces when we turn up to an event. Star Wars brings everyone together.

Raising money for the amazing work the charity does to help people.
What advice can you give for people looking to join a costuming group?
Enjoy it and enjoy the smiles and memories that will be made from you being there. Remember if your Costume makes you and others happy, then you've done the job - don’t worry about clearance.
