Familiar from numerous appearances at events across the region, The Joker Squad is a charitable organisation founded in 2013 that dresses up as characters from The Star Wars universe and raises funds for the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice. Their members will be donning costumes and collecting money on the night for this worthy cause.

There will plenty of opportunity for movie fans to have photos with Princess Leia, Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers and other iconic movie characters.
