Orbital 2008, the 59th British National Science Fiction Convention, will take place from the 21st to 24th March in the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow Hotel, London. Guests of honour are Neil Gaiman, Tanith Lee, China Mi?©ville and Charles Stross, plus fan guest Rog Peyton.

Jetse, one of Interzone’s esteemed editors, will make the journey from Holland to be there and I (Roy) will be selling TTA magazines in the dealers’ room. I’ll try to get attending Interzone authors to join us on the stand so come and see us if you are there.

Eastercon is an annual four-day science fiction convention run by volunteers in a different location each year. Many branches of fandom are represented, including science fiction and fantasy literature, movies, TV, games, costumes, art, filk, and fanzines.

Orbital 2008 will feature many panel discussions and workshops on a wide range of subjects, a large dealers’ room, a video stream, games, discos, a cabaret, a ceilidh (folk-dancing), a play, a masquerade (fancy-dress competition), an art show and auction, talks by the guests and other invited speakers, filk sessions, the BSFA awards, auctions, parties, a real ale bar, and much more.
