All the art will be available to purchase on a first come first served basis and any remaining items will be available from the Hang Gang website after the exhibition ends. There will also be vintage collectibles available to purchase too, including loose & carded figures plus other rare gems. Live music will be supplied by the Cantina Band and the evening will culminate with a screening of Star Wars, watching this master piece on mass with a beer in your hand, what more could any fanboy ask for.

Fancy dress is not compulsory but feel free to don the best Star Wars get up and come as your favourite character, this is a celebration after all! And for those who are peckish there will be Star Wars inspired food and drinks available from the ‘Wookie Cookies’ cook book!

There will only be 100 tickets released for the opening party on Friday May the 4th and they are expected to sell out very quickly. If you want to secure your place they will be available from 12 noon on Friday 30th March from our store. Tickets for the Friday are priced at £10 each + 50p booking fee.

For those who miss out on the opening party, don’t panic! There is still plenty of chance to see the exhibition, FullCircle will be open 10am – 6pm on both the Saturday and Sunday and there will be screenings of Star Wars again on both days starting at 6pm.

There are no pre-bookable tickets for the Sat / Sun, it’s pay on the door only.
