A Sci-Fi Day is set to take place at a museum.

The REME Museum in Chippenham will host the event on April 18, 2026.

The event will run from 9.30am until 4.30pm.

The museum will be filled with memorabilia from popular Sci-Fi franchises, 'real life' creatures, celebrity guests, and cosplay.

There will also be exhibitions from Calne Wargaming Club and Models for Heroes, as well as activities with Swindon Story Shed.

The museum's social media channels, event webpage, and email newsletter will provide updates on the celebrity guests.

Crown's Café will be open for refreshments, but only for those with an event ticket.

Free parking will be available in the museum’s large car park, but visitors are asked to reserve a parking space if you need one in advance.

Blue Badge spaces will be available on a first-come-first-served basis, and you must have reserved a parking space online.

Dogs are welcome on the museum grounds, but not inside the building, with the exception of assistance dogs.

A spokesperson for the museum said: "We always encourage visitors to get tickets early to avoid disappointment."
