Calling All Wizard Rockers of the North!

by Claire Furner · October 26, 2013

The north of England, that is. A very special fan-hosted event is coming your way.

Fresh from his performance at LeakyCon London this August, Alex Carpenter will be jetting over from the US to Macclesfield, Cheshire, for a one-off performance at a special fandom Christmas event.

Headlining a night of wizard rock, Carpenter will be taking to the stage on December 7 among the likes of Jadene Doak, Hayley Carr, and the Lost Diadems in a night no Muggle will forget in a hurry! Tickets start from 12GBP and can be purchased here.

The fun doesn’t end there, however. During the day, the venue will play host to a “Diagon Alley of treasure and treats” with stalls selling plenty of geeky gifts, tea, and cake and a range of craft events, all accompanied by live acoustic music. What better way to begin the Christmas season than to geek out among friends, while getting ahead of your Christmas shopping at the same time!

For more details on the where and when of “Have Yourself a Very Geeky Christmas,” check out the Facebook event here.

If anyone is planning on attending, we would love to hear from you. Let us know in the comments section below.
