Memorabilia (event)

Memorabilia was a fan convention event held in the United Kingdom since 1994, aimed at fans and collectors of film, television and sporting memorabilia. The event, now a sister event to the MCM London Comic Con, described itself as "Europe's largest collectors fair for sci-fi, pop, cult tv, comics & film memorabilia."[1] Memorabilia featured exhibit spaces that held screenings, costumed performers greeting fans, celebrity signings, replicas of movie props and sets, and booths for dealers to sell merchandise.[2]

History

The Memorabilia convention took place several times a year. Spring shows generally were held at the NEC Birmingham, and winter shows at the ExCeL Centre in London Docklands.[2]

The convention attracts over 30,000 visitors and about 250 traders. It has in previous years been held three times a year, and with additional events in other locations (notably London, Manchester, and Glasgow).[citation needed]

Memorabilia was purchased by events company MCM Expo Group in 2008[3] and underwent significant change from a trade-focused event in order to attract a wider public audience. Q&A sessions, screening areas and gaming tournaments were added. Several years later, Memorabilia was folded into MCM's London Comic Con. [4]

Celebrity guests were originally found dotted around the hall but in recent shows have been placed together in a special guest area.[citation needed]
