Vworp at the Briton's Protection! Manchester's big DOCTOR WHO 61st Anniversary Birthday Party

After we had *so much fun last year for our big  60th Doctor Who anniversary party, we thought we may as well return for another party for THE BIG DOCTOR WHO 61st ANNIVERSARY on Saturday, November 23rd!

Once more, we'll be back at our spiritual home, Manchester City Centre's one and only BRITON'S PROTECTION pub for more fun and frolics than you can throw a Perigosto Stick at!

Hosted once more by our old chum, BEEP THE MEEP, you can expect to find upstairs at the BP;

++ A brand new DOCTOR WHO PUPPET SHOW from that witty knitter PROFESSOR TARPEY! Oh yes it is..

++ A 31st anniversary screening of DIMENSIONS IN TIME, complete with 3D glasses for all! Yes, we're actually going to try this. Will you Vote Big Ron or Vote Mandy? Your chance to see justice served, Edmunds be damned!

 ++ Curated VIDEO RARITIES and oddities from the inkiest depths of our very own Vworp private video vaults!

++ Party games and challenges, curated by DAVID X BRUNT!

++ A brand new DOCTOR WHO QUIZ with special prizes from Cutaway Comics' own IAN WINTERTON, including rounds read out by our in-person special guests DWM founding editor (and all round British comics legend) DEZ SKINN, Warriors' Gate and Terminus' and Faustine writer (and Manchester's own) STEPHEN GALLAGHER, Paradise Towers head of visitor amenity and creator of the Greatest Show in the Galaxy (word), STEPHEN GALLAGHER and Big Finish's War Doctor himself, great actor and fine chap JONATHON CARLEY! 

++ Blue Peter style BRING AND BUY SALE for all those DOCTOR WHO treasures you've tired of.

Plus a few surprises we are working on (stay tuned)! And of course, A BUFFET and a SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CAKE all included in the entrance fee. Any additional monies raised above costs will be donated to the BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION. 

VWORP! is a friendly, inclusive Doctor Who fan group that has been meeting informally in one of the Snugs of the BRITON'S PROTECTION and irreverent for the past ten years on the last Saturday of the Month, and before that at our much missed LASS O'GOWRIE, lost now to us in a pocket universe... 

All are welcome, we have a lot of fun throughout the year. You can find our more about our informal drop in meetings at https://www.facebook.com/vworp... or over on X (formerly known as Twitter before *he went bonkers) @VworpMeetMCR  . You'll be met by Sam and Dave Carey (in his specially selected T Shirt for the say so you don't miss him) with big smiles from 3pm every last Saturday

Please note; 

As with many of Manchester's heritage pubs, we regret that upstairs at the Briton's Protection is not accessible. However, we will be happy to help with any access requests we receive. And we do also use HOME for additional meetings throughout the year, which are fully accessible to all.

Cutaway Comics will be filming the puppet show for use on a future VAM disc. If this is a concern, please do contact our filming partners at info@cutawaycomics.co.uk for more information.
