Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Droids to descend on Chantry Place for May the 4th charity event

NORCON and Norwich Droids will be celebrating Star Wars Day on Saturday 4th May 2024 at Chantry Place with a free out of this world sci-fi event, featuring Star Wars character appearances.

Between 10am and 4pm on the lower ground floor by Frasers and HMV, visitors can enjoy appearances, interactions and photos with Darth Vader, Chewbacca and droids. Visitors will also be able to make a voluntary donation to Break, making life better for young people in and around care.

Embracing the iconic tagline, “May the Force be With You”, Star Wars Day has become a tradition for many fans worldwide on 4th May.

Paul McCarthy, our general manager at Chantry Place, comments: “We’re excited to welcome NORCON, Norwich Droids and many iconic characters from Star Wars to Chantry Place to raise funds for Break. Visitors are also welcome to dress up and we know how popular this event will be. Visitors will be able to take their own photos with characters and enjoy watching the droids entertain visitors.”

Ron Auker, a crew supervisor at NORCON, said: “We’re really excited about coming to Chantry Place to help raise money for such a fantastic cause and celebrate Star Wars Day with everyone. May the force be with you.”
