Calling all Jedi, Rebels and little Padawans! Head to The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham this May for a free Star Wars-themed takeover with the Gloucestershire Troopers, celebrating the release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Saturday 23rd May 2026
1pm - 5pm

Prepare for a galactic day out as The Brewery Quarter welcomes the Gloucestershire Troopers for an exciting Star Wars celebration.

From 1pm to 5pm, visitors can meet an incredible lineup of 17 screen-accurate characters patrolling. Expect appearances from Chewbacca, Stormtroopers, The Mandalorian, Grogu, Jawas and many more favourite characters from the galaxy far, far away.

The Troopers will be appearing both inside and outside Cineworld, making this the perfect pre- or post-movie experience for Star Wars fans of all ages. Don’t forget your cameras as there will be plenty of opportunities for photos throughout the afternoon.

The Gloucestershire Troopers are a passionate group of local Star Wars fans who volunteer their time to create unforgettable experiences while raising money for the James Hopkins Trust, supporting local children with life-limiting conditions.

The event is completely free to attend, although tickets for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu at Cineworld are available separately and advance booking is highly recommended. Book tickets here
