The Immortal Feel the Force Day
Saturday 5 September 2026 | 11:00am–6:00pm | Peterborough Cathedral
Peterborough is set to host one of the UK’s most distinctive community events as The Immortal Feel the Force Day arrives at Peterborough Cathedral on Saturday 5 September 2026.
Feel the Force Day is a not-for-profit celebration of film, TV, sci-fi, fantasy and popular culture, with a strong focus on inclusion, accessibility and community spirit. Run by volunteers and supported by local partners, the event brings together fans, families and charities for a day that blends fun with a serious commitment to making memorable experiences available to everyone.
Visitors can expect a lively mix of costumed characters, special guests, themed displays, interactive activities, traders, collectables, games and live entertainment throughout the day. Many attendees come in costume, helping to create a welcoming and immersive atmosphere for all ages.
A key part of Feel the Force Day is its inclusive ethos. The event has built a reputation for being friendly and accessible to people with disabilities and additional needs, working to ensure as many people as possible can take part comfortably. Quiet spaces, supportive volunteers and a relaxed approach help families attend with confidence.
Proceeds from the event help support charitable causes and community initiatives, with previous years raising significant funds for good causes while also giving local groups a platform to engage with the public.
Event organiser Simon Howard said:
“Feel the Force Day has always been about bringing people together. It’s about joy, escapism and community, but also about making sure no one feels left out. Hosting the event in such an iconic venue makes it even more special, and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors for a great day.”
Peterborough Cathedral provides a striking and historic backdrop, offering a unique setting that adds to the sense of occasion while remaining at the heart of the local community.
