Sadly Annette Crosbie is no longer able to be with us at The Capitol.

However, we are delighted to announce film and television legend Shane Rimmer as a new guest. He will sign one personal item free of charge, subsequent autographs will be charged at £15 each. Please use the token originally issued for Annette to obtain your autograph from Shane.

Engineering work is taking place on Southern Railway between Three Bridges and Horsham on both 28th and 29th April, closing all lines.

The Arora have advised us that the hotel is fully booked over the weekend of The Capitol. Rooms are still available at both The Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express, which are both about a mile away.

Please note that as a result of our ever increasing guest list, Sunday's events will run until between 5pm and 6pm.

The allocation of one day tickets to The Capitol has now been filled. However, to allow anyone intending to join us for either Saturday or Sunday the opportunity to do so, booking will remain open until 6pm on 12th February.

Thereafter full weekend tickets will remain on sale, although these are now seeing increased demand, as are hotel rooms (just £60 per night).
