The first ever Knightmare convention has reached its fan-funding goal and will go ahead this weekend.

The classic CITV game show's inaugural event will take place on May 9-11 at EPIC studios in Norwich, where the show was originally filmed.



The event required strong ticket sales and fan pledges in order to be staged, and surpassed its required total of £12,000.

The event will open with a performance by the Knightmare Live theatre show. There will also be Q&A sessions with celebrity guests, a workshop on designing a dungeon room and the chance to play a Knightmare room using the original blue screen technology.

Guests will include the series' creator Tim Child and actors from the show, including Hugo Myatt, who played dungeon master Treguard, and Mark Knight, who played Lord Fear.



Tickets are still available and are priced at £15, so if you want to give your 10-year-old self an awesome day out, head on down.

Knightmare aired for eight series on ITV between 1987 and 1994.

The show was revived for a one-off special in 2013 on YouTube, as part of the video site's 'Geek Week'.
