The 99th Garrison lands at Walkden Shopping Centre on Saturday, 21st June, for a day that promises intergalactic fun, epic photo opportunities, and most importantly, community spirit.
🌌 The Galactic Mission
From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, prepare to come face-to-face with your favourite Star Wars characters, from stormtroopers and Sith Lords to bounty hunters and Jedi. These legendary figures aren’t just here for show — they’re uniting for a cause that matters: raising money for Mencap, a charity supporting people with learning disabilities.
📸 Meet & Greet with the Empire’s Finest
Want to meet Darth Vader, Mandalorians, and more in person? Make sure you’re there between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM for an exclusive meet and greet session. It’s the perfect chance to pose with your heroes (or villains!) and capture memories that will last light-years.

🌠 Why It Matters
This isn’t just about lightsabres and cosplay — it’s about coming together as a community to support an incredible cause. With your help, the 99th Garrison will be patrolling the centre and collecting donations for Mencap. Every photo snapped, every smile shared, and every coin dropped helps make a difference.
🚀 Join the Mission
No need to bring your spaceship — just gather your Jedi squad, dress up (if the Force moves you), and bring your best smile. Whether you support the Rebel Alliance or pledge allegiance to the Dark Side, all are welcome to join the mission.
So, Walkden, are you ready to make the Kessel Run to your local shopping centre for a day of galactic adventure?
May the funds be with you!
