For some people, small, beautiful events are what life is all about!"
The Doctor - Earthshock
Following on from the first Arcadia event in November 2024, Cygnus Alpha Events are excited to announce Arcadia 2025, a Doctor Who event taking place in Cardiff, the home of Doctor Who since 2005!
Arcadia will be taking place at The Temple Of Peace on Saturday 22nd November 2025.
The Temple Of Peace was used for location filming in the Doctor Who episodes The End of the World, Gridlock, The Fires of Pompeii, Cold Blood, Let's Kill Hitler and Nightmare in Silver. It was also the location of the Temple on Krontep in the Season 22 Blu-Ray Box Set Trailer, The Eternal Mystery.
Doors open at 9am for registration and the first activity of the day will start at 10:15am. The event will finish at 6:30pm.
