Doctor Who Day at the British Emporium

Every year, the British Emporium hosts what has affectionately called by most Whovian’s as "Doctor Who Day."  For at least five hours, The British Emporium brings in as many “Whovian large props,” “trivia” and eager cos-players as possible into their small parking-lot.  People often retire into the nearby metal shop to watch old or new episodes, and groups such as the U.S.S Joshua and WhoFest show off their latest stuff.

This year the event was visited by a number of attractions including the U.S.S Joshua's very iconic Tardis as well as M Propmaker Max Kirklnads latest tardis.  K9 as always was a popular attraction and local coplayers could be spotted posing with him. 


This year, as in the past 3 years to date, Cosplay Gallifrey also came to play.  This year, like last year
its members took home prizes for Best in Show, Best Femme Doctor and Best Male Doctor.   This year however, Keeley Grazer and her pink daleks took the prize for bes kids costume.


Local CBS Affiliate was also there to record member David Henderson, dressed impeccably as usual by his wife, Margaret Hui Henderson came forward with the newest 12th Doctor look as premiered in “The Magician’s Apprentice” episode, and Den Mother Debbie Redfern showed off her Femme War Doctor cosplay. Which took best Femme Doctor.   



April Shriver was awarded a new prize, “Best in Show” which all of the members were extremely proud of.

The British Emporium’s event is one of the small but worthwhile events Cosplay Gallifrey looks forward to every fall.
