The fun starts at 8pm on 21st March as Omega Sektor hosts a Heroes and Villains Masquerade Ball, where guests are invited to come along dressed as their favourite comic alter ego, and the best dressed will win a One Year Free Play Pass to be used at Omega Sektor. The party will run until midnight and include gaming challenges and tournaments, special drinks and music from the resident DJ.

The weekend gets into full swing on Saturday 22nd when doors open at 10.00am with heroes and villains taking to the floor to meet the people posing for photos and signing autographs. Special guests include Ms Liberty and The Ghost Widow from the City of Heroes & City of Villains games. Money raised from selling the photographs will be donated to a special charity - the Draw the World Together Foundation whose artists will also be on hand to sketch players as their favourite comic characters. Activities will run until 24th March.
