How do I purchase DJ XXI merchandise?

We’ll be selling the usual array of top-notch Red Dwarf and Fan Club merchandise in The Hampton Suite at the hotel.

The merchandise room can accept payments via cash or card.

How do I purchase a Coffee Lounge ticket?

Dimension Jump’s Coffee Lounge sessions offer a not-to-be-missed chance to chat with the on- and off-screen stars of the show over a brew.

Understandably, these sessions are very popular and tickets are strictly limited to ensure these events remain uniquely intimate (and safe).

This year, we will be running a ballot for the opportunity to buy tickets. You can register your interest by giving your name (plus a friend’s, if desired) at the registration desk. The ballot will close at 21:30 on Friday, 10th September 2021. Randomly chosen winners will be informed via hotel whiteboards, and asked to come to the registration desk on Saturday morning (between 08:30 and 10:00) to pay for their tickets.

Coffee Lounge tickets cost £30 each. You can attend either the Saturday or Sunday session – not both. Coffee Lounge guests will be confirmed on the weekend.

Please note that the registration desk is only able to accept cash.

How do I purchase a ticket for a professional photoshoot with the guests?

Professional photoshoots tickets are available to purchase from the registration desk.

Tickets cost £30 per photo. Additional prints of the same image may be purchased for £5 each.

Photoshoot sessions take place on Saturday and Sunday mornings with the group of guests in attendance that day. The group of photoshoot guests for each day will be confirmed at the registration desk.

Please note that the registration desk is only able to accept cash.
