Events and Activities
The band have not yet made their decisions for the performances planned over the three nights, but details will be announced soon!
Support Bands and performance times have also not yet been confirmed, but will be announced as plans are finalised.
In addition to the nightly concerts and other activities available at CenterParcs, both fans and fan clubs in the past have organised football tournaments, sing-alongs, and pub quizzes.
 
Signing Sessions and Marillion On Site
Will the band be available to sign autographs and pose for photos?
The band will be on site and available most of the weekend to mingle and sign impromptu autographs.
Will there be a signing session again this year?
Yes, in some form. Due to the greatly increased capacity this year, we are working on several new ideas for this year's signing session. Further details will be posted to this website when final decisions have been made.
 
Show time - The Venue and Other Entertainment
The stage in the Adventure Factory looks too small and there doesn't appear to be one anywhere else on site, where will the concerts be staged?
As there is no on-site stage/venue large enough for the concerts, we will be erecting a purpose-built concert arena next to the CenterParcs village as in 2007. It will only be a few minutes walk from your cottage, is heated, and contains well-stocked bars!
Will there be any seating in the concert arena?
Yes there will be limited unreserved seating at the back of the arena, which will be on a first come first served basis.
Will there be a special viewing area for people with special needs (e.g. wheelchair users)?
Yes there will be a clearly marked special viewing area. This will have strict access only by special wristband. Access to this area will be limited to those with genuine need plus ONE additional guest only.
You must contact us before 2 February 2009 to be registered for a special access wristband for this area and with any details of what we can do to help you. Special cases may be made for circumstances that arise after this date, but you must contact us immediately should your situation change.
Will there be support acts?
Yes. A list of confirmed support acts will be available on the Support Bands page of this website. Please check regularly for updates.
Will there be any after-show entertainment this year?
We will plan after-show entertainment in both the Adventure Factory and the Market Place. Both will have alcohol licences until 2am. Further details to follow.
 
The Racket REcords Merchandise Shop
Will there Marillion and Racket Records merchandise available?
Yes. We will be bringing the majority of our online catalogue PLUS the usual range of new merchandise to debut at the Weekend, and the popular "bargain bin" of discounted ex-stock items that are no longer on sale through our website.
Merchandise from Support Bands will also be available through the shop if they choose to provide it.
Will Marillion merchandise be cash only?
We expect to have credit/debit card facilities available.
Will there be long queues at the merchandise shop?
Hopefully not - we have a eager and willing team of merchandisers ready and able to serve! The shop will be in a new location to 2007, which has better access.
 
Other Activities
Will there be Contest as in previous years?
There will be several competitions and prize draws on-site to win a large selection of special prizes - including a private meeting with the band!
Full details of these will be provided in your Welcome Brochure upon arrival.
What activities are around for children during the day?
There are many leisure activities available at CenterParcs for children of all ages. Please see a list on the CenterParcs Facilities page on this website for more details.
CenterParcs provide a Children's activity programme - details of this will be available in your Welcome Brochure.
