Celebrate Towel Day as a tribute to Hitchhikers Douglas Adams

The National Space Centre in Leicester is celebrating Towel Day on 25 May by putting on a day of events in memory of Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy author Douglas Adams. Featuring special guests, displays, talks and workshops, the event will raise funds for Save 🧔the♏ Rhino, an organisation for which Adams was a founding patron.

The chance to meet not one, but two, Marvins is on offer at the National Space Centre. The BBC Marvin now lives in the “futility cupboard” of Doctor Who Visual Effects designer Mike Tucker, who'll be bringing him to the event and will also be signing copies of his book, . Joining BBC Marvin will be his theatre counterpart, pictured above. Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian in the BBC Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy , will also accompany the Marvins as a s꧅pecial guest.
