GAME of Thrones fans are expected to flock to the city centre to become rulers this weekend.

The ‘Iron Throne Experience’ will be brought to Crowngate Shopping Centre, in Worcester, part of which will be transformed into Westeros.

Event-goers will have the opportunity to handle props including Don Joffrey’s crown, legendary swords Longclaw and Ice, have access to a life-size dragon skull, and of course, take a seat on the Iron Throne with professional photography to capture the moment.

The event launches today (September 6) and will run until Sunday at The Pod – located at the shopping centre’s Friary Walk.

Guests will become immersed in all the land far west of the known world has to offer.

The experience kicks off from 11am to 7pm, 10am until 6pm on Saturday and between 11am and 6pm on the final day.

Medieval star, Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow moved to Worcestershire at the age of 11.

His success has brought him major roles including in Pompeii, Seventh Son, Spooks: The Greater Good and Testament of Youth and on BBC show Gunpowder.

Kit was a former student at the Chantry School in Martley and Worcester Sixth Form College.

Mike Lloyd, centre manager said: “In Game of Thrones, many people die in the battle to rule Westeros from the Iron Throne, but the people of Worcestershire and beyond don’t need to lose their heads to do so now we have it coming to the shopping centre.

“This is a fantastic coup for Crowngate and Worcester, as not only is this the home city of Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, but the Iron Throne Experience has only been to two other UK shopping centres before.

“It’s set to be an amazing few days and we are thrilled to be bringing something so different to Crowngate, where people from near and far can enjoy the cult show on a new level.”

Tickets for this cost between £10 and £30 (starting at £5 for children) and can be purchased at the event on the day.
