Redemption 03 will be held from the 21st to the 23rd of February 2003 at the Ashford International Hotel, Ashford, Kent, UK.

This will be a fan run event with all profits to charity. It will concentrate on fannish activities that let people join in rather than just sit in audience and listen.

Other events will include workshops, panels, debates, masquerade, drinking and so on.
The first guest to be announced is Blake's 7 script editor Chris Boucher, subject to work committments. Other guests will be announced later.
