RSK Convention 2024
Saturday 7th September
We have finally managed to secure a venue for this year's RSK Convention 2024 'Fun Size' event!!!
This year's event will be held at:
THE CHARLESTOWN PUB
204 Charlestown Rd, Manchester M9 7ED
6:30PM till 1AM
It's a great pub... good food... good drink... reasonable prices... good vibe and great owners!
We have exclusive hire of the whole venue!
It's not as central as we'd hoped this year's venue would be, however... it's only a short train journey from Manchester Victoria to Moston station, which only cost a couple of quid and it's only 0.8 miles away from the venue.
There's also a bus stop right outside the venue called 'The Charlestown' and the 118, 119 & 718 busses all stop here.
The venue is wheelchair friendly, it has quite a lot of onsite free parking and there's also loads of free on street parking in and around the venue itself.
There will be 250 of us saucer drinkers in attendance!
This venue has a maximum capacity of 250 people... so it will be pretty cosy, but should still be lots of fun!
There's also plenty of outdoor space, front & back... so it won't be too much of a tight squeeze!
The venue has another private function on that day from 12pm till 6pm... so please do not to turn up too early or try to enter the premises prior to 6:30pm. If you are a tad bit early... then you are more than welcome to congregate outside the front and await the go ahead from our staff when we are ready to open the doors.
HOT FOOD AVAILABLE ON THE NIGHT!!!
We are so happy to announce that there will be some delicious Caribbean hot food options available to buy on the night!
However... we highly recommend that you pre-order your meals before the 24th of August to avoid disappointment. There will only be a limited amount of additional food available to buy on the actual night... but once it's gone, it's gone!
Any pre-orders received after the 24th of August might not be honoured. Do not be disappointed if your pre-order isn't available on the night. We gave plenty of notice to avoid disappointment.

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for the previous convention... this event could not have been possible without your support, so for this we are forever thankful.
We would encourage you all to buy your tickets for the next event asap... this not only secures your place... it also ensures that this very niche & unique event continues to exist.
The 'RSK CONVENTION' is an annual convention/event celebrating all of the weird and wonderful things about Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant & Karl Pilkington... including all of their bodies of work as a collective... as well as individuals.
Whether you're a fan of the famous 3 from the good old XFM days... or you're just a fan of The Office, Extras or Idiot Abroad... this event will be right up your street!!!
This actual convention/event was merely just suggested as an idea by a fan on a RSK Facebook group back in late August 2021. Many fans/members of that said group (including myself, Steven O'Halloran, Managing Director of TIMERYDER PRODUCTIONS) reacted very positively towards actually making it a reality... so, here we are today!!!
We are totally unofficial, we have no massive sponsorship deals, nor do we have any direct connection to XFM, HBO, Ricky, Steve or Karl etc... so this is just a very humble event, created by the fans... especially for the fans... so please do not expect thousands of people to be there, with miles & miles of trade stands and unlimited content.
As much as we'd love 'The RSK Convention' to be as big as that... we are a long way away from ever competing with the likes of 'Comic Con' unfortunately.
This event is a great opportunity to dress up in RSK related Fancy Dress/Cosplay outfits and meet other like-minded people/fans who also have a shared passion for all things Ricky, Steve & Karl.
Whether you'd like to attend dressed as
Paul 'The Party Animal' Parker... or as 'Andy Millman'...
No matter what RSK related outfit you decide to come in... ALL fancy-dress is welcomed & actually encouraged. We will be offering a cash prize along with the coveted award for best outfit at the next convention... so you better start making those wings if you intend on turning up as Man-Moth.
