Stars of iconic ITV comedy show Benidorm will be reunited for a one-off event with thousands of fans expected to attend the event. Benicon will take place in the Costa Blanca resort from November 18-20 with fans rushing to snap up tickets.
Popular characters such as randy barman Mateo (played by Jake Canuso), hotel manager Joyce Temple-Savage (Sherrie Hewson) and acid-tongued Madge Harvey (Sheila Reid) alongside series regulars Asa Elliott and Crissy Rock.
Show writer and creator Derren Litten hopes more stars will be confirmed in the coming weeks with fans desperate to see a reunion of the Garvey family, hairdresser Kenneth Du Beke (Tony Maudsley) and cross-dressing barman Les Conroy (Tim Healy).
The convention also promises karaoke each afternoon in the legendary Neptune’s, allowing fans to perform on the famous stage, as well as quizzes, best costume awards, themed bars and location hunts. Guests can also visit show locations like Peacock Island and the Algar Waterfalls.
Highlight of the weekend will be a star-studded gala reunion show at the Benidorm Palace, hosted by Derren Litten. Weekend passes for the event, backed by hotel chain Melia, will give fans unlimited access to the convention for the three days. Ticket details can be obtained here.
Guests will also be able to stay at the famous Solana Hotel - the location of the long-running series. Pool scenes in the TV show were filmed at the Sol Pelicanos Hotel, located in the centre of Benidorm near to Morgan’s Bar which doubled up as Neptunes in the series.
