We are delighted to announce that the 2010 Bram Stoker Awards Banquet will be held at the famous Palm Court
fish-and-chip restaurant situated right at the heart of the historic
Brighton Pier itself, with
magnificent views of the coastline and out to sea.
Originally known as the "Palace Pier", construction began in 1891 and the pier opened to the
public in May 1899. It cost a record £137,000 to build.
A Grade II* listed building, Brighton Pier
captures all the traditional splendour of yesterday with the fun and excitement of today.
The pier has been seen in movies as diverse as Carry On at Your Convenience to
Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's MirrorMask and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The
Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It was also featured in the 1980 Doctor Who serial "The Leisure Hive".
Offering a variety of activities and venues 365 days a year—including bars,
restaurants, arcades side-show games and a thrilling fairground—Brighton Pier
is packed with things to do and is situated directly across the road from the main convention hotel.
The HWA Bram Stoker Awards Banquet will start at 7:00pm on Saturday, March 27. The menu consists of:
Brussels Pate & Melba Toast
served with Chips and Mushy Peas
Coffee or Tea
Bread & Butter
Vegetarian Spring Rolls
served with a Medley of Fresh Vegetables
Coffee or Tea
Still Water and complimentary Red and White Wine
will be supplied courtesy of the Horror Writers Association.
There is also a full cash bar.
The cost of the above is £32 per person (including VAT),
available only to HWA members, 2010 Stoker Award nominees or registered
members of World Horror Convention 2010. Entrance is by ticket only. Places
are limited and available on a first-come basis. You can reserve a table of 10
people for £320 (please contact stokerawards@whc2010.org
£32—Fish
£32—Vegetarian
The awards ceremony will start when coffee is served (around approximately 8:45-9:00pm)
and—if space allows—those members of World Horror Convention 2010 who do not wish to
attend the Banquet will then be allowed limited access and use of the cash bar upon presentation
of a valid convention badge. The presentations should be over by 10:30pm, when the Horror Writers
Association will sponsor a Post-Stoker Awards Party back at the Royal Albion Hotel.
Please note that due to the nature of this event, if you book and then fail to
attend the Bram Stoker Awards Banquet, you will not receive a refund. However,
you can transfer your ticket to someone else up to a month prior to the event
with written confirmation.
