The Doctor Who Experience brings people closer to the show than ever before. It's a great way of storing used props, costumes and sets and makes them all accessible to viewing pleasure in person. Cardiff's 'Doctor Who Experience' brings much in the way of tourism to an otherwise socioeconomically deprived area, gives local people jobs, does much to improve the economy and let's face it: in these dark post-Brexit days, we all need some escapism. People from all over the world have travelled to the place it's become an iconic part of Cardiff and a must see place.
The Doctor Who Experience (DWE) in Cardiff Bay is closing, probably in early summer of 2017.

For the past few years visitors have been able to explore the Tardis, and see costumes and props from various series stretching back since the programme first hit screens in 1963. It’s nothing less than a place of pilgrimage for Whovians and a significant tourist draw.
Having started it's life in 2006 at the Red Dragon Centre, it soon moved to London and then expanded into the purpose-built grey building in the area now know as Porth Teigr in July 2012. It has brought millions of pounds and millions of people to Cardiff. Many of those visitors would not have otherwise experienced our brilliant city.
The petition and facebook page were set up by Bex Ferriday who has done a fantastic campaign of trying to keep the Doctor Who Experience open. I signed the petition back when it was just over a few hundred likes and to see it now get over 11,000 signatures i feel like we are onto a winner here in which hopefully will see the building survive for a lot longer.

I have not been to the Dr Who experience since 2006 and i'd love to go again and i don't want to see this fabulous experience demolished and i hope to go to it again one day before it's closure.
