WinterDoctor Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Please tell me the Olympia venue A. Actually has air conditioning and B. Will be turned on to max during this heatwave I have been to previous cons where there hasn't been any air con, not fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) It will, but there's only so much the air con can do in an old building with a glass roof and lots of people inside it at one time, Winter.

Kurdamoni Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 last year it was an oven in the guest hall, queuing was hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobd_uk Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It is always on full power at LFCC. It doesn't particularly work well, although I suppose it might be a lot hotter if it wasn't on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is true. It will be easier in the talk areas and also on the 2nd floor where the YALC takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdamoni Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The hottest is the guest hall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_batflash123 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Last year I think the coldest place I visited was the space between the guest hall and the main stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I remember the 3rd floor was the coolest part but that was only used in 2015. The guest area is the busiest so one tip is to avoid this where possible. As I’m cosplaying, it looks like if I find moments to sit down, I’ll probably take off my jackets (as well as my 7th Doctor hat on the Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broo Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bring a handheld fan with you if you can! Helps massively :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted July 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2018 Olympia are aware of the heatwave, rest assured that the air con will be switched on but as others have said it is an old building with large glass ceilings which is going to be full of people so please follow any advice posted in the venue as well as applying common sense and above all stay hydrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
