For fans of Twin Peaks, the cult American TV series created by writer Mark Frost and director David Lynch, the annual Twin Peaks UK festival is a highlight of their calendar. Celebrating the phenomenal cult hit, that has captivated fans for nearly 30 years, from its launch in 1990 to the most recent 2017 series, the Official Twin Peaks UK Festival was founded by British writer and producer Lindsey Bowden in 2010 and has since become a hugely popular and firm favourite with both fans of the series and with Twin Peaks cast and crew members.
This September the Official Twin Peaks UK Festival returns to London to re-create the eerie, fictional town of Twin Peaks, over the weekend of September 29th and 30th at the London Irish Centre in Camden with activities extended to Camden Square Gardens. Guests will be able to rub shoulders with stars of the show as they dig into some damn fine cherry pie with a cup of coffee. David Lynch Coffee in fact.

1. Tell us what you’re looking forward to about coming to London and attending the official Twin Peaks UK Festival?
JOHN: I'm really looking forward to meeting all of the great fans in person I've been interacting with online and the new ones too. A few of them have offered to buy me a pint. So…free beer! I'm looking forward to free beer in London.
2. Will it be your first visit to the UK? If not, tell us about your last visit
JOHN: It is not my first visit to the UK but I have not been for a good long time. It will be a lot like a new city I'm sure with an air of familiarity to it. I really loved London way back then.
3. Describe your character: Deputy Chad Broxford
JOHN:Chad is a broken man. He’s arrogant, self-centred and entitled. And not entirely honest! Not nice.
4. What was it like performing in Twin Peaks last year?
JOHN:Performing in Twin Peaks was like a dream. A wonderful dream that seems to be recurring!
5. Were you a fan of the original series or was ‘The Return’ your first foray into the world of David Lynch?
JOHN:I was very much a fan of the original Twin Peaks. It woke me up like it woke up the rest of us fans. It was a disruption as David (Lynch) might call it. It was impossible to see television the same way after.

TWIN PEAKS UK FESTIVAL FOUNDER AND PRODUCER
The Official Twin Peaks UK Festival’s Founder & Producer is the vivacious and creative writer/producer Lindsey Bowden (left): “Twin Peaks is as legendary for its style as its eccentricity, its murders and its offbeat humour. I love the unique mix of eccentric characters, eerie small town atmosphere and surreal storytelling. I created the festival in 2010 and through the last eight years it has grown and developed into something very special with a lot of the fans returning year after year. We look forward to welcoming long-time Twin Peaks fans and the new generation of fans who discovered Twin Peaks in 2017 with the third TV series. This year’s festival promises to engulf them in the world of Twin Peaks within the context of David Lynch’s wider body of work.”
Official Showtime merchandise will be on sale along with plenty of other damn fine festival merchandise including Lindsey Bowden’s own book ‘Damn Fine Cherry Pie’ – a Twin Peaks inspired cookbook, published in 2016 by Octopus Books and Harper Collins.
