I thought I’d do something a little different for this months ’30 Geeky Things to Celebrate’, so rather than just listing out every geeky thing I think you’ll want to celebrate, I put it all into a geeky calendar that you can print out and hang on your wall – aren’t I bloody nice?

I figured this way you’ll never miss out on a special day, and the best thing is, there’s space to add some of your own things on there too. All you need to do is click on the calendar to open up the larger version, and print it out for your own use.

I hope you like it. If you’d like me to make another one for next month, make sure to let me know.

30 GEEKY THINGS TO CELEBRATE IN APRIL

1st April | Fred and George Weasley

The infamous Weasley twins from the Harry Potter books were born on April Fools Day, which seems incredibly apt for the pair of pranksters. Bust out all the April Fools Day pranks you can think of, and play tricks on everyone you know.

2nd April | 2001: A Space Odyssey

Stanley Kubrick’s epic science fiction movie turns 51 on the 2nd April. Host a 2001: A Space Odyssey re-watch with your friends or throw a space themed party.

3rd April | Fish Fingers and Custard Day

Everyone has their own favourite Doctor Who, and if yours happens to be Eleven (Matt Smith) then today marks the date of his first appearance on the show. Try the Doctors favourite food – Fish Fingers and Custard – for yourself, or maybe just stick to watching your favourite episodes.

4th April | Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger

The second season of Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger series premieres on the 4th of this month. Make sure to tune in and see what Tandy and Tyrone are up to. If you haven’t seen the first series yet, it’s on Amazon Prime.

5th April | Shazam

The DC Superhero you didn’t know you needed makes his movie debut this month in Shazam, premiering on the 5th April. Make sure you head to the cinema to check it – it’s one of my most anticipated movies this year.

6th April | Samwise Gamgee

It’s everyone’s favourite sidekick’s birthday on the 6th April. Go on your very own epic adventure, with your very own Frodo, or just simply pick up a copy of the Lord of the Rings and read until your heart’s content.

7th April | Killing Eve

Eve and Villanelle are back for season 2 of Killing Eve, premiering on BBC America on the 7th of April. If you’re not familiar with the show, it was one of the best series to come out of 2018, so make sure you catch up on the first season, then tune in for the second.

8th April | Aquaman

The Aquaman movie is finally being released on DVD in the UK, so if you never made it to the cinema to watch the DC film, make sure to check it out, even if it’s just to see Jason Momoa doing what he does best – swimming topless.

10th April | Bookmobile Day

What better day to find out whether your local town owns a bookmobile than on a day dedicated to the first libraries on wheels, dated all the way back to the 1920’s. If not, then a trip to the library is just as good, just not quite as fun.

11th April | The Avengers

Seven years ago, Avengers premiered in Los Angeles. With the latest Avengers movie due out later this month, you’d be silly not to watch the film that saw the Marvel superheroes band together for the first time, and what better day than the anniversary of the movie.

18th April | Velociraptor Awareness Day

24th April | Sliding Doors

Did you know that the Gweneth Paltrow led Rom-com turns 21 this year? Sliding Doors made us fall in love with John Hannah and start to believe in alternate universes. Do you ever wonder where you would be today if you had done something a little differently in the past?

25th April | Avengers: Endgame

The movie we’ve all been waiting for, probably since the first Iron Man was released over 10 years ago – even though we didn’t know it then. Avengers: Endgame hits cinemas on the 25th April – have you bought your ticket yet? Make sure you’re up to date with the Marvel movies as well.
