Every panel, every official event, all the fan meet ups and group photos announced so far. Literally everything I could find (with a lot of help from others on social media) all in one place so you can see exactly how events line up. Group photos and the HoloNet News Stages have now been added so now is the perfect time to start planning your Celebration. Download it, personalize it to your schedule. I hope you find it useful.

TICKET SALE AND HOTEL BLOCK
Tickets for Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 went on sale on Thursday, June 30, at 12:00 ET / 17:00 BST.
Adult tickets cost £194.05 for 4-Day badges and £81.25 for single day badges (including VAT and service charge).
Kids tickets cost £76.45 for 4-Day badges and £42.85 for single day badges (including VAT and service charge).
Jedi Master VIP tickets cost £957.25 (including VAT and service charge). For the full contents of the Jedi Master Package please see here.
A "limited number" of single day tickets went back on sale Janury 27. At the moment all days are still available except for Saturday.
The LYTE ticket exchange officially opened on February 22. You can only return/purchase tickets that are officially sold out (currently Jedi Master, Adult 4-Day, and Adult Saturday). If you are trading tickets privately please be careful as the email that you used to buy the badge is linked to your panel and exclusive lotteries so make sure you discuss and agree with the seller to have this changed with ReedPOP.
The official hotel block is now open but the prices are absolutely obscene (see here). My recommendation would be to book something refundable/cancellable through the block then keep checking with the local hotels directly in case better rates become available or book something further out with easy access on the London underground. Please also check out this post for details on current construction work at the ExCeL Center that you may want to keep in mind when booking your hotel.
