Highlander Worldwide

It’s somewhat apt to say the story began many, many years ago… in fact, back in the mists of time (or, at least last century!) as a small group of Highlander fans in Australia and with a fan-club name that reflected that geography… HLDU (or Highlander Down Under).

Small events were designed for like-minded people to get together and celebrate the Highlander franchise.

But as interest grew and the fledgling internet extended the reach even further, the club grew and after a run of compact and bijou gatherings, it was clear that some people were coming from much further afield. Even in those early stages, word amongst the fans AND the people who made Highlander was that these meetings and conventions were a dynamic that allowed both sides to benefit.

Actors and behind-the-scenes talent began to attend the events with the same enthusiasm as fans and sometimes travelling thousands of miles to do so. With recognition far beyond Australia, the decision was made to hold events internationally and Davis-Panzer, the producers of the films and tv series, suggested that  the team should become the official Highlander fan-club on an international level. So HLDU became HLWW, or ‘Highlander WorldWide‘…

In the years since, the organisation has run conventions and tours in Australia, America, Canada, England, Scotland, France and beyond. The remit has been simple – whether at ‘physical’ conventions or online, we bring fans of Highlander together. It doesn’t matter where you’re from (or where you’re going), HLWW is the place for fans to feel welcome, safe and appreciated.

So, join us. There’s no fee or payment needed, only participation. In the end there can be only fun.
