NEW 2023 – ‘PRISONER’ CONVENTIONS - GUIDE TO ‘PORTMEIRICONS’

FROM ESCAPE BOOKS

Special souvenir glossy 32 page A5 professionally printed and stapled booklet about ‘Prisoner’ conventions in Portmeirion, a fully illustrated guide to the events, origin and what they represent. A celebration of the wide range of happenings, those from the past and goings-on from more modern times.
Colour photos throughout show how the ‘Village’ from ‘The Prisoner’ is brought to life annually, the scope of conventions having grown across the years. The guide marks also the 2023 return of ‘PortmeiriCon’ after a three year absence and provides memories in a colourful keepsake.

Escape and PortmeiriCon originally operated Six of One websites during the past 20 years but are no longer a direct society link and should not be regarded as Six of One's basis in any respect, nor representing the society, but simply a source of information about Six of One and its conventions, also offering souvenir and other items in coordination with the society.


Celebrating the classic TV series "The Prisoner" - glossy magazines and annual conventions in Portmeirion, where the series was filmed, with invited guests from the cast and crew - enrolling over 50,000 members since 1977. Six of One is the official and only "Prisoner" society which enthusiasts can join as members. Patrick McGoohan was the society Honorary President from 1977 until his passing in 2009. His daughter actor Catherine McGoohan was the special guest at PortmeiriCon 2014.

PETER WYNGARDE BIOGRAPHY UPDATED REVISED 2019

Peter Wyngarde sadly passed away on 15th January, 2018.

He appeared in "The Prisoner" as the leader Number Two.

His first ever biography from 2012 has since sold out and the 2019 revised and updated edition of the biography is available from Escape.


Registered members can attend all indoor and outdoor events in the many acres of grounds. The hotel village of Portmeirion is block reserved by Six of One, so that members can stay at the resort during the convention weekend. Portmeirion's shops, bars and dining facilities are also open.

Guest celebrities attend and stay over the weekend. The location was used for the filming of the cult 1967 British television series "The Prisoner", starring Patrick McGoohan. Visitors to Portmeirion over the Convention weekend can watch outdoor activities, but not attend indoor events.

To join "Six of One", see the link at the top of this page. With the backing of ITV/Granada Ventures, owners of the series, and Portmeirion, who operate their famous "Prisoner Shop", Six of One recreates the ominous "Village". From here, in the 17 TV episodes, the prisoner 'No. 6' tried each week to escape. Open buggies, giant white 'guardian' balloons, penny farthing bicycles and strange characters made up the fantasy Village. Join in the proceedings - from carnival atmosphere, to serious debate; from enactments, to screen presentations; from games like "Human Chess", on a large lawn board, to celebrity guests. The series' unforgettable catchphrase is: "Be Seeing You!"

20 BOOKS / BOOKLETS / MAP by Roger Langley - SOME AVAILABLE FROM
ESCAPE OR EBAY (user name sixofone601) OR AT PORTMEIRION.
