FunCon 1

FunCon One is a Fun Science Fiction Convention inspired by the works of authors such as Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin, and more.  We run "kids program for adults", with plenty of active games, crafting and workshops, as well as amusing panel items and unexpected talks, with a fun science or science fiction twist. 

We are non-profit convention run by our members for our members - come along and join the fun!

For those who wish to take part, we are adding a gamification element to our Con!

When you collect your Con badge at Registration, you will find on it a star sticker showing your allocated Team: BLUE for Space Leopards (in homage to FunCon 1) or PURPLE for Armadillos (in homage to World Con 2024).
