Save the space leopards

Armed only with Nerf guns and your brains, save the space leopard eggs from predatory attacks with a combination of violence and puzzle solving.

It's a conspiracy!

The Earth is flat, Finland doesn't exist, drinking urine will cure all your ills*, and birds aren't real. Our panel discuss their favourite conspiracy theories and bizarre health beliefs, and the potential dangers in people peddling these views. 

*Disclaimer: it absolutely won't. Don't do it. And don't pour it in your eyes to treat conjunctivitis, either.

Hotel Bookings Open!

We're excited to announce that hotel bookings are now open!

Members should have received an email with details of the convention rates and how to book - if you've joined Funcon but haven't received that, please drop us a line on info@funcon.lol.

Payment is taken on arrival at the hotel and not in advance and we would therefore recommend booking early to secure a room.

There is more information on the Accommodation page. 

Jayme Rodgers

Jayme does event running as a job, and has also been involved as a volunteer at various festivals and LARP events around the country over the years. She signed up for FunCon for a fun weekend without having to do any work, but was offered the opportunity to be on committee and has a bad habit of never saying no to a new experience. 

Jayme will also be teaching AcroYoga at FunCon.

Programme Items Online!

Our full programme won't be finalised until shortly before the convention, but to give you an idea of what to expect at Funcon 1, we have added some of the programme items that we are planning to our website - see our Programme Page for details, and watch that space for more information as the convention approaches!

If you have suggestions for things you would like to see at the convention, or anything you would like to volunteer to run, please drop us an email and let us know!

Intergalactic disco

You know that outfit you love? The one you've had for ages but never get the chance to wear.... Wear that! Something you bought for a special occasion, or just because you loved it? Perfect! Cosplay you made for a convention a decade ago and has been gathering dust ever since? Absolutely!! Maybe it's just something you love to wear and feel super comfy in, like a leopard onsie? Definitely!!! The weirder the better... Then join us to rock out to some of our favourite tunes for the evening.
