Fantasycon is the annual convention of the British Fantasy Society. Fantasycon is attended by members and non-members, including authors, agents, publishers, bloggers, reviewers, podcasters and people who want to celebrate all things fantasy and horror!
Join our talks and engage with authors, editors and publishers as they share their love of the craft and offer advice and tips to writers new and old. We host Panels, Discussions, and Interviews.
Looking for your next adventure? We usually have a free bookbag, where wonderful publishers and authors have donated books for you to take home. In addition there is a room full of Fabulous dealers who want to tempt you to buy their latest offerings. You can meet wonderful authors and get your books signed.
Fantasycon is an opportunity to meet people involved in publishing, including authors, publishers, agents, reviewers, bloggers and more. It’s a great place to meet people with similar interests and make friends.
Full access to the whole weekend’s events including all: panels, workshops, readings, interviews, and book launches.
Prior to the event, you may nominate works for the BFS Award, then attend the BFS Awards ceremony at Fantasycon to see who wins!
There is also the BFS Award Banquet (additional ticket) so you can enjoy a prestigious dinner with other attendees before the Awards announcements.
