Overview[edit]
Furcation has been pitched as an event for those seeking an alternative to the convention format and for those who are looking for a cheaper and more relaxing event to attend. Described as "Pontins/Butlins for Furries!", this event offers accommodation in chalets and caravans that can cater to 1-6 people with various luxury options.
History[edit]
Furcation was originally scheduled to take place over September 11-14, 2015,[2] at the Warrens Holiday Village in Clevedon, North Somerset, England.[2] Due to difficulties with the planned venue, the convention was canceled for 2015 with the staff expressing the hope to put together an event for 2016.[3]
The first held event, Furcation 2016, took place over the weekend of October 14-17 2016 at the John Fowler Combe Martin Beach holiday park in Combe Martin. The event attracted 90 registered attendees [4] of which, 48 opted for Sponsorship.
The event raised £530 for their nominated charity, Secret World .[5] The event has received good reviews from attendees and the venue's staff who have liked the relaxed nature of Furcation and its balance between events and social time.

Controversy[edit]
In 2024, Furcation lost its hosting location for the year after the owners cancelled it due to the alleged actions of what are claimed to be 50 to 60 individuals'[who?] at that year's event, where it is claimed such individuals partook in (venue and [party rooms] damage, drug use, unruly behavior, etc.[6]
Successive to this statement, Furcation staff posted an acknowledgement that, as a result of internal leaks, emotional distress and other pressures the statement given on November, 27 was unprofessional.[7] A feedback form was subsequently opened at the website
Several attendees may be permanently banned from attending Furcation in the future.
