Contents
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.
2025[edit]
Furcation was cancelled for 2025 only:[6]

Controversy[edit]
In 2024, Furcation lost its hosting location for the year after the owners canceled it due to the alleged actions of what are claimed to be 50 to 60 individuals' at that year's event, where it is claimed such individuals partook in (venue and party rooms damage, drug use, unruly behavior, etc.[7]
Successive to this statement, Furcation staff posted an acknowledgment that, due to internal leaks, emotional distress, and other pressures, the statement given on November 27 was unprofessional.[8] A feedback form was subsequently opened at the website
Several attendees may be permanently banned from attending Furcation in the future.
