Booking options: 
To attend any part of the event you need to purchase Fantasycon 2023 Tickets. This is a sliding scale of costs depending on whether you are a member of the BFS, adult/student/child prices and when you book. Prices will go up in about a month after they go on sale and about a month or so before the event and buying a membership on the day will be more expensive again.  

The Day entry tickets are intended for people who wish to just wish to attend on a single day,  these will not go on sale until about a month before the event.  Booking a weekend ticket in advance may work out more economical.  These do not include any Award voting rights.  

If you would like a table to sell items please book ticket and table via the Dealers page.

 

All purchases from our site have a non refundable booking fee.  These costs are outlined on each item in the shop.
