Confuzzled

ConFuzzled 2027 is the UK's largest furry convention, running from 28 May to 1 June 2027 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole in the West Midlands. This year's theme is XXTREME Racing, a motorsport-styled edition that continues the event's long-running tradition of big stage productions. With over 3,000 attendees expected, it remains the flagship furry event in the country, drawing people from all over the world to the NEC complex.

The venue is a major logistics win for international and domestic travellers. Birmingham International Station is right next door, with direct trains from London, Manchester and Scotland, plus a free monorail link from the airport. The main Hilton block is the heart of the con, but nearby hotels like the Crowne Plaza and Moxy often serve as overflow options if you miss the primary room allocation.

Registration works differently here than most other cons. The main route in is a residential package that bundles your badge with a hotel room, allocated through a two-week lottery rather than first-come-first-served. This keeps the odds fair for everyone, regardless of timezone. As usual, the event raises significant funds for animal charities, having donated over �40,000 in recent years. It is a busy, well-organised weekender that really captures the scale of the UK furry community.
