DESCRIPTION:Aberacon is a small\, bilingual furry convention happening in P
 ort Talbot\, Wales\, from 28 to 30 August 2026. It takes place at the Best
  Western Aberavon Beach Hotel\, right on the Aberavon seafront. The event 
 is deliberately capped at 150 attendees plus staff\, keeping the vibe clos
 er to a large gathering of friends than a busy convention floor. If you ha
 ve found bigger UK cons overwhelming\, this is a comfortable place to meet
  people and actually talk to them over the weekend.\nThe 2026 theme is Gly
 wysing\, named for the early medieval Welsh kingdom that covered this part
  of the south-east coast. The programming leans into the Mabinogion\, King
  Arthur's knights\, and the hounds of Annwn rather than generic fantasy. E
 very public page on the official site carries a full Welsh translation\, s
 o the language is treated as native to the event\, not just a novelty. It 
 is the only furry convention in Wales\, run by the WelshFurs community\, a
 nd it has grown from a free one-day gathering into a full weekend event.\n
 The venue sits on a Blue Flag beach\, which is one of the longest in Wales
 . On a clear day\, the view runs across Swansea Bay to the Mumbles\, makin
 g it an unusually good spot for fursuit photography. The host hotel is ful
 ly booked for the weekend\, so attendees are encouraged to find their own 
 accommodation in the surrounding area. Registration is closed\, but there 
 is a waiting list by email for anyone hoping to get a returned place.
