Furcation

What Are the Highlights of Furcation?

• Holiday Park Setting: Shared chalets and caravans at a coastal holiday park rather than a hotel.
• Press Start!: A video game-inspired theme marking the convention's 2026 return.
• Coastal Relaxation: Known for its laid-back atmosphere and on-site pool access.
• Community Focus: A tight-knit, social environment distinct from larger city conventions.

How Do I Get to Furcation?

Previous editions have been held at John Fowler holiday parks near Pool in Cornwall. The nearest airports are Newquay Cornwall Airport (NQY), about 20 miles away, and Exeter Airport (EXT), roughly 80 miles east. Most attendees drive; the A30 dual carriageway runs directly through Cornwall from the M5 motorway. Par and Liskeard are the nearest mainline railway stations with Great Western Railway services from London Paddington (approximately 4.5 hours). Local taxis or arranged lifts cover the last stretch from the station to the holiday park.

Where Should I Stay for Furcation?

Accommodation is part of the Furcation experience. Attendees book shared chalets and caravans at the holiday park rather than traditional hotel rooms. The park includes on-site swimming pools, bars, and communal areas. Allocating a chalet with friends is the usual approach, keeping costs well below a hotel stay. Specific park and booking details are announced once the 2026 venue is confirmed.
