Furry Connection Silvestertreffen

Furry Connection Silvestertreffen

The Silvestertreffen is a week-long furry New Year retreat run by The Furry Connection e.V., a German club founded in 2013. The 2026/27 meeting runs from December 27, 2026 to January 2, 2027 at the Alte Nudelfabrik in Zeitz, Saxony-Anhalt, under the theme "Zur magischen Nudelfabrik". Guests live, eat and celebrate together for the whole week, and everyone must be 18 or older.

What to Expect

The Silvestertreffen is a shared week away rather than a convention with a fixed programme. Guests can propose their own activities, food and events in the registration system, and the club fills the week from those ideas. The official event page describes the venue as a former industrial site turned into a conference venue. It lists table football, a billiards table, a bar, two pinball machines, five common rooms for games, PCs and craft corners, films, and plenty of board games.

The meeting runs on shared work. Every guest helps with cooking or cleaning one to four times during the week, and you can name your preferences in the registration system until November 1. Guests sleep in a separate sleeping wing, with two rooms for six people and many rooms for two to four people. About half of those rooms have their own bathroom.

How to Get Tickets

Registration is open on the club's registration site. The fee for 2026/27 is EUR 340 in total, and it covers a bed, warm meals and drinks every day, the group photo, a room sign and a personal badge. A deposit of EUR 80 is due within 30 days of registering, and the rest is due by November 20. The registration site says you can pay in up to four parts or in one payment, by bank transfer. The event page also names December 14, 2026 as the final payment cut-off, so follow the dates your registration account shows.

If you cancel by December 14, 2026, the club refunds the fee minus the deposit. After that date, only 35% of the amount paid is refunded. The number of places equals the number of beds, and the club keeps a waiting list once they are full.

How to Get There

The venue is the Alte Nudelfabrik Zeitz, Neue Werkstraße 4, 06712 Zeitz, in the south of Saxony-Anhalt. The club's page does not give arrival or departure times, so check your registration account or ask the organizers before you book travel. Pets are not allowed, according to the club's FAQ.
