10 Reasons to Attend Fantasy Con Scotland 2025

Fantasy Con Scotland returns on Saturday 7th June 2025 at the stunning Paisley Town Hall - and this year, it’s strictly for over-18s. If you love fantasy, live experiences, and escaping the real world for a day, here are ten reasons why this event is unmissable:

1. Adults-Only Fantasy Fun

This isn’t your average convention. Fantasy Con Scotland is designed just for grown-ups. It's a place where you can truly dive into the fantasy world without holding back.

2. The Big Feede Tavern

Wander into a themed tavern experience, complete with fantasy-inspired food like Wanderer’s Stew and drinks served as health, magicka, or luck potions. It’s immersive, fun, and delicious.

3. Themed Entertainment

From performances to live music and interactive characters roaming the halls, expect surprises at every turn. The entertainment is bold, weird, and wonderfully whimsical.

4. Cosplay Contests with a Twist

Whether you’re handcrafting your costume or transforming with makeup, there’s a contest for you. Categories include Best Creature, Best Prop, and more - plus a prize pool that includes event tickets and vouchers.

5. Meet Local Creatives

Scotland is bursting with fantasy-loving makers, performers, and artists. Meet them at their stalls, support their work, and discover unique treasures you won’t find anywhere else.

6. An Immersive Marketplace

The traders’ hall is more than just shopping - it’s a fantasy experience in itself. Expect themed displays, mysterious oddities, handcrafted goods, and fan-favourite collectables.

7. Quests and Challenges

Take part in convention-wide mini games, puzzles, and story-driven quests. Complete challenges, collect tokens, and try to claim the title of Quest Champion by the end of the day.

8. Meet the Dragons

Get up close to two of the event’s dragons. These incredible creatures are perfect for selfies and jaw-dropping moments.

9. The Vibe

It’s hard to describe, but you’ll feel it the moment you arrive. Everyone’s there to escape, play, and enjoy the magic. Whether you come solo or with a fellowship, you’ll be in good company.

10. One Day Only

This is the only Fantasy Con Scotland event happening in 2025, and tickets are limited. If you miss it, you miss it - so grab yours before they vanish.
