About ConFuzzled
ConFuzzled (CFz) is an annual furry convention in the United Kingdom, and Britain's first fully residential furry convention. Planning began in 2005, when members of the UK furry community who had run furmeets decided to organize a convention, and it is maintained by ConFuzzled UK, a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in 2007. The first ConFuzzled was held June 20 to 23, 2008, at the Manchester International Youth Hostel. It moved to the Britannia Country House Hotel in Didsbury in 2010, to the Barceló Hinckley Island Hotel in Leicestershire in 2012, and to the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham from 2014. Its mascot is Brok the Badger, with Dylan the crocodile and Mel the honey badger added in 2023. The convention was held online in 2020 and 2021, and attendance has grown from 136 in 2008 to over 3,200 in 2026. Since 2025 it has had community guests only, rather than guests of honour.
