Introduction to UK PonyCon

UK PonyCon is a fan created and run convention celebrating all incarnations of My Little Pony since they were first released in 1982 right through to the Friendship is Magic series, the 2017 film and beyond. We host a range of events suitable for all generations of fans.

Whilst the convention is aimed at adult fans of the franchise from the early generation fans through to “Bronies” and “Pegasisters”, we welcome fans and collectors of all ages from all over the world

What happens at the event?

We have plenty of activities, panels and workshops. There’s a large market of stalls selling hard-to-find ponies and unique hand-crafted items. Plan ahead and enter a contest, be that cosplay, art or custom ponies. We also raise money for the Riding for the Disabled Association through a tombola and charity auction.

Where do I buy tickets?

Tickets are only available to buy online and are not available on the door. Information about tickets can be found on the tickets page of this website. We have adult, child and family tickets, and you can choose from single day tickets and weekend tickets.

For the big fans, we also have a limited quantity of premium sponsorship tickets, which add loads of special extras to make your weekend even more special and help provide the convention with funds to operate for everyone.
