Important Info for the LFM Summer Weekender!
🎟️ Free Entry Tickets Required
As with all our regular meets a free ticket is now required for Saturday entry.
🚤 Already Going to the Boat Party?
If you’ve bought a Boat Party ticket for Friday, the wristband you receive will also give you entry to Saturday. You do not need an additional Saturday ticket.
⚠️If you can’t make Saturday, you must let us know , so we can give your space to someone else.
👜 Fursuit Bag Policy
We have limited space for fursuit bags on both days due to capacity constraints. If you plan to bring a fursuit bag, make sure to get a free fursuit bag ticket with your ticket. One fursuit bag ticket entitles you to bring one fursuit bag only.
If you have a Friday fursuit bag ticket, this covers you for Saturday as well.
If you turn up with a fursuit bag and no fursuit ticket, please don't be surprised if you are rejected entry to the venue!
🎫 General Tickets
A free Saturday ticket and Saturday fursuit bag tickets will be released for those not attending the boat party. These will be online 10th July 8PM BST.

I've never been to a LondonFurs meet before, what do I need to know?
You can find all the information about our venue, a fursuiting guide, and our rules here: Our events
Can I bring my fursuit to the boat party?
You can! However, due to extremely limited space on the boat, you will need to purchase a fursuit bag ticket.
Be aware that bag tickets are limited and quickly sell out.
If you bring a bag containing a fursuit without a ticket, you are likely to be denied entry to the boat.
Aboard, there is very limited changing space, facilities, and privacy. This may not be ideal for every suiter.
