2025
We did it!
2024 was a smash hit, so we thought "Let's do it again, and make it even more Pawsome in 2025!" Pawsome is UK furry convention in the UK with a US-Inspired costume code of conduct and a broad expression of your inner animal. Pawsome aims to allow the UK and worldwide anthro community who express their inner animal no matter what costume, material, community, etc. You will all find a home here at Pawsome.**
