Ōzokucon 2026

Ōzokucon 2026 brings anime fandom to the Kent coast with a vibrant, community-focused weekend in Folkestone. The harbour-side setting gives the event a unique atmosphere compared to traditional hotel or convention center venues.

Expect cosplay showcases, local artist displays, themed vendors, gaming setups, and fan-led panels throughout both days. The scale makes it approachable while still delivering structured contests and stage programming.

If you’re looking for a UK anime convention that feels creative, coastal, and community-first, May 23–24, 2026 in Folkestone is the locked-in weekend.
