Festival of Friendship 2027: Heroes VS Villains

March 13 – 14th 2027

Oasis Academy Mayfield, Southampton, Hampshire

“There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light!”
— Princess Twilight Sparkle

We all know every great story needs a hero. And of course, every great hero needs a villain! But whether you are here to save Equestria from doom or take over the Crystal Empire, there’s one thing we can all agree on – Friendship is Magic!

FoF is back for 2027 and this year we are celebrating the heroes we love, the villains we secretly adore and everything in between as we take a heroic dive into the world of Heroes Vs Villains.

Like every good sequel, we’re keeping some things familiar and returning to Southampton for another action-packed weekend filled with games, panels, music, cosplay, amazing artwork and plenty of chances to make new friends or catch up with old ones!

Whether you’ve been coming since our very first convention or you’re thinking about joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you!

There’s only one thing you need to work out first…. which side are YOU on?

What to expect…

What’s happening?

All your Festival of Friendship favourites are back! Test your knowledge in our legendary MLP pub quiz, sing your heart out at karaoke, get creative in our cosplay contest and enjoy panels covering everything from fan theories to behind-the-scenes looks at how our convention magic happens!

Plus, don’t miss Musical Bingo – where matching songs replaces numbers and our staff subject you to some truly questionable singing and dancing first thing on a Sunday morning.

Our vendor hall is packed with original art, crafts and that one piece of merch you definitely don’t need but absolutely must have!

Our charity auction is also back, raising money for the wonderful Sophie’s Legacy. Last year we raised over £4,000 and we’d love to beat that in 2027! Find out more about the charity and the amazing work they do here.
