What is 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. Learn more about the event by browsing the pages of this website and reading our introduction.

We expect to welcome special guests AJ Bridel and Ashleigh Ball in-person at UK PonyCon 2024. You’ll hear from them in panels and meet them during meet-and-greet sessions (additional charge applies).

The stalls make UK PonyCon a dream for collectors and fans alike!

You'll also find a full events schedule featuring our special guests and members of the community, plus a Saturday evening music concert.

Who goes?

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.
