What is the Dealers’ Den?

The Dealers' Den is the convention’s marketplace, that brings together over 150 of the furry fandom’s most talented artists and creators from Europe and beyond! This is the place where you can explore a diverse range of offerings, from furry merchandise and exclusive prints to custom commissions and masterfully crafted fursuits and much more. Whether you're an experienced Eurofurence Attendee or a curious adventurer stepping in for the first time, treasures await at every corner.

But that's not all! The Dealers’ Den is also the home of the Eurofurence Convention Store, where you can grab the official convention T-shirt and other lovely souvenirs from this year and years past. It's your one-stop shop for all things Eurofurence, combining the talents and creativity of the community with the spirit of the convention.

The Dealers’ Den is a lively and bustling area committed to be an accessible environment for all our attendees. We provide priority access for people who use wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aids such as walkers, crutches, canes, and other similar devices.

However, the Dealers' Den can sometimes result in crowded conditions, elevated noise levels, and various scents. This can cause discomfort, particularly for neurodivergent individuals who may be sensitive to sensory stimuli.

If you are in need of assistance or find the ambiance overwhelming, you have multiple options:

For those seeking a calmer shopping experience, we have the following tips:

• If you have registered as a Sponsor or Super Sponsor, take advantage of the early access hours exclusive to Sponsors and Super Sponsors.
• Consider visiting the Dealers’ Den during the last hour of the opening times listed on this page. We've observed that the Dealers' Den tends to be less crowded during the last opening hour of the day.
