An over 18's Fantasy Festival
Â
Once known as Fantasy Con Scotland, The Unseelie Gathering is Scotland's adults-only fantasy event.
For one day, Paisley Town Hall is filled with live music, fantasy burlesque, traders, authors, quests, games and more.
Choose one of three rival families and fight for the Thorned Crown by completing quests, uncovering secrets and earning points throughout the day. Bank your points safely... or risk them in the Jester's Lounge for the chance to win even more.
Come in full costume, add a few fantasy touches or simply turn up as yourself. Whether you want to throw yourself into the story or just enjoy a great day out, there's something waiting for you.
