31st March - April 2nd
Charity support!
We recently asked you all via our social media which charity you would like to support. Many were thrown in to the mix, but after a week long poll we have a winner!
KokoroCon 2023 will be supporting The Animal House Rescue
A bit about animal house rescue taken from their website
"We are a small Birmingham based rescue, which takes in abandoned animals. All the animas that come into our care have a full veterinary MOT before going to new homes.
We do not use kennels, instead we have foster homes which enables us to see the animals behaviour in a home environment then any problems can be dealt with and we can re-home them to the most appropriate place. "
The organisation is ran by and supported entirely by volunteers who help with vet runs, picking up food and fostering the animals .
We hope to raise as much money as possible for the rescue so they can continue to do what they do and save and protect our furry friends!
We are very pleased to be supporting a smaller charity next year, and we know that all the contributions will go a very long way.
Please take a look at the rescues Facebook page and website for more details

Not long to go!
KokoroCon is fast approaching and we can't wait to see everyone again!
We will be posting up our final timetable here soon so keep an eye out for that!
In other news, the refund deadline is the 28th Feb, so unfortunately we will be unable to provide a refund past this date.
On the other hand, if you would like to transfer your ticket to someone else, you have until the 15th March
If you have any concerns or worries please do not hesitate to get in touch with us!
Dealers & Artists
Calling all creatives in our community and beyond!! Mark your calendars as KokoroCon 2 will be opening artist and dealer table applications on July 15th!
If you make anything from prints to lanyards, armour to ears, we want to hear from you.
The boring bit:
Artist tables are 4ft by 2.5ft and will be priced at £88.00
Dealers tables are 6ft by 2.5ft and will be priced at £121.00
All tables include one dealers ticket with an add-on option of an assistant ticket at a 35% discount. If you have already purchased your convention ticket, do not worry, we can convert you to a dealers ticket and deduct the standard ticket price from your invoice.
Applications will be open until July 29th, there will then be a selection process after which all successful applicants will be notified on August 26th.
Successful applicants will have until September 15th to arrange payment, after this their space will be passed on to another applicant.
