We attended warp 1 and warp 2 - both were excellent star trek conventions with a good selection of stars from across the 90s and modern trek. As a hotel con, it is a bit different to a comic con s... See more

Starfury Ascension

I went to a convention organised by this organiser last weekend and overall I had a very good time! The organisation of the event was extremely well managed, as was the selection of guests and the opportunities to engage with them. The parties were fun after hours events, although I do think they would have benefited from having themes like at other Starfury events. The value for money was quite good although I did feel that the lack of merchandise did take away a little from the experience. I understand that trade isn't the focus of Starfury Conventions but perhaps giving attendees the opportunity to browse collectibles or even to allow artists to trade at the cons might be a nice addition. It would also be nice to perhaps have some workshops (maybe ones run by volunteer attendees) that tie into the show for people to attend during their downtime.

One of the things I would say that as efficient and dedicated as the staff were at this con, I think some were a bit militaristic in their enforcement of the rules. I understand why phones are not allowed near the tables however, I did feel that shouting at people and demanding that they delete things (even when they might have just been looking at something on their phones) was a bit intense. Even then I think there is a way to approach someone who is breaking a rule that is firm but respectful. This is something I feel some of the staff need to work on.

Ascension

I attended Ascension which was the first Stargate convention Starfury has put on. It was amazing to meet all the guests especially RDA!! It was very well organised in comparison to other conventions I've been to. I think my only negative would be the lack of vendor or merch stalls to browse or buy from in between photo's and autographs. It was okay for me & my partner as we hadn't met any of the actors attending but there was still a couple hours in between to try to fill.

2007 - 2025 and more to come.

Been doing cons since 2007. Every Starfury I've been to has been awesome. Seeing everyone's smiling faces after the photos is priceless to see this day and age. Just having fun is what is all about. Forget all about the outside world for a few days is what we need.

First real convention I’ve been to

First real convention I’ve been to, and it was pretty well organised. All the stewards that were present were lovely and approachable if I had any questions, and the overall experience was genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. (Ascension)

Starfury Conventions

I had never heard of Starfury until 2017 and have been going ever since then, the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and for the first time I volunteered this year at Crossroads 10 and I have to say it was a fabulous experience and just shows how much work Sean Harry and his staff put into every event not just this one. Best and the only convention I will ever go to.

OUTSTANDING AS PER!!

OUTSTANDING!
I consider myself to be a convention veteran now as i have attended cons since *the company that shall not be named* A12 - A18 then when that company went to the fritz in comes mr sean harry with *Crossroads* phew says we - this sounds brilliant. Since then we have been to every Crossroads! The whole weekend from start to finish is amazin! The staff especially access team are amazin and wonderfull i cannot express how helpful they are. When we attended crossroads 8 we got a call late sat stating my mum had taken a turn for the worst so sun morning myself an my daughte rflew round for autos an to pick up photos. My friend who was stewarding went into superhero mode an collected said photos for me and we rushed home to falkirk. We lost mum a week later. The crossroads family are just that...a family...2 of our friends even came to mums funeral which was really appreciated. Fast forward to crossroads 10 - we wer taking our elderly aunt on the yearly jaunt to Nairn and it fell on Crossroads dates - sooo unhappy. Alas our aunt got the dread news that she had *C* and fell ill 4 weeks before crossroads and insisted we go - there was about 18 tix left and i hadnt even applied for access!! 😱😳 panic mode - got the tickets an emailed helen and everything sorted with 2 weeks to go - Bloody Brilliant as Ron weasley would say. Was a very emotional event as we should have been on holiday with our aunt but e erythi g as per usual went to plan - we met up with all our friends and really enjoyed the event....even mishas secret gathering hahahaha which was hillarious! Panels photos all were amazin....missed autos this time as we were out for dinner so will do that next Apr 👍🤩

Brilliant Intimate Conventions

Brilliant. We have been to 6 conventions so far and have tickets to Enchanted 6, Crossroads 11, then Highlanders 9.
Im disabled and couldn't manage a huge convention, but these are perfect.
The way they set up the convention over the main 2 days means you will miss nothing. The panels are brilliant and the next day they are reversed in order so you can see them all and get your autographs too. With photos in the morning. It's definitely worth going Gold if you can for the Friday night meet & greet, plus extra autographs included as even the standard ticket has some autographs free.

Starfury Crossroads

Starfury Crossroads was my first ever convention and I have been to each one ever since.
Very well organised! Staff always on hand to help guise you or if you have any questions.
Most Stewards are very knowledgeable (obviously have experience) I have also been a steward and tried to be as helpful as possible.
They are strict with the rules of no video or audio recording (which is in the contract for all guests) to help them feel more relaxed and open to share. Take all the pics you want!
The panels are good and mostly good questions are asked.
The prices for what you get are a bargain. There is no pressure to buy extras and recently they have added a small merch stall.
The Supernatural fan base has always been welcoming and kind in my experience.
Sean is great at replying in the Facebook groups considering his schedule and running his business.

Alot of queueing, but that how it goes with conventions.
The parties are fun and the cos plays look amazing!

Excellent events!

Starfury always put on an excellent event! Whether you're a first timer or an old hand, you will be welcomed warmly, and will be guaranteed a great time. Great pricing (one of the cheapest conventions around), fantastic guests, excellently organised, and plenty of staff/stewards to help you out.

* The only issue you will have is that they become addictive! 😂

Amazing convention experience.

Crossroads was an amazing convention to attend on my own. I felt well informed and supported by the organisers and stewards and everything just ran smoothly. Thankfully previous attendees also kept us newbies up to speed on all the important details.

Crossroads 10 convention

I have just attended Crossroads 10, this being my 12th convention with Starfury, and I cannot praise them highly enough! They always have amazing guests and well organised photo and auto queues, even when it's very busy. The staff and volunteers are always friendly and helpful, even when under pressure. I will continue to attend and enjoy Starfury Conventions and always recommend them to people who haven't experienced them before.

5 Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve gone to 4 Starfury conventions so far, my most recent one was Crossroads 10 and I have to say it’s an absolute amazing experience. I always have an brilliant time! The owner of the events Sean, is very professional and always gets the most amazing guests for the fans.
Conventions can be a very busy affair with getting all your photos and autographs but Sean and his team run a smooth ship. You have nothing to worry about, you will get to everything you have planned.
I would totally recommend Starfury to anyone wanting to get bitten by the convention bug. You will have an excellent time meeting your favourite actors and also making new friends too. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Fantastic con to go to!

I have been going to Starfury events since 2023. Well organised, reasonable prices. Easy to tickets. I have also had the pleasure of Stewarding 3 times and it's been an amazing experience. Staff are friendly and so is the organiser. Great guest lineups every time!

Fab event

The staff are fantastic, especially the ones who run the autographs.

I go to a lot of conventions, and Starfury really stands out. They are very well organised and provide a more personal touch.
