The Wee Con 2025
What is The Wee Con?
The Wee Con is a fan-run Our Flag Means Death convention, taking place in Edinburgh, UK from 31 October - 2 November 2025.
The con name came from the fact that our first event is in Edinburgh, hometown of none other than our beloved Buttons, played by Ewen Bremner. It only felt right to have a wee bit of Scots in our event name. Also because it’s going to be a relatively wee (small) con. Always love a wee Con.
Our Kickstarter is now live! We have hit our initial funding goal so far to cover the cost of the venue and all essentials to get things running, but we're aiming for the stars! Literally in this case!
We have some wonderful plans in the works, so we will keep you posted as they develop. For now, check back for updates!
It’s been a rough year for the Our Flag Means Death fandom – and in the world as a whole – but we have taken comfort in the words of our cast and crew. They reminded us loudly and proudly that we are a community and that we’re stronger together now more than ever. Based on this message, we wanted to create a con for us, by us, where we can be with our friends and our community and stick together.
The Wee Con is the first of what we hope will be many events under the Our Flag Means Community banner. Maybe, one day, we can strive to have little ones popping up all over the place to give people everywhere a chance to meet and spend time together.
At its heart, OFMC is a non-profit event created to bring us together. At the end of the weekend, after all expenses are covered and dealt with, all residual money will be donated to a charity or charities selected by our attendees.
Why are we doing this?
We have so much exciting stuff lined up for you:
Group and individual panels
Smaller workshops with crafters and artists and writers
A Very Piratical Quiz
A drag show – because how could we have an OFMD event without one?
Cosplay and talent showcase
Calypso’s Floating Market, for lovers of beauty to buy crafty things from talented people
The Chill-Art area, for people to hang out and make arts and crafts together
And, if we hit all of our stretch goals, we even hope to have a special guest lined up!
