General Behaviour
- Please keep in mind that we wish to keep behaviour and clothing appropriate for visiting your grandparents :) After 22:00 we will be more lenient. When in doubt, please ask.
- No means no. If someone says no, that means NO. Not ‘but, what if’.
- Respect other people’s property including any snacks they may have brought to share. Ask before touching or trying.
- Please do not leave flyers or other promotional material around and ask FWH Crew for permission and appropriate areas for leaving promotion materials.
- No parties, speakers etc in the bedroom hallways. Bedrooms are for resting, be respectful of others.
- You are responsible for ANY damages caused to other people’s items or castle property.
- Be respectful of others.

- We allow sales during dealers’ den opening times as well as e.g. photography commissions. Please note that you acknowledge any transaction between you and the artist does not involve FWH or Stichting Pack and they are not liable for any issue.
Fursuits and Props
- We love fursuits! We do not love smells! Please ensure your fursuit is clean and convention ready. Make a washing party!
- Please ensure your fursuit and any props/gear meet our rule of being ‘fit to visit your grandparents’ too, after 22:00 we will be more lenient
- Please do not sit around with your fursuit head off. This is a closed party and we are all adults, but headless fursuiters ruin photos and videos. Of course, medical emergencies come first.
- No means no, ask a fursuiter before hugging.
- Please note Dutch law is very strict on weapon look alikes. Want to know for sure if your space pistol is acceptable? Please contact us before the convention!
- Specific rules may apply for gear-specific events in rooms set aside for these meets, please review each event rule in advance.

- As FWH continues to offer alcohol for low prices, we ask you not to bring your own. You may bring a maximum of 1 liter of an alcoholic drink if a) it is special to your area of residence and b) you share it with other attendees.
