Kulmbach will be Aug 9th to 11 2024.

Boxes? I'm bringing an empty suitcase.
This suitcase is for bringing home your take.
Boxes are for transporting your figures during the day(s).

First time to Kulmbach
Book your hotel now, in a month or so their be sold out
Have a idea of figures you want to see / buy and don't hang around as when you go back they will be gone!
Again when something catches your eye, and they will be lots, and you want it get it!   as when you go back a good chance it will be gone.
Yes you will need boxes and also budget your money, give some of it to someone you trust or you will spend hundreds of Euro's on the first day!!


Ed has sorted the BFFS table so put your name down for one hour to help "man" the table on the Friday and Saturday, you'll get to talk to loads of collectors.


BFFS will be organising a restaurant in the evenings so try and join us for at least one meal. 
Through out the days you'll see members and collectors in the bars around the show, go and say hello and again join in.


And then there's the comp, be sure to go and have a look and if you can enter a figure or two


Could go on and on as there is lots to do and see and then you have the plassenburg and the special Mignot sets and show figure to buy, I tell you 3 days is just not enough but most of all you will have a great time!!

I've just received an e-mail inviting the Society to take part in next year's show. It won't be long now. Looking forward to seeing friends old and new.

When in Vienna you might consider a trip to Katzelsdorf: https://www.zfw-katzelsdorf.at/

Also take note that there will be a special exhibition in the Plassenburg for the KILIA centenary


And I think it will be great with hundreds (thousands ?) of figures painted by many very good painters

Robert,
 You will need the three days, easily. Plassenberg museum will take time to go through for your first time. If you have certain vendors at the Bourse you should mark them on the directory to make sure you don't miss them. There is an abundance of vendors so it is easy to miss something you are interested in or see another version of such a figure. Remember there is also a competition of figures both flat and round, so bring something to enter if you are so inclined!
  AND most of all MAKE SURE YOU SIT DOWN WITH SOME OF THE BFFS MEMBERS FOR A BEER OR THREE! AND that is everyday!

Thanks for the info everyone. I will be flying in from the U.S. east coast, but I will probably visit Fussen (Neuschwanstein) and Vienna (museums) prior to arriving in Kulmbach. I think I will stay the full three days. I've selected a hotel which is in sight of the event. I am very much looking forward to this trip. I have never been to Germany, and I have never had the opportunity to interact face to face with anyone in the flat figure world. Boxes? I'm bringing an empty suitcase.

Concerning How long ?
please keep in mind, that overlooking the figure börse is the Plassenburg
with a big figures museum and an interesting collection of 18th century Prussian equipment.

Hi Robert,  firstly book hotel early in the new year, also how are you getting there?  If by car then you can stay slightly out of Kulmbach but if by train ( station is very nearby ) then I suggest you stay local. I would stay at least 2 days if not the 3- there is a lot of traders and a lot to buy😃. There are also many good restaurants and bars. The BFFS have a stand so do come and make yourself known. Where are you from?

I am planning to attend the Kulmbach flat figure event next year. I have never been before (or to Germany for that matter). Does anyone have any advice?
Do you need all three days to see and do everything? Thank you, Robert
