Welcome all Baby Bats! Don your best gowns, suits, fangs and wings and join us for this teen friendly ball. There will be a DJ, live music, dancing and more. You can also pop downstairs to the market to grab sweet snacks, top up your outfit with a handmade specialty and get your family portrait commissioned by local artists. No adults allowed!

Explore the various gothic worlds with the authors themselves. Our alley lined with authors, booksellers and the best of gothic literature is open for you to puruse, purchase and maybe even get an autograph!

In a series of talks and workshops from academics, authors, creators, celebrities and more, these Voices of the Darkness will bring the interesting, the fascinating and the downright morbid to life. 

From four to two, the gothic is bought to life with a series of gothic cars, metal headed motorbikes, dark classics and all that's inbetween. Marvel at the spectacle and enjoy a photograph with these classics and more.
