Deviants Market: A Queer Kink Market

If you’re already planning your autumn calendar, make sure to pencil in Sunday, October 11, 2026. That’s the date the Deviants Market returns to the city, setting up shop in the familiar surroundings of the Komedia Basement in Brighton. This event is known as a dedicated queer kink market, running from 10:30 AM until 4 PM. It offers a unique space for the local LGBTQIA+ and fetish community to gather, shop, and connect. While the specific theme for October is sometimes billed as 'Night Of The Living Deviants', the core concept remains the same: a vibrant marketplace focused on alternative expression.

What makes this market stand out is the sheer variety of small, independent businesses it brings together. You can expect to find over 30 queer creators selling everything from erotic art and specialized fetish gear to unique, themed items for the home. It’s designed to be a welcoming environment where people can support independent artists and connect with like-minded individuals. Crucially, the market also has a strong charitable focus. While you browse, you’ll be helping to raise money for various trans* organizations and fundraisers, often through raffles where you can win prizes for a £5 entry.

Getting into the market is straightforward; the event is NON TICKETED. They operate on a 'Pay What You Can' system, suggesting a small donation of £1 upon entry, which helps cover operational costs and contribute directly to the fundraising efforts. Since the content is adult-focused, entry is strictly for ages 18 and over. For those needing specific access, the Komedia Basement, located at 44-47 Gardner Street, is equipped with elevator access to the basement level and accessible restrooms. If October feels too far away, it’s worth noting that Deviants Market is a regular fixture at Komedia throughout 2026, with other dates scheduled for February 15, June 14, July 19, and November 29, all starting at 10:30 am.
