🎃TENDER RIOT: THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL🎃
FRIGHTS & DELIGHTS
Sunday 25 October 2026 | 12-5pm | The Common Press, Dalston
Calling all creatures of the night, beautiful monsters and queerdos! 👻🦇
Halloween a.k.a Gay Christmas is here and Tender Riot is getting into the spooky spirit!
Join us at The Common Press for Frights & Delights, a Halloween-themed queer makers' market celebrating the wonderfully weird, the delightfully different and the creativity of our LGBTQIA+ community.
🕸️ ABOUT THE EVENT
Come explore a selection of independent queer artists, makers and creative businesses bringing you art, prints, zines, books, jewellery, stationery, homeware, crafts and more.
Whether you're hunting for something spooky, treating yourself to a little treasure or simply looking for somewhere to spend your Sunday surrounded by other Halloween loving members of our community, there's a place for you here.
Costumes are welcome, but absolutely not required. Come as your most fabulous, frightful or comfortably ordinary self! 🧛🏽♀️✨
And there's more happening throughout the afternoon!
🎨 Get crafty with Badge Cafe!
Our friends at @badgecafe continue their residency at The Common Press with a badge-making session from 2–5pm.
🎶 Press Play from 5pm!
Once the market wraps up, the music continues at The Common Press with Press Play!
Note: Both Badge Cafe and Press Play's activities are separately organised; check their event information for any details about admission
Come for the makers. Stay for the community and spooky vibes! 🖤
