Libidex is delighted to be a sponsor of Brighton Fetish Week, which starts this Saturday, August 24, and crams more than 30 events into an eight-day run finishing on Saturday 31. Promising to be the area’s largest fetish gathering, Brighton Fetish Week is an inclusive event, to which everyone is welcome regardless of experience level, background, sexuality or gender identity. Whether you're a seasoned kinkster or new to fetish, say the organisers, this festival offers a supportive environment where safety and fun are top priorities.
The ethos of the event fits perfectly with Libidex’s commitment to catering for all types of latex enthusiast. Complementing its well-earned reputation as a leader in women’s latex fashion and fantasy wear— its new Power & Pose Collection of women’s latex power dressing styles having launched just last week — the label is also highly rated for its substantial choice of men’s latex, from high-style fashion items to the large Hard and Heavy range of specialist garments designed for serious fetish play and heavy rubber fans.
The Brighton Fetish Week line-up includes club nights, socials, cabaret performances and interactive games, ensuring that attendees can enjoy a variety of unique and engaging activities. Notable performers include Cherry Bomb, Sabrina Jade and Letitia Delish. Most of these events are free, with wheelchair accessible venues helping to make Brighton Fetish Week accessible to all.

Says festival director Ethan Rickards: “We are thrilled to bring Brighton Fetish Week to life after working on the idea for two years. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming and social space where people can openly discuss their fetishes and kinks. Brighton has always been known for its open-minded community, and we believe that the community needs more opportunities to connect.”
The eight-day programme includes club nights where you can party hard —such as DILF, Den’s Sportswear Club Night and events at The Bulldog, featuring top DJs and performers. There are socials where you can meet and connect with like-minded individuals in a safe venue, where fetishwear is encouraged. The festival’s cabaret nights offer the chance to enjoy a huge range of talent from curated artists, celebrating their identity onstage, while games nights let you get to know other fetish enthusiasts at quizzes and bingo.
