Sussex's largest fetish gathering returns for its second year — five days of club nights, cabaret, and community across Brighton. Here's what to expect.
What Is Brighton Fetish Week?
Brighton Fetish Week is Sussex's largest dedicated fetish event, bringing together the city's kink and fetish community for a week of club nights, socials, cabaret, and fundraising. Launched in 2024, it quickly established itself as a genuine addition to Brighton's LGBTQ+ calendar, with strong promotion around Brighton Pride and a growing partnership with the Terrence Higgins Trust.
It's a distinct event from Brighton Bear Weekend — where Bear Weekend centres the bear and cub community, Fetish Week is open to the full spectrum of the fetish and kink community, with a broader mix of club nights, socials, and daytime events across the city.
When and Where
Brighton Fetish Week 2026 runs from Thursday 9th to Monday 14th September. For its second edition, organisers have confirmed a more focused programme than the launch year, with an emphasis on accessibility and affordability — expect a good number of free and pay-what-you-can events alongside ticketed club nights, and an invitation to a wider range of venues to improve step-free access across the week.
What to Expect
The 2024 launch set the template: club nights, socials, cabaret performances, and interactive games spread across multiple venues, with a headline venue anchoring the week's biggest nights. Expect a genuine mix — some nights built around dancing and performance, others built around low-key social connection for people who want to talk rather than just dance.
The festival continues its partnership with the Terrence Higgins Trust, raising funds throughout the week via venue collections and dedicated fundraising events — the charity works towards ending new HIV transmissions in the UK by 2030, alongside supporting people already living with HIV.
Who It's For
Brighton Fetish Week is explicitly built to be inclusive regardless of experience level, background, sexuality, or gender identity — organisers have been clear that this is a week for experienced kinksters and complete newcomers alike, not a gatekept scene event.
What to Wear
As with any dedicated fetish week, dress codes vary night to night and venue to venue — some nights run a strict fetish-only door policy, others are considerably more relaxed. Whatever the specific night, a considered piece of jewellery does a lot of work: a collar, a community symbol, or a statement pendant signals who you are and what you're into before you've said a word.
Browse our collar collection for pieces built for a full week of wear, or our fetish earrings for symbol pieces that speak to a specific community within the wider week.

Whether you're heading down for one night or the full five days, FETBOMB's personalised, made-to-order pieces are built by someone who's part of these communities — made to be worn properly, not just for one photo at the door.
