Leeds Festival of Gothica REPOST:

Well, well, well, we have been blown away by the sheer volume of registrations of interest for new traders for the first market of 2025 on Saturday 15th of March

🕸 70% of October traders who applied have already secured their place. As requested by the community we have opened up the remaining 30% to registrations of interest. These are live (link in bio) for new traders or traders who vended before October. Both these measures are to keep the market evolving and equitable.

🕸 We have had hundreds of applications for a very small number of places. It is exceptionally humbling as LFOG’s first event in 2017 had 12 vendors! Some of which are still with us 🖤

🕸 As many of you will know LFOG is coordinated by volunteers. We have unfortunately being blighted by winter bugs (and life) and are extending the period to discuss successful applicants. We apologise for the delay, we were supposed to be letting people know on Friday 20th December. We want to give ample time and energy as it is always a lively debate between the team.

🕸If you have applied and are successful you will now receive an email from our event partners by dusk on MONDAY JANUARY 6th.

🕸 There is however a little Yule gift that we will soon be sharing which is exceptionally exciting. This will potentially allow for more opportunity to vend with us in March. Watch this space!!!!!

We want to take this opportunity to wish everyone seasons greetings and a huge thanks for supporting Leeds Festival of Gothica

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR Leeds Festival of Gothica Alternative Market on Sat 15 March 2025

https://form.jotform.com/243334142391349

We want new blood for our famous Leeds Alternative Market on Saturday 15th of March which is partnered with our friends

We have emailed the 70% of October traders who have been successful for March. It was so tough as almost everyone reapplied. We are encouraging those who didn’t get offered a space to reapply in July and October when we release the links. We will endeavour to ensure our loyal traders all get an opportunity in 2025 but are rotating to make it equitable.

We have 30% of our pitches saved for new traders or vendors who have have traded before October 2024

🕸Are you a darkly delicious maker, creator or do you provide an alternative service?

🕸 We want you to register interest!

You must have current alternative, diverse and unique stock or a service. Socials that are engaging and relevant to your brand are preferable. We also like to see pictures of your stall on your feed and that you are interactive with your audience. You do not need a big following AND socials are not essential if your stock and stall is incredible!
Traders also require relevant insurances and certificates (depending on what you are selling)

The registration link is now live. Please check our stories and bio

We will be emailing the successful applicants on Friday 20th December at 6pm with a booking form and payment links. Please note we will not use third parties. If in doubt please DM us to check as scammers are operating. Due to anticipated demand we only contact selected traders. If you however do want feedback please message us.

Good Luck Darklings!

🖤🙏🖤

Today is both Sophie’s and Sylvia’s birthday. We remember them both.

For Sophie’s first heavenly birthday, Sylvia had a gig, where our iconic black Sophie wristbands made their first appearance. Instead of having a minute’s silence, it was decided it was far more fitting for the gig audience to show their respect and love by ‘making a noise’. Now every year we reach out to the community and ask you, to join us, and Make a Noise for Sophie!

Make a Noise is all about standing together and celebrating difference; whoever you are, alternative or ally, we want to respect where it all began and remember Sophie and shout loud and proud about our shared values of tolerance and respect.

This past weekend, we posted a range of fundraisers and supporters who are making a noise this November for Sophie. Thank you to everyone for everything you do to show your support - we couldn't achieve anything without you. Our final post will be at midnight; ‘Illusion’ by VNV Nation, always a special song to Sylvia as it was dedicated to Sophie on the night that she died.

Let’s remember Sophie, celebrate difference and above all – love being who you are – and don’t go quietly!

Happy Birthday Sophie and Sylvia.
