About The Blackheart Market Inverness
The Blackheart Market is bringing the spooky season to the Highlands! We are taking over the massive Inverness Leisure for a day of alternative shopping, horror, and halloween fun.
For too long, the Highlands have been overlooked for major alternative events. We are changing that. This event is set to be a highlight of the What’s On Inverness calendar. Whether you are a local goth, a horror collector, or just looking for a unique family day out, this is the place to be.
What to expect at the Inverness horror market:
- First, Dark Art: Discover talented Highland creators. We showcase horror prints, digital art, and spooky handmade crafts you won’t see in standard galleries.
- Next, Curiosities: Perfect for the strange and unusual. Browse stalls featuring taxidermy, ethically sourced bones, and wet specimens.
- Also, Goth Fashion: Refresh your look. Shop for alternative clothing, patches, enamel pins, and gothic jewellery.
- Finally, Horror Collectibles: From vintage movie memorabilia to spooky homeware, you will find plenty of treasures to take home.
