A Shopping Experience Like No Other
Think of the Blackheart Market as the darker, edgier sibling to our usual comic cons. We’ve traded superheroes for the strange and unusual, focusing on all things horror, goth, and alternative.
You won’t find mass-produced trinkets here. Instead, you’ll discover a curated collection of spooky treasures—from haunting original artwork and handcrafted jewellery to ethically sourced taxidermy and curiosities. Whether you’re hunting for metal band merch, retro horror toys, or that one-of-a-kind gift for someone who loves the macabre, we’ve got you covered.
Support Your Local Creators
When you shop at Blackheart, you aren’t just buying “stuff”—you’re supporting independent artists who pour their hearts and souls into their craft.
We take pride in our community. You’ll get the chance to meet the creators behind the stalls and hear the stories behind their work. Don’t let the skulls and shadows fool you; the atmosphere is incredibly friendly, inclusive, and welcoming to everyone.

The Venue
We’re taking over the Academy of Sport and Wellbeing (ASW) at the UHI Perth campus. It’s a fantastic, modern space that’s bright, airy, and—most importantly—completely indoors, so you can browse in comfort regardless of the Scottish weather.
Accessibility is a priority for us:
- Ground Floor Access: The entire hall is on one level, making it easy to navigate for wheelchair users and those with prams.
- Space to Breathe: The venue is spacious enough to ensure you aren’t cramped while you explore.
