About The Blackheart Market Perth
The Blackheart Market Perth is the city’s premier destination for the darkly inclined and the curious. Following the success of our events in Glasgow and Dundee, we are bringing the shadows to the UHI Perth Academy for a massive takeover of alternative crafts, horror, and gothic culture.
As one of the standout Perth events, this market is a top choice for those searching for What’s On Perth or unique things to do in Perthshire. While many niche conventions charge for entry, the Blackheart Market is completely free. This makes it the best budget-friendly day out for goths, horror fans, and collectors of the macabre.
Why it is perfect for the alternative community:
- First, The Market: We fill the academy with over 50 independent traders. Browse taxidermy, gothic jewellery, horror collectables, and dark art.
- Next, Unique Finds: Discover occult supplies, handmade candles, and alternative fashion that you won’t find on the high street.
- Also, The Atmosphere: Meet like-minded people in a safe, inclusive environment. Cosplay and alternative attire are highly encouraged!
- Finally, Family Friendly: While some items are spooky, the event is open to all ages, making it a great day out for families with a love for the unusual.
Entry & Optional Support
The Blackheart Market is for everyone. General entry is Completely Free. You do not need a ticket to enter—just turn up and enjoy the eerie atmosphere!
However, organizing these specialized markets involves significant costs. To ensure we can keep coming back to Perth, we offer Optional Donation Tickets:
- Standard Entry: £0 (Free)
- Supporter Donation: Pay what you can. Your contributions help cover venue hire, staffing, and support for the independent artists who make this event possible.
