Start Your Goth Day Out Kirkcaldy at Blackheart Market Your journey begins at the Mercat Shopping Centre. Interestingly, this isn’t your typical craft fair. Instead, it is a sanctuary for the strange and unusual. It has now become a staple of the Scottish alternative scene. Refuel: Coffee and Culture on Kirkcaldy High Street After you browse the market stalls, you will need to refuel. Fortunately, Kirkcaldy High Street offers many spots that welcome the alternative crowd. Therefore, these locations are perfect for a mid-day break during your Goth Day Out Kirkcaldy. Explore Kirkcaldy’s Spooky History & Local Talent Kirkcaldy has a long, storied history. Naturally, where you find history, you often find ghosts.

The Kinswood Hotel: To wrap things up, if you stay late, visit the Kinswood. It is famous for its “Lady in White” ghost. Clearly, it is a great piece of local haunted history to see before you head home. The Esplanade: Specifically, few things beat a walk along the waterfront as the sun goes down. If the Fife weather stays grey and misty, the Esplanade offers a dramatic backdrop for photos.

Blackheart Market Falkirk: Howgate Shopping Centre 2026

Blackheart Market: Falkirk   Blackheart Market is bringing the dark side back to the heart of Falkirk! We are beyond excited to return to the Howgate Shopping Centre on Saturday 16th May for another massive alternative takeover. To put it simply, if you have a passion for horror, goth culture, or hunting for unique curiosities, this is the one date for your diary you won’t want to miss. The Details   Date: Saturday 16th May Time: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Venue: Howgate Shopping Centre, High St, Falkirk FK1 1HG Entry: FREE ENTRY Falkirk’s Ultimate Alternative Experience   To start with, this market is designed to be a sanctuary for the alternative community. In the past, we realized that mainstream high street shops don’t always cater to horror and goth fans, which is why we created the Blackheart Market. Because of this, we have gathered the very best independent traders from across Scotland to fill the mall with things you won’t find anywhere else. What’s more, the atmosphere in the Howgate is always electric during our takeovers. This means you can browse through hundreds of unique items ranging from dark art and handmade jewelry to ethical taxidermy and macabre collectibles. Usually, our Falkirk events attract a fantastic crowd of like-minded fans, making it a great place to meet fellow goths and metalheads. What to Expect at the Blackheart Market   Aside from the shopping, the Blackheart Market is a celebration of all things unusual. Because entry is completely free, it is the perfect low-cost day out for anyone looking for something a bit different. Moreover, the Howgate Shopping Centre is right in the town centre, so you are surrounded by great local cafes and amenities to make a full day of it. Notably, our trader spots tend to fill up fast because the Falkirk community is so supportive of the alternative scene. Therefore, we recommend coming down early to get the first pick of the one-off items on display. Finally, keep a close eye on our social media for trader reveals and updates as we get closer to May.
