Erotik Szene Markt — Düren

The Erotik Szene Markt comes to the Festhalle Birkesdorf in Düren for the first time on the weekend of Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 September 2027, and the organiser is marking ten years of the ESM and of Dark Shadow Events with it.

Saturday runs 3 pm to 10 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. Traders, private and commercial, spread across the foyer, two halls and an outdoor area, selling clothing, jewellery, toys, accessories, hardware, furniture and art across erotica, fetish, SM and BDSM, fantasy, gothic, steampunk and cosplay. There are indoor and outdoor bars and food, and the organiser sets aside space for dates, group meet-ups and meet-and-greets.

Admission is five euros a head, cash only. Nobody under 18 is admitted. There is parking at the hall and nearby, with marshals directing.
