Torture Garden x Charmskool Newbie Social 2026

Torture Garden and the London fashion showroom Charmskool are hosting an informal evening for people who have never been to a Torture Garden party — or to any fetish party — and would like to arrive at their first one a little better prepared. It runs at the Charmskool showroom in east London on Thursday 15 October 2026, with doors at 7pm.

The evening covers the practical side of a first visit. A member of the Torture Garden team talks through what to expect and takes questions, the club's dress-code advice is on hand, and the Charmskool team helps people put an outfit together from the showroom's rails, with pieces for masc, femme and in-between styles across a range of price points. Anyone already holding a ticket for one of Torture Garden's Halloween parties is offered a discount on Charmskool purchases on the night.

The organisers are explicit that this is not a play event: it is a drink, some snacks and a chance to meet other newcomers before the big night. There is no specific dress code, though glam or fetish-inspired looks are welcome. It is 18+.

Tickets were advertised at £9.50 on the ticket page when this was written, with drinks and snacks included — confirmed at purchase. Space is limited by the size of the showroom, so the organiser recommends booking ahead; a timetable is promised closer to the date.
