By Other Nights. Last checked 2 September 2026.

Torture Garden runs four Halloween events in 2026: Halloween Ball 1 on 30 October and Ball 2 on 31 October at Scala, then Metamorphosis Halloween 3 and 4 on 6 and 7 November at Electrowerkz. The Scala balls are advance ticket only. Prices, dress codes and door policies follow, along with the other UK nights we verified.

Torture Garden Halloween 2026: the four nights

Torture Garden bills its 2026 Halloween run as "Four show stopping events across 2 weekends" on its events page. A Party Earth listing describes the Halloween Ball as Torture Garden's biggest party of the year, and the 2009 edition was billed as "the world's largest fetish Halloween event" with a capacity above 2,500 (Resident Advisor listing). Both descriptions come from search snippets rather than full pages.

Both the Ball 1 and Ball 2 pages carry the same rule: "ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY", with the organiser adding that "no tickets will be available on the door for this event". Doors run 9pm to 6am with last entry at 2:30am, and tickets are sold in four entry slots:

Each ball also offers "50 peak entry tickets at the discount price of £25 (including fees)" for people on low incomes. As of 2 September 2026 both Scala balls were on sale with no sold-out notice. We have not yet captured prices, door times or on-sale status for the two Electrowerkz nights.

For context, 2025 followed the same shape: four Halloween nights, the first two at Scala over Halloween weekend, tickets from £33, advance only with no door sales, and an online consent form required for entry (Scala listing, from search snippets).

The dress code, in Torture Garden's own words

Torture Garden's own line is "TG has a strict and non-negotiable dresscode." The Halloween pages warn against costume-first thinking: "ensure that your outfit is still full fetish fantasy, and not just fancy dress". Halloween fancy dress alone does not qualify. The Ball 1 page goes further, telling readers "If you don't like wearing fetish clothing, then we aren't going to be the right party for you".

ID and entry rules

Torture Garden states that "all customers, regardless of age, must have PHYSICAL (not a photo on your phone), in-date ID to enter the venue." A photo of ID on a phone is not accepted. Buyers must confirm agreement to the TG Club Rules before purchase; whether 2026 also requires the separate online entry consent form reported for 2025 is not stated on the current pages. Inside the event, the Couples Room is restricted to couples only. General eligibility for the ball as a whole, by couple status or gender, is not stated.

Dates and status for both Scala nights sit in our index: Halloween Ball 1 and Halloween Ball 2.

Other London nights around Halloween

Club Antichrist lists no Halloween 2026 event on its events page as of 2 September 2026. Its next night is the Dark Rites Vampire Ball on Friday 18 September at Scala. Its standing door policy runs the other way from Torture Garden's: "Even if advance tickets sell out we always keep 300 tickets on the door. You can reserve tickets to purchase on the door when online ones are sold out." Its dress code is alternative rather than strictly fetish; the club's own test is that anyone who "would look out of place at a normal pub/club/PTA meeting" is on the right track. Entry is 18+, and the venue scans physical photo ID on entry (Club Scan). Digital copies are not accepted.

House of Desire: After Dark runs at Studio 338 on Friday 23 October from 8pm, strictly 18+ (the listing states no ID means no entry). Tickets are via Skiddle and all tickets guarantee entry before 1am only. The dress code: "Stylish, club-ready or Halloween themed. No tracksuits. Entry remains at the discretion of management."

She.world in Stratford, London E15 1SE runs a special date opening on Saturday 31 October, 8pm to 3am. Entry is 20+ with no membership required, and door payment is possible: "Online tickets are available until doors open 8 pm, else you may pay on entry or online." The ticket price is not stated. The club describes itself as for the transgender community and their admirers, and publishes no dress code for the night: "Dress how you want to dress."

Sexy Nerds runs London Halloween on Saturday 31 October from 10pm. UK events are 18+, cash is not accepted at the door, and advance purchase is recommended. The organiser's own line is that guests are encouraged to wear cosplay "but it is absolutely NOT required". Venue and price are not stated.

Dominium Vita runs Carpe Noctem IX, a private members party (play party), on Saturday 31 October, 8pm to 2am. "You will not be allowed entry into a Dominium Vita play event without an updated digital membership card." Membership applications are individual rather than per couple, and single men are admitted. Men's dress is classic cocktail hour, with no T-shirts, jeans or trainers.

The London Alternative Market follows on Sunday 1 November from midday: market only from £8 early bird plus a 50p booking fee, market and afterparty from £15, afterparty only from £20. Over 18s only. There is no dress code, though fetish wear and personal expression are encouraged, and nudity is not permitted.

All of these appear in our kink events in London listings and the full London calendar.

Couples clubs (lifestyle clubs) around the UK

Outside London the nights below are all couples clubs (lifestyle clubs). Pricing splits by party type, and door policies differ club by club. All four nights below are Saturday 31 October. Prices and policies were last verified 1 September 2026 against organiser pages; party-type labels, including TVs, are the organisers' own.

The Attic Experience is minimum age 21, cash only, first come first served with no guest list, and warns single men in its own words: "(No entry till 8pm for single males and entry is not guaranteed)".

Pleasures admits male/female couples and single ladies only; single men are not admitted at this party. The organiser states a minimum age of 25 and a strict smart or smart-casual dress code, and tickets are sold only by the club directly.

Decadance takes the opposite line on booking: "NO FAKE GUEST LISTS, NO NEED TO BOOK, JUST TURN UP". ID is requested under Challenge 25, passports or driving licences only.

WICKED in Swindon caps singles at ten per gender: "SINGLES LIMITED (10) EACH GENDER M/F (Invite only)". Invites are selected at random from messages sent on Fab Swingers from the Sunday before the event. Couples pay £52 including transaction fees, though a Fab Swingers post lists £42. The only published dress rule is no trainers.

A fifth night falls the evening before: Avant Garde in Blackpool FY1 4PW runs a free-entry party on Friday 30 October from 8pm. Non-residents join the guest list by emailing the hotel with a Fab profile name. The dress guidance is the organiser's: "Ladies Dress to impress, the sexier the better: Gents impress the ladies and dress Smart".

Killing Kittens Halloween weekend

Killing Kittens runs three Halloween-window events, all membership gated: "Only KK Members can buy tickets, and have the power to bring one guest with them." Applications are reviewed and approved before membership, tickets must be activated before the event, photo ID must match the ticket photo, and event pages state that men must be invited.

The retreat includes accommodation, workshops, dining and both evening events. No venue is published for any of the three. Our index records the city as Bracknell, which may reflect a registered location rather than where the parties happen.
