About this Event
Blackheart Market Livingston: The Ultimate West Lothian Goth & Horror Guide
The Blackheart Market Livingston alternative artisan takeover is officially making its massive weekend debut. Specifically, the double-date event takes place on Saturday 24th October and Sunday 25th October 2026. We are taking over a prime space inside the Livingston Designer Outlet. Doors open from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. This is the ultimate autumn spooky season gathering. To put it simply, if you love horror, alternative fashion, or unique curiosities, you cannot miss this historic debut date.
West Lothian Gets Dark: Experience the Blackheart Market Livingston
For one massive weekend only, the premier shopping destination will become a true sanctuary. It will welcome all fans of the dark and unusual. We know that mainstream high street shops rarely cater to the alternative community. Consequently, we are finally bringing this market to a major outlet hub. The Blackheart Market Livingston event brings the very best independent traders together under one roof. Therefore, it is the premier meeting ground for the local goth scotland subculture. It also connects local alternative fans with creators from all across the country.
A True Gothic Retail Event and Slasher Horror Marketplace
The atmosphere inside our sprawling new retail venue is going to be absolutely electric. In the past, local fans had to travel out of the area for a crowded city centre gothic retail event. Alternatively, they had to pay for an expensive horror convention floor showcase. However, you can now experience a premier, curated alternative evening shopping bazaar layout right on your doorstep.
First, step out of the mainstream. Next, browse through dozens of independent, niche subculture and occult small businesses. Our stalls are packed with items you won’t find anywhere else on the high street. Furthermore, our specialized dealers have you covered if you are hunting for custom collectibles from your favourite horror icons. Independent creators will offer custom merchandise featuring:
Slasher Classics: You can hunt down unique handmade prints, apparel, and horror pins. These feature the iconic Ghostface mask, vintage Chucky dolls, classic Michael Myers figures, and old-school Freddy Krueger collectables.
Modern Cult Favourites: Explore the dark, gory side of the hobby with custom art prints and clothing. These are dedicated to Art the Clown and the brutal world of Terrifier, alongside unsettling designs inspired by Pennywise the clown.
Alternative Apparel & Gothic Fashion: Upgrade your alternative wardrobe with custom jewellery, heavy alternative clothing, and alternative subculture accessories.
Strange Curiosities & Spooky Décor: Explore handmade horror-themed candles, crystal crafts, gothic home accents, and ethical taxidermy.
In addition, our trading events serve as a central hub for the horror scotland community and the goth glasgow scene. As a result, the show offers an unforgettable space to network with fellow alternative souls right in the heart of Livingston.
A Completely Free Day Out at Blackheart Market Livingston
Aside from the incredible shopping, our event is a full-scale celebration of all things unusual. Because entry to the debut Blackheart Market Livingston weekend is completely free, it makes for the perfect low-cost weekend day out. We give you full access to our massive dark marketplace. Best of all, you do not have to pay a single penny at the door.
Moreover, the venue sits right in the bustling heart of the Almondvale retail district. Therefore, you are surrounded by great local restaurants, a massive cinema, and ample parking. Consequently, you can easily turn your shopping trip into a full day out with your coven.
Notably, because this is our first-ever time heading to Livingston, our vendor spots are highly sought after. In fact, they always fill up months in advance. We highly recommend coming down early to grab the best pick of the unique, one-off items on display. We look forward to seeing you all at Blackheart Market Livingston this October… if you dare!
