House of Kink: Dark Desires - a sinful kinky themed dance experience
9pm to 2am | Friday October 30, 2026 | Saint Brigid’s
This Halloween, House of Kink is bringing you our biggest event yet as we take over the entire upstairs church of the historic Saint Brigid’s Centre for the Arts for our most grand and decadent event yet: Dark Desires!
We’re transforming this iconic space into a playground for our adventurous and curious community. Expect a night of seductive music, provocative performances, and delightful opportunities to explore your dark side with guidance from our experienced kink professionals!
Come dressed to tempt! Dark Desires is our Halloween Ball, so bring your most spectacular interpretation of the kinky halloween theme: sinful, gothic, demonic, or delightfully depraved. This is not a traditional costume party — your look must include fetish-forward materials or accessories such as latex, leather, PVC, mesh, corsets, lace, harnesses, collars, chains, and more.
