"Sell out warning! Come curious and leave your inhibitions at the door! The leading queer, sex-positive festival returns, transforming Lakota into a playground of earthly pleasures. By day, get stuck into educational talks, hands-on workshops and breathtaking performances. By night, Big Wett serves you steamy slut-pop bangers followed by Darkwah’s sensual house + plenty more pumping club heaters."

A event held at Lakota on Sunday 24th May. The event starts at 13:00.
Celebrating sexual liberation, education, and creative expression. A space where sex positivity, pleasure activism, and community empowerment come together in a vivid showcase of artistry, knowledge, and unapologetic self expression.
We take over Lakota and Coroner’s Court and turn it into something alive. Entry is via Coroner’s Court, and from there the space unfolds. Conversations spill out of one room, workshops run throughout, performances catch you off guard, and music threads through the walls.
What this is
This is a space for curiosity. For learning something new about yourself, your body, your boundaries, your desires.
The daytime programme features talks, workshops, art, and performance covering pleasure politics, body confidence, and kink literacy. The full programme will be released in advance so you can plan your day. Multiple sessions run throughout, and due to capacity limits, you may not be able to attend everything. Arriving early is recommended. Seating is limited and first come, first served.
This is not a sex party. It is a sexy, educational and creative space. That distinction matters. Consent is expected and understood, and the environment is designed so people can engage without unwanted advances.
Food and drink
Food trucks will be on site serving hot food, alongside options for hot and cold drinks. There will also be a fully stocked bar available throughout the event.
Dress code
There is no dress code. Just to clarify, “no dress code” doesn’t mean full nudity is permitted. Ourgasm is rooted in consent and shared comfort. Please wear clothing appropriate for a public social environment and be mindful that not everyone wants to encounter full nudity in these spaces.
Afterparty
The afterparty is limited capacity and ticketed separately. You can attend the daytime event, the afterparty, or both, but each requires its own ticket.
The afterparty is not a sex party. There is no dress code or membership requirement.
Entry is subject to vibe checks on the door. A full wellbeing team is present throughout the event. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone whose behaviour or presence does not align with the space, without refund.
Ourgasm centres queer community in all its forms. Allies are welcome when they come with awareness, respect, and a willingness to step into a space that is not built around them.
