Lakota and Coroner’s Court, Bristol

Doors open midday - Queues expected.

Festival 1pm to 7pm - Afters 8pm to midnight

Ourgasm is a queer focused, queer led and sex worker led day festival taking over the full sprawl of Lakota and Coroner’s Court. We enter through Coroner’s Court and from there the whole playground opens up. Talks in one corner, workshops in another, performances, installations, market stalls, music humming through brick and bass bins. It is a full site experience. Arrive early. Stay curious. Pace yourself.

The daytime festival runs from 1pm to 7pm and it is packed. We are talking back to back programming. Bold conversations. Practical workshops. Pleasure politics. Body confidence. Kink literacy. Art and boundary pushing performance. The full programme drops a few weeks before the event so you can map your route through the day. If you care about seeing it all, be there on time.

There is no dress code. Wear what makes you feel like yourself. This is not a sex party. It is a sexy event. There is a difference. No dark corners engineered for hooking up. No wandering hands without invitation. No lurky energy. This is not a hookup site in real life. It is a consent driven, community focused festival space built on respect, conversation and expression.

At 7pm we close the daytime festival with a mega set from Big Wett, They close the festival and ignite the afterparty in one seamless moment. At 7:30 we transition fully into Coroner’s Court for the afters. The afterparty runs until midnight with very limited capacity. Expect sweat, bass, release.

THE AFTERPARTY IS TICKETED SEPARATELY. DAY FESTIVAL ENTRY DOES NOT GET YOU ACCESS.
Day and night tickets are separate. Read that again. Day and night tickets are separate. You can join us for the festival only, the afterparty only, or both, but each requires its own ticket. Afterparty doors close at 9pm sharp. No late drifting in.

We operate with vibe checks at the door and a full wellbeing team on site throughout. Right of admission is reserved. Consent is not a suggestion here, it is the baseline. I

Ourgasm welcomes a broad spectrum of bodies, identities and curiosities, with queer community at its core. Allies are welcome when they understand they are stepping into a space built by and for queer people. Come open. Come respectful. Come ready to participate, not just consume.

Tickets include full event guidance and expectations. Please read everything carefully before arriving.

This is a day of ideas and a night of release. Bristol’s brickwork vibrating with pleasure politics!
