As the veil grows thin, the forest begins to whisper...

We're preparing something special for those who feel more at home beneath moonlight than sunlight.

Dust off your boots.
Straighten your black lace.
The night is calling once again.

Watch this space...

A massive thank you to the hundreds of beautiful souls who stepped through The Ninth Door to celebrate World Goth Day 2026 with us. 🖤

To those who wandered the market beneath shadow and candlelight, supported the vendors, danced through the fog, lost themselves in the music, and filled the night with life, laughter, velvet, leather, lace and darkness and to all those who helped make this possible - thank you.

For a few fleeting hours, another world existed.

The atmosphere, energy, kindness, respect, conversations, and music echoing through the haze... was nothing short of magical.

Durban’s dark heart still beats.

Until the next gathering…
