In addition to the music there will be a black market of 40 plus stalls selling all things gothic from clothes and boots to CDs, artwork, jewellery and accessories which will be open to the public at the Platform on the Friday and Saturday from 10am to 5pm.

Other events include a weird and wonderful fashion show by talented North West designers, The Rubber Peacock in aid of Derian House.
