The location, The Barbican Exhibition Hall, is self contained and very discrete and we will provide changing and cloakroom facilities so you can change when you arrive.
Will my photo be taken/Can I take photographs?
NO – you cannot bring a camera and anyone caught using a camera phone or any other type of camera will have their media deleted and will be asked to leave. Our official photographers will have clear badges and will ask your permission to take your photo..

• The Xpo has a very friendly atmosphere and provided a very safe environment for newcomers. We do not allow stag or hen parties at the event. We will refuse entry to anybody that appears to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances.
Is there a dress code?
• There is no dress code at the event; you can wear what you like, but many people do dress up and this adds to the general spectacle, but the choice is yours. Full nudity is not allowed and nipples must be covered at all times.
What if I see something I'm not comfortable with?
• We have a large contingent of helpers whose job it is to make sure that the event is pleasant and friendly at all times. If there is anything at the event that makes you feel uncomfortable then please bring this to the attention of the organisers.
What kind of stalls will there be?
• The Xpo brings together many of the world’s top designers and suppliers in fetish, alternative and club wear. The majority of the exhibitors are clothing companies selling leather, latex and PVC outfits, corsets, hosiery and lingerie. Many of the exhibitors offer bespoke services and cater for all sizes and all sexes. Other exhibitors include those selling shoes and boots, art, bondage gear, dungeon equipment/furniture, wigs, jewellery and accessories. See what's on offer and who's exhibiting here.

We have tried to make The Xpo a fun and exciting place to visit, as well as being a completely safe environment for anyone new to the scene or curious about it. If you have any questions at all or are nervous about any aspect of visiting, please let me know and I will do my best to put your mind at ease.
I look forward to seeing you at The Xpo
