ZDR Obscure Occult
The final ZDR event of 2026. One last descent into the shadows.
As the year draws to a close, we invite you to step beyond the veil for an evening where darkness, desire, and devotion intertwine.
Obscure Occult is a decadent celebration of kink, connection, and unapologetic self-expression.
Expect an immersive atmosphere of decadence, other worldly performances and night where the mysterious and the magnificent collide.
Whether you arrive draped in velvet, leather, lace, latex, ritual robes, or your own unique interpretation of the occult, this is a space to embrace the extraordinary.
Meet like-minded souls, lose yourself in the music/performances, and indulge in a night where curiosity is welcomed and authenticity is celebrated.
Built on the foundations of consent, respect, and inclusion, ZDR offers a welcoming environment for experienced kinksters, the kink-curious, and everyone who values genuine connection and community.
For those looking to explore, Obscure Occult features two dedicated playrooms.
Our experienced event staff will be present throughout the evening to help maintain a safe, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you have questions, need guidance, or require assistance at any point, the team is there to support you.
As always, ZDR events are built on the principles of enthusiastic consent, mutual respect, and personal responsibility. Please communicate openly, honour boundaries, and help us create a space where everyone can feel comfortable exploring at their own pace.
Join us in Brighton for the final ZDR gathering of 2026 - a closing ritual for the year, and an invitation to revel in the beautifully obscure.

Lineup
The Magic Mod
THE MAGIC MOD – aka Ben Taylor – is a comedy magician of huge esteem who can proudly count himself as a member of the exclusive Magic Circle fraternity. He has previously supported The Libertines, Paul Weller and The Brian Jonestown Massacre on tour, all people he can call friends alongside the likes of Liam Gallagher, Shaun Ryder and Rick Witter. His act astonishes, perplexes and entertains all those who witness it and is a performance wrapped in warmth and humour. Which is why people endlessly return to see him perform and why his audiences are growing with every tour, as evidenced by his sold-out run throughout the UK late last year. This is a magic show like no other and it really must be seen to be believed!

FAQs
- What is the expected etiquette?
At all events we have our house and dungeon rules posted around the venue; these are very basic and easy to follow.
We want to ensure everyone has a safe and respectful environment to play in. If you have an incident to report, our staff and dungeon monitors are on hand throughout the evening and can be spotted by their Gold ZDR Sash.
The rules are:
-NO touching without asking
-Give others space
-NO means NO, do not bother someone after they’ve said no to you.
-Clean up after yourself/your scene, there are tissues and wipes available
-Be respectful
-Do not interrupt a scene
-If you’re not sure, ask!
Anyone who goes against these rules can be asked to leave.
- Is there a dress code?
As always, dressing to impress is vital and we encourage our guests to wear something that fits in with the event theme.
We love having an environment where everyone has made an effort to get dressed up for an evening of fun. Express yourself and wear your outfit with pride!
Latex, leather, creative costumes, SMART men’s suits, corsets, dresses and fetish attire are all welcome!
Strictly NO blue jeans & white trainers, basic street wear, or full nudity.
If you're unsure about your outfit, feel free to contact us before the event to check.
We will have a member of staff checking outfits on arrival for this event.
- Is there a cloakroom? Can I get changed at the event?
There is a small cloakroom at the hotel - items are left at your own risk.
Changing areas aren’t always available at all venues but changing in toilets or your rooms is possible at the beginning of the night.
- Is photography allowed?
In the interest of discretion, we do not allow guests to take photos at our events, on mobile phones or cameras. If you are seen taking photos, you will be asked to leave. We have official photographers at all of our parties who will be more than happy to snap you and your friends.
Please bear in mind that these photos will be posted on social media pages like the ZaraDuRose Facebook page and our website, so if you’re not happy appearing there, please don’t ask for a photo.
- I’ve ordered tickets, but I haven’t received anything, or l’ve lost them. What do I do?
Our tickets are processed through the Humanitix system so are sent electronically. Please check your spam folder if you haven’t received them within a few hours.
If this is still the case, or you’ve deleted/lost your email, get in touch with us and include the name the tickets were ordered in & the email you want them sent to so we can do this manually.
In the unlikely case that the Humanitix system is at fault or they process duplicate payments, please contact them directly as we are not responsible for this.
- Can I resell my ticket If I can't make it anymore?
No refunds are given on completed ticket orders.
There are NO refunds on room purchases, but you can resell your room if needed.
If the event sells out, we will set up a waitlist for entry tickets.
If you can no longer attend the event and wish to sell your ticket, this IS possible IF the event sells out.
It is best to contact us directly, so we can change the name on the ticket for the new attendees. This will hopefully avoid any unfortunate cases of ticket fraud.
We use a scanning system for the tickets, so each person gets checked in electronically. This means each ticket can only be used ONCE.
In the unlikely event you have purchased a ticket from someone which has already been used/checked in, we are not responsible for issuing refunds and you will not be granted entry to the event.
- Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
Yes, our events are strictly over 18's only. ID may be required if you look under 25. If in doubt, PLEASE bring ID. If you are lucky enough to look under 25 but don't have any ID, you WILL be refused entry with no refund.
- What can/can't I bring to the events?
Bringing in cameras and your own alcohol is prohibited. They will be removed by security.
Bringing your own toys is encouraged, so floggers, whips, restraints etc are all fine. But please no WAX OR MESSY PLAY.
