Portals: Moon Over Renshaw Street

Step through the portal into an entrancing evening as the veil thins for Samhain. Channel your inner vampire (or slayer) over hand-crafted cocktails with carefully curated music and visuals to set the mood while you dance in the dark.

Our goal at Portals is to create an immersive audiovisual experience inspired by dark alternative art, film, music, and aesthetics. If one were to be reductive - yes, it is a "goth" night. But more than that, we hope to fill a gap in the Liverpool alternative community that invites people to connect and participate. Whether you have been in the scene since the birth of the Batcave or you just found your mum's old Bauhaus t-shirts in storage, we invite you to Portals to socialize, dance, and escape the horrors of reality for a few hours.

This is intended to be a safe space. To those who believe goth is not political, this is probably not your scene. We are firmly against racism, sexism, fascism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, Zionism, Islamophobia, hate speech, or any other hateful rhetoric. There is no such thing as "conservative" goth. Goth, punk, metal and other alternative subcultures have always been a rebellion against the grain.

Info: Tarot Readings will be available from 8pm to 10pm by Cat de Leon, owner of As Above So Below Emporium. Cat has been reading cards since she was 12 years old, and has over 35 years of professional experience. She has read in some of New England's oldest psychic salons and faires (including in Salem Massachusetts), and brings her intuitive skill and expertise to Liverpool in her shop on Mathew St. Card readings will be around 10-12 minutes. We strongly recommend buying an advance ticket and booking a time slot to guarantee your space, if you are interested. If there is spare time between 8pm and 10pm, Cat can also take cash or card payments at the event.
