New to Torture Garden — or the scene in general — and want a chance to dip your toes in, ask questions and make a few connections before your first party? This is the event for you.

Long-time collaborators Torture Garden and Charmskool Shop are joining forces for a relaxed, informal social designed to help you feel a little more prepared — and a lot more excited — for your first party.

Hosted at Charmskool Showroom, the evening will cover some of the essentials of getting ready for your first TG:

👗 Dresscode & styling

TG's Yasmin will be on hand with advice dresscode, while the Charmskool team can help you put together an outfit from the incredible selection in store. With pieces for masc, femme and them, and options across different price points - browse, try things on and have some fun playing dress-up.

🎟️ TG ticket holders get 10% off

Already got your ticket to the TG Halloween party? You'll get 10% off your Charmskool purchase on the night.

💬 What to expect

TG's Charlotte will be chatting about what to expect from your first party and answering any questions you might have — whether that's about TG itself, getting involved, or simply navigating the scene when you're new to it all.

🥂 Meet your fellow newbies

Grab a drink and some snacks (included in the ticket price), have a browse, try on some outfits and get chatting with other people who are also new to the scene. No pressure, no expectations — just a chance to meet people, ask questions and get comfortable before the big night.

Timetable will be posted closer to the date.

Spaces are limited due to showroom capacity, so advance booking is strongly recommended.
