Attend a Masterclass
Sharing knowledge and meeting likeminded people is at the heart of Beyond Darklands. Our Masterclasses are led by professionals and seasoned players who bring their experience and insights straight from the community. Every session is designed to give you awareness, skills, and inspiration that you can carry forward into your kinky life.
At Beyond Darklands 2026 we are unleashing 65 Masterclasses. The program spans a huge range of subjects: from consent, mental health, and queer identity to bondage, fisting, fetish business, and the legacy of gay leather culture. Whether you are taking your first steps or pushing your limits, there is a class for you.
Each session lasts an hour (some exceptions) and is presented in English. Tickets are limited and sold on a first come, first served basis. Standard cost is €12 to cover production, with some presenters adding a small fee to cover their expenses.
Building on the success of last year, online Masterclasses will return in early 2026, alongside our popular Beyond Darklands for Beginners series offered both online and in person. These sessions are ideal if you are new to the festival and want to connect with others before stepping inside the madness.
From just 16 classes in 2022 to 54 in 2025 and now 65 in 2026, the program has grown into a cornerstone of Beyond Darklands. A dedicated team of education specialists works closely with presenters to expand the range of topics and create meaningful learning experiences.
As part of our Kink Responsibly project, complimentary tickets will again be offered for classes focusing on wellbeing, community, and mental health. More details will be shared soon.
Tickets are available now.
