Beyond Darklands

Fetish in the city

With so much going on at Beyond Darklands it is easy to forget that you are staying
in a beautiful historic city with a vibrant gay life.

 

Citywide program

Local venues

Antwerp is known as the Diamond Capital of the world. Not sure if it’s the diamonds but the city is one of the most hospitable and tolerant cities towards the LGBTQ+ community. No wonder you’ll find such a broad variety of gay businesses in the city. We’d like to give you a glimpse of the businesses that support the festival and welcome Beyond Darklands visitors with open arms.
