"Part of the London Fetish Weekend, The Xpo at the Barbican is a popular alternative and fetish fashion shopping exhibition"

Cathy and Paul Norris took over the running of the Skin Two Expo in 2004. In 2007, this ever evolving and increasingly well attended fetish fashion and shopping event changed it's name to The Xpo. Held at the Barbican, the same City of London as it has been for several years, The Xpo is a showcase for some of the top UK and international names in fetish clubbing couture, BDSM equipment and kinky art. This year The Xpo takes place on Friday 3rd October (3pm til 9pm) and Saturday 4th October (11am til 8pm), is part of the London Fetish Weekend, and is a strictly over 18s event.

Jed Phoenix of London started trading at what was then the Skin Two Expo in 2003 and has returned every October in subsequent years. The atmosphere of this busy alternative and fetish fashion exhibition is very friendly and safe, with helpers on hand to guide newcomers round The Xpo event (just ask at reception). Tickets for The Xpo are £10 a day and are available from The Xpo website or at the venue on the day.
