It begins with you, an audience, a witness... in a place where psychological ritual meets erotic performance, and ends with all on the dance floor.
If you want to drink, then come...

Creating a Modern Space for the Ancient Divine
At the Temple of Dionysus we believe in transformative sexuality, joyous vulgarity, loud music and a jolly good piss up, creating moments that leave a lasting impression. What differentiates us from a night out in Newcastle is our spirituality. WTF? we hear you cry...
​
ALL intoxication, including that of the flesh, can be a communion with the divine. We create distinctive events that acknowledge that the past held much wisdom. Using ritual drama and music, tailored to our specific needs and desires, we build a Modern Temple environment such as Dionysus himself would feel at home in. Our shamanic blend of Maenad Priestesses, fine wine and banging music shot through with freedom, humour and truth-saying, ignites a fire that calls the god Himself.

What, When & How...
Obviously, during lockdown our extended gatherings were on hold. But now things are starting to change, we are beginning again and invite you to step back into life and all it's intoxicating glory!
Described below are a few of the past and future formats...
Come To Us
Edinburgh/Glasgow
We host irregular nights of the senses, sometimes we hire a location in Glasgow or Edinburgh - these are usually ticketed events to cover the hire costs. Doors are locked for arrivals after a set time & those running late will not get in! There is an absolute veto on photographs or filming.
Sometimes we fancy an outdoor & random 'Pop Up' Dionysian Gatherings, on the beach or in the woods... but for comfort, joy and absolute lack of venue owner attitude problems, we default to a private location in the Dumfries area.
IF an event is ticketed events it will be clearly stated, the default is: -
Unticketed, Invitation Only, Voluntary donations.
