Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans will be able to enjoy themed cabaret, craft stalls and a singalong at the first Buffyfest event at Browns Lane in Paisley on 17th October 2026.
The event will run from noon until 8pm. Entry is free, with separate tickets required for two adults-only cabaret shows.
Organised by Browns Lane and Icey Promotions, the day will include a pop-up market selling Buffy, vampire and gothic crafts, alongside street food, themed ice cream and cocktails.
Music from the television show will play between the live performances. Visitors will also be able to sing along with songs from the musical episode, ‘Once More, with Feeling’.
Fancy dress is welcome, with a prize for the best dressed. Vintage Buffy prizes will be available through a raffle and ‘Big Bad’ bingo, where visitors can find villains from the show for a chance to win.
The cabaret shows will start at approximately 3pm and 6pm. Tickets cost £13 per show and can be bought online or on the day, subject to availability. Both performances are restricted to people aged 18 and over.
All ages are welcome at the wider event, but children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Visitors will have access to the Browns Lane indoor market. A ‘Books for Bairns’ table will offer free children’s books.
All profits from table rental will go towards a free pet food bank.
Jamie McDermid, owner of Icey Promotions, said: “The beautiful folk at Brown’s Lane have let me take over the gaff again for a complete Buffy the Vampire themed day. We are excited to invite Buffy fans and anyone who loves spooky cabaret and fun to our first Buffyfest on 17 October 2026. With two Buffy themed live cabaret shows and a vibrant range of stalls and food and drink offerings, there is bound to be a little something darkly special and unique for everyone. We promise we won’t bite!”
