Erotica UK

Erotica was an adult, consumer exhibition held each November at Olympia, London, UK.

Exhibitors, including many small- to medium-sized companies and sole traders, offered fashion, corsetry, lingerie, shoes, jewellery, art, photography, sculpture, adult toys, games, books, DVDs, furniture and romantic gifts.

Popular free entertainment included stage shows that ran several times each day (produced by London's Torture Garden), Dreamboys, entertainers that wandered among the crowds, workshops and demonstrations (including glamour photography, bodycasting, and burlesque classes), and a team of National Health Service sexual health advisors offering free advice, condoms, and chlamydia testing.

Erotica was keen to promote safe, respectful and responsible sex, and welcomed visitors of all sexual orientations – straight, gay, and transgender.

Erotica Manchester had its first show at the G-Mex Centre in March 2003[3] but ticket sales were poor in 2005[4] despite attempts the previous year to attract visitors by having former Conservative Member of Parliament Neil Hamilton promote the event[5] and the organisers did not return.
