What is VENUS?

VENUS is both a trade fair and a public fair: for erotica, lifestyle and adult entertainment. There are exhibitor stands from toy and lingerie brands, stage shows, meet & greets with creators, a Kinky Area, a Queer Space in its own hall and a B2B hall for trade visitors. For 2026 the organiser expected more than 32,000 visitors.

Who organises VENUS?

The organiser is VENUS Berlin GmbH, based in Berlin. The fair is traditionally opened with the presentation of the Venus Award, in 2026 at Tipi am Kanzleramt. Events around the fair may have their own organisers.

Dates and venue

VENUS 2027: 14 to 17 October 2027, the 30th anniversary edition

Who is VENUS for?

For all adults interested in erotica and sexuality: couples, singles, the curious, scene people and trade visitors. For the kink community, the Kinky Area and the Queer Space are the most interesting.

If the Kinky Area has given you a taste for rope: our recommendation for learning and practising bondage is the ropeXchange weekends, for example ropeXchange – Winter/Spring '27 from 26 to 28 February 2027 at Atrium.
