Gothic glamour, dramatic make-up and dazzling style took over Leeds Kirkgate Market for the return of the Festival of Gothica’s Alternative Market.
From elaborate outfits and intricate accessories the event today brought a striking celebration of gothic culture to the city.
Over 200 vendors were on show at the event which celebrates the city’s significance in the gothic movement.
And our photographer Steve Riding captured 22 of our favourite photographs from a day where darkness, creativity and individuality took centre stage.
