At the centre of the business is a substantial direct audience, including an 11,000+ member private Facebook community, approximately 17,000 Instagram followers, 12,000 TikTok followers and a 12,000-person email database. This gives an incoming owner immediate access to a highly engaged customer base with proven participation across events, memberships, travel, merchandise and community experiences.

For a purchaser, the real value lies in acquiring the audience, brand, relationships and infrastructure together.

With fantasy and immersive entertainment continuing to attract mainstream attention, this represents an exciting opportunity for an events operator, lifestyle brand, publisher, retailer or entrepreneur seeking a distinctive platform with an established following and meaningful growth potential.
