ENTERTAINMENT

To be announced shortly...

----------

PLAY AT THIS PARTY

+ A huge array of play spaces - crosses, benches, cages, rope frames, massage tables, etc.  

+ Dungeon monitors to ensure any questions can be answered and that safety is held as utmost priority. These monitors are easily identifiable and approachable. 

+ BYO equipment / toys 

+ Full nudity OK during play / bottoms must be on if/when not playing 

+ NO intentional blood play and strictly NO sharps play 

+ NO genital penetration

+ If play is occurring and you are not a part of it, keep your distance from the scene. This is for the comfortability of those people playing and for your safety. 

+ If play is occurring and you are not a part of it, do not try to interact, verbally or physically, in any way with people whilst they are engaged in a play scene. When this happens and is unsolicited, it can kill the vibe for everyone involved.

 + In the unlikely case of an emergency, dungeon monitors and/or venue staff will be able to assist where needed.

S.S.C = Safe, Sane, Consensual 

R.A.C.K = Risk Aware Consensual Kink 

P.R.I.C.K = Personal Responsibility, Informed, Consensual Kink 

These are the three most popularly used tenets which kinksters utilize for their styles of play.

This event is aimed at catering for both new and experienced kinksters alike.

----------

CONSENT, SAFETY & COMFORTABILITY 

+ Consent is paramount. 

+ Do not touch any person without their explicit consent. 

+ Do not touch any person’s belongings without their explicit consent. 

+ Clothing does not equal consent. 

+ Consent must be enthusiastic and freely given. 

+ Consent may be withdrawn at any time. 

+ “No” means no.

We reserve the right to deny you entry to or eject you from the event space if it is reported that you have engaged in any type of aggressive, coercive or disrespectful behaviors during your time on the venue’s property. We do not tolerate any form of racism, homophobia, transphobia, bodyshaming or kinkshaming. Unsolicited leering, following or any other type of harassment will not be tolerated. If you breach our event’s rules by engaging in any of these behaviours you will be asked to remove yourself from the property and no refund will be given.

Whilst our official event crew and team of dungeon monitors will be amongst the crowd throughout the entirety of the event and doing their best to keep an eye on everything, they cannot be in every single place at every single moment. Support us in supporting you by flagging any of these negative behaviors that either you experience yourself or witness amongst the crowd to our dungeon monitors as soon as possible.
