Fetish Parties Around The World: UK

Fetish Parties in the UK – The UK is well known for having a kinky, albeit sometimes a hidden attribute, population. The love of kinks from latex to BDSM, from spanking to high heels is reflected in a thriving array of fetish clubs and kinky parties held across the country. If you want more information on fetish party etiquette read on in the newbie guide to fetish clubs and fetish parties.

One of the oldest and most famous fetish parties is the Torture Garden. Despite the name this is very much a fetish party with a focus on fetish fashion, kinky outfits and the like. Torture Garden holds events monthly, mostly in London venues, but occationally elsewhere around the world. Previously Torture Garden has been held in Toronto, Tokyo and Rome among others.

Another London based fetish club with regular parties is the Club Rub. A wild ride of rubber fetish, latex and BDSM kinks partying for real lifestylers based on a strict dresscode. Generally these fetish styled parties and events have quite dress codes whereas you will often find BDSM munches, BDSM markets and the like often have more permissable entry rules. However, it is always advisable to not only check and adhere to dress codes but to in fact go out of your way to dress up nicely. A fetish party or event is way more enjoyable if you feel sexy, confident and smart.

Speaking of other types of kinky events in the UK more or less every city with a bit of self esteem features small BDSM munches. These are simple get togethers typically held in pubs with no dress up or play. Munches are basically a way to socialize with likeminded people, get information about other events in the area and expand your circle of kinksters. The easiest way to find a BDSM munch nearby is to head onto Fetlife, browse to your local towns events and groups and see what is happening.

Somewhere in between fetish parties and munches there are a couple of excellent kinky markets catering to lovers of a wide range of fetishes including classic BDSM, femdom, spanking and fetish clothes. The grand old royalty of fetish markets is the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar which has seemingly been copied in a variety of contexts in other cities. The biggest of the surviving newer markets is the London Alternative Market. The locations of the two should be self evident. The fetish markets generally have a mix of kinksters and curious drop-bys, a cocktail of people dressed perfectly in fetish wear and those in plain street clothes. As an entry point fetish markets are very easy ones. Drop in, cruise around and have fun. At the same time these are perfect spots for supplementing your BDSM toy box with plentiful stalls from sex toy vendors and producers. On top you can attend a variety of kinky workshops, hang out socializing in bars, find fetish party and munch info and way more beyond.
