One pm, dawn for the Kinkdom...

A fetish market of 15 to 20 stalls, gathered around the central open area and exhibition floor. Here we will see two burlesque performances during the afternoon. A large bar, selling drinks at very reasonable prices, including coffee.

Upstairs, even more stalls, and the munch and social area, leading out onto the large roof garden, partially covered and heated if it's cold. Up here, also, we will have at least two workshops, one will be bdsm, the other(s) may be bdsm related or erotic dance: tasters in burlesque, perhaps pole dancing.

Come 6pm, a change takes place. The fetish market will close and the munch turns into a barbeque, with an outdoor and indoor area.

And, past the ferocious dungeon Masters and Mistresses, the play area opens, also upstairs, with ten or a dozen pieces of kit and some interesting metal work that forms part of the club fittings for those that like inventive play. There’s seating for chilling out, relaxing into sub space or just watching the other players.

And at 8pm the Kink Ball begins, in the now transformed downstairs. A large bar along one side, the dance floor in the middle, two experienced DJ's bringing you a mix of Goth, Goth rock, industrial metal, Indie, garage and house.

Dress to impress, bring out your finest rubber, leather, pvc, Goth, tv, cd. Be who you want to be, go to town, enjoy yourself. Be seen, be part of it, dance, talk, promenade, this is YOUR space to be as wild and kinky as you want to be.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the barbeque and the munch area close at 8pm, while the players play on, regardless. Their area undergoes a quiet metamorphosis, as it expands smoothly into what was the munch area, to give space for deeper play. The chill out space now becomes a larger area, screened and tended by ministering TV maids, who will ply the unfortunate subs who gasped their safewords with hot sweet tea and coffee. The atmosphere up here becomes rather special. The Kink Ball rages below, the dance floor just visible, the lights showing through the glass atrium above the dance floor. But up here, it seems relatively quiet and somehow magical. The original play area is fairly private and quiet for introspective play, while the munch area of the afternoon is now the exhibitionist’s territory, play and be seen!! Voyeurs welcome, sharpen up your skills to play to the crowd, show the posers what its all really about!!

But its Sunday, many have travelled a long way to be here, many have to go to work in the morning. And by midnight, you’ve been on those heels and sweating in that rubber for eleven hours, so you’ll feel just that little bit relieved when the hour of one creeps up and things go quiet. Night falls on the Kinkdom, 4 weeks to wait for the next dawning.
