SWAMP June 11th – Good Times Continue…

  By

So who’s looking forward to Sunday so we can create good times again – we definitely are! For June we have a Wrestling Demo presented by XWX Workshops at 2.30pm. To quote them:

“Have you ever been into or curious about ultimate surrender, or evolved fights, or kinky wrestling in general. Well come along to SWAMP, watch people enjoy the kink, ask questions, and if you’re still curious to know more join us for a mini workshop where we’ll cover the ins & outs of safety along with the skills used in the activity. You’ll learn new ways to enjoy rough foreplay.

If you’re interested in taking part in the mini workshop this’ll run for approximately 2hrs from 3-5pm. Please bring sports/active wear with you & arrive shower fresh. If you have any sort of fragile skin, please cover this up. Cut your nails – both toes & fingernails to a safe length. Whilst the workshop requires a level of fitness, it is open to all – interested or curious, and you can take part in as little or as much of the workshop as you like.

We look forward to rumblin’ with you.”

The £3 market ticket allows free entry into the demo and workshop, and if you arrive before 2pm it’s FREE!

The demo/workshop will run alongside our vibrant market, which seems to be getting busier with each month – we’ve definitely got enough quality traders to keep you busy throughout the afternoon. Please come along and support their hard work – it’s very much a cottage industry and you can feel happy knowing your support is very much appreciated by each and every one of them.

The evening party starts at 7pm and this month we have our Wax Workshop curated by Amanda & Rob from Bound In Submission & Leather. From this month we’ll have a dedicated area to take your close-ups of your wax handi-work too, so we look forward to seeing those pics on here during the following days. That’s in addition to our Violet Wand table and whatever else people decide to entertain us with!

Good times indeed…

Fiery Fetish Fun For February 12th!

  By

How is everyone? It’s been a 5 week month and seems like ages since the last SWAMP, we hope you’re all fireting fit and ready to embrace the February SWAMP.

For any newcomers out there (and I’m very pleased to say there are many), then you are in for a real treat this Sunday as SWAMP plays host to Nick, Grippa et al (the fire crew) for their entertaining and informative annual demo on Fireplay. We say demo but it always evolves into a workshop as it’s very rare for them to finish by 5pm, such is their enthusiasm for the topic. If you have any questions about fireplay these are the people to talk to, as they have over twenty years of experience to draw on. Proceedings will start at 3pm, so get here early if you want a seat, or to have a wander around our vibrant market first.

Speaking of which, we have a great selection this month. Seven Sin Latex are back to show you their latest creations, and Deadly Desires Kink Art will hopefully make it this time, after car trouble in December halted their attendance in December. Click here for the current list. The fun doesn’t stop with the daytime – aside from the fire crew hopefully hanging around for some play in the public dungeon, we also have @Mr_Mrs_Edgyyyyy‘s Needle Play workshop, @Papa-Rol‘s violet wand workshop, and a welcome return of our waxplay workshop, kindly put on by Amanda & Rob of @Bound-in-Leather.

From this month anyone buying a full day/party ticket will now be provided with a wristband rather than a ticket, which will make it easier for those that like to pop in and out for a smoke or a phone call – can we remind everyone that there are no mobile phones allowed inside SWAMP for everyone’s privacy, although we do provide a dedicated area inside the venue where you are free to use them.

That’s it for now – see you all Sunday!

Sunday June 12th – A Demo For The Postman & Regular Pricks

  By


Our demo this month is a real interesting one – Elastic Band Bondage and Torture. If you’re friends with your local postie then you’ll be sorted for the equipment, all you’ll need is a bit of advice and teaching from -MrSharpe- with regards to getting some body parts entwined and you’ll be good to go. Pull it back and… Twang! – lots of lovely bruises guaranteed. I last saw this around 10 years ago and take it from me, it’s a lot more painful than it sounds!

After the success of last month’s Needle Play Demo, we are pleased to be hosting a regular workshop at the SWAMP evening party. James & Niki of Edgyyyyy_Designs will be practising and advising on this much asked about topic every month from June. It’s going to be a popular attraction.

We’ve a couple more new traders for you this month. Some are exclusive to SWAMP and we hope you’ll reward their dedication to their craft. A lot of you will have noticed some impressive pics of your friends come up on your feed taken by our resident photo studio PaintboxStudio. If you’re thinking of getting a photo done – kinky or otherwise, I can highly recommend their work. They will be at the evening party from 7pm onwards.

Once again, we are offering free market & demo entry to everyone who makes it along before 2pm, or the option to buy a full day and evening ticket for just £7. Crazy deal!

Last but not least, I am very pleased to be able to tell you that starting next month (July 10th) our much-missed Rope Workshop will be returning with Jahc and RichardRope at the helm. More on that next month. It’s been a while…

We’re Back! Sunday 12th December 2021

  By

WE. ARE. BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, after what seems to be an eternity or delays, lockdowns, jabs, swabs, screening etc etc, Swamp is finally making a return, and what better time to come back than December. As our first one back in such a long time, it’s almost like we are starting from scratch again and we have a lot of details to give out, so please take the time to read the entire post (thanks).

“Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine” ……. AND Swamp!!!!!

Firstly lets address the elephant in the room, after my ‘teaser’ announcement, a lot of people were expecting us to reopen in November. After much consideration, we decided not to for the following reasons; we always clash with the Remembrance Parades and it is very difficult for us and the traders to get to the event due to the various road closures for multiple hours. As we have been away for such a long time, we need time to check the equipment and give it all a bloody good clean. And finally, it gives the both the traders and the attendees more time to make plans for the day.

A December return also makes more sense as it has always been a special celebratory anniversary/birthday month for Swamp. It’s probably the most fun month of all the Swamp events, it has a much more party atmosphere – December Swamp is just that little bit more special. We have chocs, mince pies, Christmas music (sadly, only liberally sprinkled into the music mix due to Scrooge McSteve!) and we encourage festive dress for both day and evening events if anyone would like to wear it.

As has become something of a tradition in the last few December Swamp events (well the ones we were actually opened for) and gone down very well (and therefore back by popular demand), I am pleased to announce the return of Burlesque performances as our ‘Demo’ month.

Yes, indeed returning we have burlesque and flow art performances from SailorSeb and her team of burlesque dancers, with provocative, stylish and fun dancing routines. Full cast and details have not yet been provided, so, expect the unexpected and downright naughty from each performance!

…. we hope this will whet your appetite!

If memory serves me correctly, SailorSeb will also be celebrating a birthday, so please feel free to wish her a happy one!

TRADERS:-
Please contact Anita in the usual way if you wish to have a stall with us in December, there has been no changes to the fees, and payment in the usual way. We are hoping to have a good attendance in December (traditionally it is always good, and post 20months of lockdown, we are hoping people are just itching to come back). Once we get nearer to the date, we will announce the traders that will be with us.

COVID RULES:-
At this precise moment in time, there are no specific Covid restrictions in England. At present, you do not need to provide ‘vaccine passports’, wear masks inside etc etc. However, the situation is constantly changing and rules being implemented and discarded on a regular basis. ‘Lockdown’ is being bandied about again in the media as well. Please ensure you keep yourself safe and others by ensuring you attend only if you have none of the – well documented – Covid symptoms. We will do our best to keep up to date with everything on the day.

TIMES:-
Unfortunately for us, and only just dropped on us yesterday, OMG has decided to trial opening on a Sunday night. Whether this becomes a permanent thing is anyone’s guess and naturally dependant on their usual club attendance. They initially asked us to be packed up and finished by 10pm. We have renegotiated to increase this to 11pm. So the equipment and our cloakroom, has to be packed away by then. Luckily this will not interfere with the usual dungeon play and usual dungeon shutdown times (we will just have to be quicker packing the stuff away and asking you to collect your coats and bags a little earlier than usual. We have not yet been asked that everyone must leave the club the club by 11pm, and are awaiting clarification. IF OMG is happy for people to stay, it might work in their favour as the club will be open longer, if not, then everyone has to be out an hour earlier than usual.

As soon as we know, we are hoping to announce a range of traders, from our regular traders, new traders and returning traders, so please come along and keep supporting the market. Hopefully we will continue to see them all return on a regular basis. In fact, why not stay for the entire event and enjoy the party atmosphere in the evening/night.

Swamp; part market, part munch, part party, part educational/practical workshops, part gathering, but most importantly, all fun. A place where you can be comfortable and relaxed being whoever/whatever you would like to be.

Swamp Christmas Party Sunday 12th December 2021 OMG Club, Frog Lane, Bristol – with our usual traders, new traders, demo’s, rope play areas, day dungeon, after market play party, free mince pies, free chocs, festive dress and overall fun party atmosphere, there are so many reasons to come early and stay for the entire event.

Hope to see you there.

January Half Price Sale!

  By

Yes we are back for another Swamp event already, and just like the usual bargains that can be picked up from Boxing Day onwards, we have our very own sale. January is our HALF PRICE month for entry to the entire day! Yes, you read that right, our usual entry of £10 has been slashed 50% to only £5!!!!! We know how January can be a bit of a strain re the credit card fallout spend from the previous month, but we also know you would like to go somewhere to party and enjoy the day. So why not come along and take advantage of the half price month at Swamp – that’s 11 hours worth of play, shopping, tying and partying for only 45p per hour!!!

And for those thinking about coming along for the first time, it makes sense to take advantage of this month’s offer and come along, dip ur proverbial toes in the water and see if you like it.

We alternate back into our popular Rope Workshop territory for January, (so please keep an eye out for an information posting by the Peer Rope Bondage Workshop for full details, descriptions, and times etc). Whether you are a total novice, or a more experienced player in the binding art, the rope workshop will have something special for you all. And as previously posted, they have a lot of special events planned for the forthcoming year. The Rope Workshop generally runs from around 2pm.

We continue to have a healthy number of traders, so please continue your support for the market and make an effort to keep it going. The Market section of Swamp opens at 1pm and usually runs until @6pm.

November 11th 2018 – Ropes!

  By

Halloween has come and gone, winter is rapidly approaching, but before we commence the countdown to Christmas, we have November – a time for fireworks, rockets and bonfires.

Due to the great market attendance last month, we are pleased to report a healthy number of traders again for this month. Please continue your support for the market and make an effort to keep it going. Christmas is only 8 weeks or so away, always a good idea to get those pressie ideas in early. The Market section of Swamp opens at 1pm and usually runs until @6pm.

After the well received Whip Demo last month, we alternate back into our popular Rope Workshop territory for November, (so please keep an eye out for an information posting by the Peer Rope Bondage Workshop for full details, descriptions, and times etc). Whether you are a total novice, or a more experienced player in the binding art, the rope workshop will have something special for you all.

Last month, sadly, due to illness, the electrical workshop had to be cancelled. However we are hopeful that our trader colleagues at Painful Pleasures have made a healthy recovery, and November will see the return of a workshop for all things electrical. I know a number of new people showed interest last month. So for those with a taste for electrical play, or anyone simply curious, why not come along.

Please note that due to the traditional Remembrance Day Parade/March, certain sections of Bristol City Centre roads will be closed off until lunchtime, but usually return to normal by around midday.

Sunday October 14th 2018- Whips (and beyond!) Demo by Whip_Cracker

  By

For the spooky Halloween Month, we have a demo from the famous Whip_Cracker – now he’s not given too much away at the moment but in the past we have had fire whips, neon/ultra violet whips, bullwhips, single tails, whip wrapping and whip stunts – when we asked what would be demo’d for this month, he smiled enigmatically and said “Why limit things”. All we can say is – it will be visually spectacular!

We also have a number of new and returning traders this month, in fact, more than we have had in a long time (with one trader selling steel-boned corsets); along with our regular traders of Painful Pleasures, JDL for Leather, Shokushu Boutique, Mike’s Emporium etc. – SO PLEASE COME ALONG AND SUPPORT THE MARKET, and hopefully we will see them all return on a regular basis.

Along with the multiple activities during the day, we are hopeful that Painful Pleasures will continue to hold their popular workshop for all things electrical during the evening.

Rope time! With something rather special. May 13th.

  By

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Shh, there there, no need to panic, there is indeed a Swamp event in May!

Yes, those April showers (more like constant downpours) are now behind us and we brazenly stride into the final month of Spring, with the hint of warmer weather to follow. It is once again time for our Swamp event.

It’s time for the Peer Bondage Workshop, May 13th.

Doors open at 1 for the market and general socialising, then the workshop starts around 2.30, running on to 5.30 or 6 or so.

Plenty of space on nice comfy mats, rope to borrow if you need. DMs around to keep things safe, help teach and generally help things along.

This time we are happy to welcome some really talented rope artists, in the form of AmeliaRoslyn, -SJamBok- and nezumibekka who will be running a kind of class of their own. As Amelia puts it:

‘Playing with rope – a (totally optional) workshop on playing with people in rope. We’ll be teaching you how to do free-form rope using only a couple of simple hitches and frictions to have fun and connective play sessions. We’ll also cover rope handling as well as body movement with tips for riggers and bunnies. The class is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced riggers. If you don’t have a partner you can self tie for many parts of it or partner up on the day. Bring rope and shears if you have them, we’ll start at 2.30pm in a corner of the rope area.’

Check out their pictures folks, these people are good and have a style all of their own.

There will still be plenty of space for people to do their own thing elsewhere, and the DMs will be happy to teach and introduce people as best as we can. So the usual workshop will run as well.

In the evening, Painful Pleasures will once again hold a workshop for all things electrical. So for those with a taste for electrical play, or anyone simply curious, why not come along.

February Fireplay Demo 2018

  By

With the new year now a good few weeks behind us, we gently drift into February. Cupid’s favourite month. The month of love or lurrrve, lust and fiery passions.

And what better way to warm those hearts and fan those flames of passion by joining us on Sunday 11th, for our February demo on alternative central heating with our old flames – The Fire Crew.

The Fire Crew – Hyperbolt, Grippa, Draconis666 and lil_emily will be here with one of our most popular, entertaining and visually stunning demo’s of the year. From mid afternoon and (usually) until the end of the evening, the gang are more than happy to singe, dab, burn, and caress your body with various torches. If this is something you have not yet tried, we can heartily recommend it, and if this is something you have not yet seen, we highly recommend it!

But wait, there’s more ………

As an added bonus this month, Painful Pleasures (one of our regular traders), have graciously agreed to hold a workshop in the evening for all things electrical. So for those who are interested in the electrical play side of things – from beginner to experienced, or if your curiosity has simply got the better of you, why not come along to the workshop (with no additional Charge, AMPle experience, Positive results, and discussing Current issues – yep, a shameless plug but I couldn’t resistOR getting in those electrical puns before I’m sent Ohm!)

Swamp, part market, part munch, part party, part educational/practical workshops, part gathering, but most importantly, all fun. A place where you can be comfortable and relaxed being whoever/whatever you would like to be.
