February & Fire!

  By

February is best known for two major things – it’s the last full month of winter, and also the month of Valentine, fiery passion, lust and hot luuurrrrvve.

Over the many years, a fire theme has become somewhat of a tradition with the Swamp event in February, so what better way to warm those cold hands/bodies and fan those flames of passion by joining us on Sunday 13th, for our February demo on alternative ways to keep warm with our old flames – The Fire Crew.

The Fire Crew – Hyperbolt, Grippa, lil_emily (and maybe a few others) 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 and body burning. 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! The demo usually starts around 14.45-15.00hrs.

And while you are there, why not browse and enjoy our small selection of traders (see Swamp website for a list of expected traders). Remember, it is your support of the market section of Swamp, that enables it to continue.

We are aware that all the Covid restrictions have now come to an end in England (and pretty much an end in both Wales and Scotland), so we cannot demand a Covid Passport or Negative LFT in order to enter. However, common sense must prevail, and naturally we would prefer you to have a Covid Passport, or have taken a LFT prior to attending, and – as always – do not attend should you have any of the well documented symptoms. As previous, we have hand gel available at the door, along with a face masks. We are quite happy if people want to wear a face mask whilst at the venue.

So whether you are a regular, newbie or returnee, come along to one of the friendliest fetish market/party events in the UK.

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 Sunday 13th February 2022 OMG Club, Frog Lane, Bristol – so many reasons to come early and stay for the entire event.

January 9th 2022

  By

Over the years, Swamp occasionally had an educational interactive presentation/discussion on a particular subject (Household Bondage, Household S&M, History of BDSM, Life of a Pro Domme), whilst we haven’t done one for a while, Captivated_Rose has stepped forward to provide a 30-40min presentation/discussion on “Disabilities in Kink” how you can adapt play for a disabled person, worries/fears, neurodivergencies etc – and considering the current topic of diversity and equality is big in the media at the moment, it should prove both interesting and thought provoking.

AND …..

Whip_cracker has also stepped forward to provide a demo, and is currently undecided on whether it will be impact 101 or whips. Now he’s not given too much away at the moment but if he does decide on the whips, in the past we have had fire whips, neon/ultra violet whips, bullwhips, single tails, whip wrapping and whip stunts – and he always keeps the demo details quite close to his chest, which makes things more spectacular on the actual day. If he goes with Impact Play 101, it will be an interesting, informative, educational (and likely interactive) time for people of all stages and experience.

Captivated_Rose presentation/discussion will start @14.30
Whip_cracker Impact 101 or Whip demo will start @15.30

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.

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.

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!)
