SWAMP will open at 2pm for November only instead of our usual 1pm.
This is to help the traders have easier access by avoiding the Remembrance Sunday morning road closures. Please spread the news to friends.
Our early bird prices will still apply and move forward to 3pm.
Come and celebrate more than just summer on the 9th July at SWAMP…
To start things off we are very pleased to be hosting a Collaring Ceremony at 1pm and the main participants are happy to have everyone join them for their celebration. This will take place in the demo/workshop area. As this is taking place before 2pm there will be no charge for entry but you will still need to pick up a ticket at the front desk before entering.
Our bi-monthly bondage workshop takes place at 2.30pm and runs alongside our vibrant fetish market. Entry to the workshop is £10 (or £7 if you arrive before 2pm) which also gives you access to the market and evening party.
A new problem was brought to our attention last month during the bondage workshop by one of our friends. During our last bondage workshop, whilst being tied, she felt her watch vibrating on her wrist, but didn’t pay any attention thinking the caller could call back later. Once untied she discovered it was her watch trying to contact with the emergency contacts or I.C.E numbers in her phone, thinking she had taken a fall. Fortunately, her phone didn’t have a signal in the venue so failed to connect. As she said, – ‘imagine that conversation with your mother!’ Her watch is an I-Phone 5, but they are now up to I-Phone 8, and they are even more sensitive and only give about a few seconds response time before they make calls for you.
So we would advise anyone with a smart watch that has this facility to remove it before taking part in any activity at SWAMP that could trigger an emergency call. Our cloakroom is very secure and constantly manned throughout the day if you are wanting to put it somewhere safe.
Not long now until Sunday – good times are just around the corner!
Have you ever wanted to fling a flogger, play with a paddle or sling a single tail? This month the f3werks team will be giving a basic introduction to impact play styles using different toy types. This will include a basic break down of how to use the toys, safety tips and the anatomy of how the toys are made. Entry to the demo is included in the £3 daytime market ticket price – or FREE if you come along before 2pm!
April’s event falls on the 9th, which this year happens to be part of the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. SWAMP will be taking place on the 9th as usual, but there will be a change to the finishing times of both of our dungeons, as well as our event. Our dungeons will now finish at 10pm instead of 11pm, with SWAMP finishing at 11pm instead of midnight. This is due to OMG wanting to open themselves at 11pm. This is not just a change for April though, but for every month until further notice. We have arranged for anyone who wishes to remain socialising at OMG to be able to do so without paying an additional entry price, but you will need to swap your SWAMP wristband for an OMG one at the entrance at 11pm.
How is everyone doing? We’re part way through a five-week month and it already feels like ages since the last SWAMP.
This month it feels like we’re having another ‘return of’ moment for the bondage workshop, after the last attempt in September fell victim to road closures around the venue. So if you’re interested in rope bondage there’s all the more reason to come along and make up for it by tying/getting tied up for the afternoon on the 13th. The workshop starts at 2.30pm in the public dungeon space and runs until 5pm. Entry is £10 which includes entry to the market and evening party, or just £7 if you arrive before 2pm.
Lots of traders this month – the market’s steadily growing month by month – the traders need your support so if you can, buy from them rather than online, to ensure we make it worthwhile for their return and in so doing keeping the market vibrant.
With traders in mind we also have a small demo staged by one of our vendors – Kerry from Cotswold Wood Art this month. He will be demonstrating how to look after your wooden impact toys correctly – including a very helpful guide on what you should do if you’ve been a little heavy handed in play or with your storage. The demo will start at 3pm in the back dungeon alongside his stall, with a workshop running throughout the afternoon where everyone is welcome to bring in any items you would like his expert advice on, whoever they were made by – how good is that?
See you soon…can’t wait…
Just under two weeks to go until the September 11th SWAMP. This month we have our afternoon Rope Workshop from 2.30pm until 5pm. Entry to the rope workshop is now included in the price of a £10 all day ticket, or £7 if bought before 2pm.
There is also FREE ENTRY to the market if you arrive before 2pm. So come along early and make a day of it, there’s lots of new products to browse through.
In the evening the popular needleplay workshop returns, run by Edgyyyyy Designs, and we also have a new wax workshop for you during the evening run by Amanda and Rob from Bound In Submission & Leather, in addition to our regular violet wand workshop with Mister Rol. Lots going on!
We would like to remind everyone that play in both the public and private dungeons is subject to SWAMP rules, and our Dungeon Monitors are instructed to step in should any play not conform to those guidelines. It really is very simple; our rules may differ to what you do at home or elsewhere, and it doesn’t matter how experienced you are – if your method of play doesn’t fit with our rules, please do not be offended if asked to moderate or cease play.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Swamp Sunday 11th March 2018 OMG Club, Frog Lane, Bristol – with our usual traders, rope workshop, day dungeon, after market play party, and electrical play workshop there are so many reasons to come early and stay for the entire event.
This is the event rescheduled from July.
We are most fortunate to have WykD Dave and clover coming to perform for us at September’s SWAMP.
Some of the finest performers anywhere, they will be sharing their art on stage from around 3pm. So whether you are into rope or not this is a must see event. And for the many rope enthusiasts amongst us a fantastic opportunity to learn, by watching some of the very best do what they do.
After that we can either do our regular rope workshop or Dave and Clover have offered to do a talk, depending on numbers and what seems right at the time. As usual there is no photography, please.
