July 9th Collaring Celebration & Smart Watch Alert

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!

SWAMP June 11th – Good Times Continue…

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…

November 11th 2018 – Ropes!

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.

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 11th November 2018 OMG Club, Frog Lane, Bristol – with our usual traders, rope workshop, day dungeon, after market play party, electrical play workshop, and photography area, there are so many reasons to come early and stay for the entire event.

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

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.

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.

Return Of The Bondage Workshop

In the evening, Painful Pleasures will once again hold a workshop for all things electrical. So for those who got a taste for electrical play last month, or anyone simply curious, why not come along (I’ll even spare you the dodgy electrical puns this time!)

February Fireplay Demo 2018

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.

WykD Dave and Clover Performance – September 10th

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.

2017 – It’s A Good Year For SWAMP Bondage Lovers!

From February the Peer Bondage Workshops will be taking place each and every month. This won’t be instead of our bi-monthly demos but in addition to, as we’ll be making more use of the back rooms which are currently unused during the day.

You’ll be pleased to know that the cost won’t change – it’s still only £3 for entry to the workshop, market, and demo.

Proceedings will be looked after in the same responsible manner by Jahc and Richard Rope – they are a tad excited about it too 🙂

The South West Peer Bondage Workshop will be taking place this month, starting at around 2.30 and running until approximately 5pm. Anyone with a market ticket (£3) is welcome to join in.
