01
Our commitment

Adult spaces need clear standards.

Our venues are adult spaces designed for relaxation, social connection, and consensual adult experiences. We welcome a wide range of guests across our sessions and events. Everyone who attends has the right to feel safe, respected, and free from harassment.

One rule applies to everyone: treat others with dignity.

If your behaviour causes distress, creates a hostile atmosphere, or disrupts the venue, staff will intervene.

02
Respect and behaviour standards

What is not permitted.

To maintain a safe environment, the following behaviours are not permitted:

Intent does not override impact. If behaviour affects someone’s dignity or comfort, it will be addressed.

  • Questioning or invalidating someone’s gender or identity.
  • Derogatory or dismissive remarks about trans status, sexuality, race, age, disability, or appearance.
  • Persistent misgendering after being corrected.
  • Negative comments about someone’s body, anatomy, or medical history.
  • Mockery, intimidation, confrontation, or aggressive conduct.
  • Creating an environment that makes others feel unsafe or excluded.
03
Event fit

Choose the right session.

Some sessions are designed for particular communities or themes (for example: trans-masc events, bear nights, fetish sessions, or social evenings). If a session is not aligned with your interests or comfort level, please choose another time to visit. Personal discomfort does not justify challenging or confronting other guests.

04
Bodies and boundaries

All bodies are valid.

All bodies are valid.

Consent and respect apply at all times.

  • Do not make assumptions about someone’s anatomy, transition status, or identity.
  • Do not ask invasive personal questions.
  • If you are not interested in someone, a simple “no thanks” is sufficient.
05
Raising concerns

Tell staff. Do not escalate it yourself.

If you experience or witness behaviour that makes you uncomfortable, please:

Our team will assess the situation and respond proportionately and fairly. If you need to contact management directly regarding a past or ongoing issue, please use our Official Contact Form.

  • Inform a member of staff immediately.
  • Do not escalate the situation yourself.
06
Management and legal

Decisions are made to protect guests and staff.

Management reserves the right to issue warnings, refuse entry, remove individuals from a session, or suspend/terminate membership. These decisions are made to protect the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of guests and staff. Refunds are issued at management discretion.

We operate in line with the Equality Act 2010, which protects individuals from discrimination and harassment on the basis of protected characteristics, including gender reassignment, sexual orientation, race, and disability.
