To what we hope will turn out to be a munch in a pleasant social area, leading out onto the large roof garden, partially covered and heated if it's cold. Upstairs has another area too. Here, also, we will have demos and workshops, two rope demos, one rope workshop and an artistic flogging demo (I've seen it, and I know). And burlesque, but burlesque as its never been done before!

Come 6pm, a change takes place. The fetish market will close and the munch turns into a barbeque, with an outdoor and indoor area.

And, past the ferocious dungeon Masters and Mistresses, the play area opens, also upstairs, with loads of kit - Kinky Cottage kit, York Munch Kit and Pamela's Playroom Kit - a players heaven - plus there is some interesting metal work that forms part of the club fittings for those that like inventive play. There’s seating for chilling out, relaxing into sub space or just watching the other players.

At 8pm the Kink Ball begins, in the now transformed downstairs. A large bar along one side, the dance floor in the middle, two, perhaps three experienced DJ's from the scene bringing you an eclectic mix of Goth, Goth rock, industrial metal, Indie, garage and house.
