Our Guide to the Bristol Fetish & BDSM Scene

Bristol sits on the River Frome and Avon and is the biggest city in South West England. But where can you find the BDSM Bristol scene and where should you look for kinky Bristol dating? We show you how.

Bristol fetish and kink shopping

If you're looking to find Bristol fetish shopping opportunities, sub, dom and Femdom Bristol social munches and enjoy a BDSM Bristol play party all under one roof, check out SWAMP (South West Alternative Market & Party) "a friendly place to find out more about the fetish scene." Held on every second Sunday of the month, it's a munch, market and play party all in one and a great way to get an introduction to the BDSM Bristol scene.

SWAMP is also an excellent choice for kinky Bristol dating as it has all you might want under one roof. It's especially useful for those who are new to kink as they have a meet and greet system, give them a call, and someone will meet you at the door and give you a tour around SWAMP, so you don't have to do it on your own.

If you want to dress up or treat your Femdom Bristol mistress on any other day of the week, you might want to head to the Gloucester Road indie shopping district which has more independent shops in one place than anywhere else in the UK. Lots of shops to browse for alternative and fetish wear.

The Bristol pound might sound like a BDSM Bristol sex act, but actually, Bristol has its own currency. Created in 2012 as a way to encourage people to shop locally, so maybe you can give a Bristol pound while you're out shopping. It sounds like it might be a bit of Femdom Bristol fun too!

What to see and do in BDSM Bristol

You've got to make sure you're 'Ship Shape and Bristol fashion' out on the Bristol fetish scene. It's a saying that comes from Bristol's high tidal range. Ships moored in the harbour at low tide would be grounded and tip to one side. If everything weren't stowed away or tied down, then chaos would ensue, and cargo would be spoiled.

And talking about being tied down, in Bristol bondage can be a fun pastime. You can find workshops at local clubs, or you could maybe hire a local dungeon such as House Du Croix dungeon for hire "…probably the South West's premier BDSM dungeon and hire venue".

Or maybe try some serious Bristol dating by visiting Studio Onyx, a Somerset Fetish venue with dedicated BDSM play space filled with all the dungeon equipment and furniture you might want and need. Although, maybe this isn't a first date kind of venue…
