Club Locked Manchester is a not for profit group for fetish men in the Manchester area. It's open to all people who identify as male, including trans men, and provides a safe, empowering, and always friendly kink community. Manchester has long had a thriving fetish scene, and Club Locked Manchester is now at the centre of this. Through organising kink events, it aims to bolster a sense of community, hosting attitude-free nights in which kinksters of all persuasions can meet, explore - and, most importantly, have a memorable time. As a not for profit group, Club Locked Manchester relies upon the kindness of its unpaid volunteers. Membership is open to all men of 18 years plus, and the initiative is owned by its members and volunteers. In its efforts to make kink accessible to all, Club Locked Manchester has set its membership fee at just £5. This buys you membership to the 'Lifetime Club' - in other words, it never expires. Additionally, there are entry fees for events. The membership card can be purchased on the door at these events. Membership of Club Locked Manchester also offers members-only promotions at its events, along with other discounts at leading adult stores. The idea for Club Locked Manchester came back in the summer of 2014. There was a sense that the Manchester kink scene was being controlled to a certain degree from London. While Manchester had some ppopular fetish venues, local kinksters felt there was a need for greater autonomy. It was time for kinksters in the great northern city to come together and own their fantasies - and, crucially, to make them realities. The group continues to hold successful fetish events in the Manchester area. The regular monthly kink social events are held at the well-known Eagle bar in the heart of the gay village on the third Saturday of each month. There is no dress code. The Club Locked Manchester website serves as a great resource of kinksters. There are attempts to start a social network, and a blog offers advice and helpful tips on various aspects of a fetish lifestyle.

For naughty Northerners looking for fetish fun, The GateHouse opens up endless possibilities of swinging good times. Located in Bolton, this multi-roomed sex club hosts a monthly BDSM event – appropriately named “Ouch” – for people who enjoy bondage, dominance, submission, and a little bit (or a lot!) of pleasurable ***. Spanking benches, paddles, floggers, St Andrew’s cross, suspension bed and mummification bag are just a few of the toys in the kitted out dungeon room that will have you writhing in exquisite ecstasy. Bring your partner or find new ones as you happily mingle, play and explore all your fetish fantasies. Photo @The GateHouse
