Club Lash Manchester is one of the leading fetish establishments in north-west England. Its monthly nights attract kinksters of all persuasions, with a particular emphasis on those who are new to the BDSM and fetish scene. Four women established Club Lash Manchester back in 1998. The goal was to create a friendly, welcoming space in which BDSM beginners could meet others and explore their fantasies in a safe and stimulating environment. While the Club Lash Manchester website states that the venue is not a sex club or swingers club, it adds that it welcomes 'polite perverts.' Respect and diversity, and of course, consent rule at Club Lash Manchester. The owners recognise that kink venues can be intimidating places for newbies, and assure all visitors a warm welcome. Club Lash Manchester's nights in Ashton under Lyme have proved hugely popular. The club also occasionally hosts larger events in Manchester city centre. The focal point of Club Lash Manchester is its impeccably equipped dungeon. The dungeon also has a viewing area - perfect for the voyeurs amongst us. The dungeon features a St Andrew’s Cross and a Rack, along with other smaller pieces. Whether you are into flogging, bondage, spanking, or just a little tickling, this is a great, non-judgemental space to indulge your fantasies. Watersports and anything else involving bodily fluids is not permitted. Full-on nudity and genital contact are also out of bounds. Full details on the dress code are available on the club's website. But you'll find people in leather, rubber, PVC, lingerie, cross-dressing, and character dressing attire. The club encourages character dressing, with a range of themed nights. Sleek, sexy, and decadent, the main space at Club Lash Manchester includes a large dancefloor, where you will find resident DJs, Midnight, DJ mini-jinny, and DJ Spindles. Expect everything from rock, to industrial, pop, and dance music to get you into your groove. A generous-sized bar area provides ample seating, where you can chat with fellow kinksters. And there is a covered outdoor smoking space. The entry fees for Club Lash Manchester are £15 for non-members and £10 for members. Membership is just £10 per year.

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
