Queer, kinky and consent-firstUnderground clubbing, sex positivity and queer liberation, deep in the tunnels beneath Bristol Temple Meads.Club Love is a members-only queer kink and fetish night held in the station’s former Ash Pits, where sprawling tunnels and raw Victorian brick set the scene. It isn’t a swingers club, and it doesn’t want to be. It’s built as a deliberate alternative to mainstream swinging culture: queer-centred, gender-fluid and run on radical consent. Strictly 20+.The musicThey book artists, not genres. Expect house, disco, tech house and breaks with a hedonistic edge, from DJs and performers who come from the LGBTQI+ community.What to expectA dance floor, chill areas and play spacesConsent that’s verbal, enthusiastic and ongoing, plus a traffic light safeword system in shared spacesPlay spaces for couples and groups only, with a supervisor on the doorA cuddle room for rest and aftercareA queer-led well-being team trained by Bristol Drugs Project and Bristol Nights, visible all nightCondoms, dams, lube and clean-up supplies in every play areaNo phones out, everDress code: fetish, not fancy dressThink leather, PVC, latex, harnesses, collars and pup gear.
