We're pleased to present the latest in our series of Sensations events in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. As always, we offer hours of socialising, networking, learning experiences and play opportunities, with nibbles and soft drinks supplied, and a wealth of dungeon furniture and other kit available for all to use. Seven hours allows ample time to chat to friends (old and new) and perhaps indulge in some play. It's an early start for a Sunday but it suits the domestic timetable. The weather forecast is kind so the outer playspace will be operational and the eight-seater hot tub nicely warmed up.

There is plenty of detail in the HarrogateRnB group elsewhere online and in this profile - check the stickies in particular - but please don't hesitate to get in touch with specific queries.

A typical event centres around people chatting, whether catching up with established friends or making new ones. Comparing toybags is a popular activity and informal workshops demonstrating toys or techniques are commonplace. We don't get involved in arranging play, but pre-agreed scenes or casual, pick-up play are always possibilities - we operate a closed door/private, open door/discrete watchers welcome policy. Please use the RnB Group to start or add to a thread relating to play plans or hopes; it's sometimes considered poor form to message other guests on the Guest List prior to events.

There will be three main play areas. Potentially available are a pillory, solid cage, whipping post, two St Andrew's crosses (one double-sided), bondage/suspension frame, pillory and two spanking benches. Smaller items of kit include a violet wand, vampire gloves, a wide arrange of impact and toys and many different restraints.

The event runs from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon, allowing folk to dip in and out as their timetables allow. There is no obligation to stay any particular length of time, engage in play or supply anything. We are firm on safety and politeness but otherwise run a relaxed event that is ideal for newbies and veterans alike. Usual etiquette applies, such as being sensible, adhering to EOIF (Enthusiastic, Ongoing, Informed Consent), welcoming all categories of kinkster, and so on. We pride ourselves on the number of 'firsts' that have been achieved over the years (eight now) that we've been hosting events.

As mentioned, light nibbles will be available plus assorted soft drinks. Any exotic food or drink should be brought with you. As per the stickies we don't expect contributions but anything for the communal food/drink collection will be most welcome; any unused items can be taken home or left for future events. Please take suitable precautions for hot, sunny weather.

We’ll be running a ‘swapshop’ whereby kinksters can get rid of surplus or unwanted kit (no lingerie or items previously affected by though); no monies will change hands but guests are welcome to take away stuff. Corsets are likely to feature heavily, as DebbieR downsizes!
