Alternative Sex, Culture and Literature
Following the awesome Spring Fete in April we are back at the Vanilla Alternative to take advantage of the great weather to have another outdoor shopping event with beer garden and food. The event is ticket in advance only and may well sell out given how popular the last one was. Tickets are non refundable unless you are symptomatic and need to isolate and non-transferable.
We have secured the use of the outdoor facilities and grounds of a site with no neighbours to worry about. The site will enable us to set up and outdoor market with stalls covered with their own gazebos, our hosts will provide an outside bar and BBQ with plenty of space for those who want to picnic and catch up with their friends while maintaining your appropriate social distance.
If you are symptomatic please do not attempt to attend, you will be rejected at the door.
Everyone who comes onto site will be screened for temperature, above 38C will result in secondary screening via non invasive pulse oximetry, fail to have a blood oxygen above 90% without valid medical reason any your whole party will be denied entrance to the event and your tickets refunded. All guests, staff and crew will be screened to reduce the risk of anyone asymptomatic getting on site and guests are requested to be mindful that different people have different needs and standards for social distancing.
We will have some of the finest fetish fetish artists and craftspeople on display with a range of clothing, accessories and toys for a rich and vibrant shopping experience. Our traders are known for their quality, knowledge and friendliness some of the many reasons why we support them. LAM has always been more than just shopping, its one of the easiest way to develop your kink skills within an open and accepting kink+ environment.
BBQ – All food is locally sourced and supports small businesses wherever possible in local area. Our meat all comes from the local butcher, salad and veg are from the farm shop.
Entertainment
As performances are once again allowed we have booked two fine acts to entertain you, we will be welcoming to the stage The diva of whips LadyVeil to crack things off with a whip medley and later we will have the flaming hot Lilly Lunatrix lighting up the stage. The performances will be at 3pm and 4pm, we will also have “stage performance” of Healthy Mental Practices Live at 2pm to make the day as “normal LAM” as possible.
There is amble parking on site for 100+ cars with amazing access to major transport routes. We are investigating public transport options but it would be a Saturday rural service at best.
There will be no play area but there is plenty of space to bring blankets and have a picnic (so long as you comply with the guidelines at the time).
We will install a wifi network to enable the drive through shopping and will try to extend that through the social area with a solar wifi network.
Toilet facilities are available on site but the outdoor nature of the event means it would not be suitable for indoor wheelchair users other than the drive through video shopping.
Details of the location will be sent to ticket holders only as a PDF prior to the event. Well behaved dogs on leads are permitted so long as their owners agree to be responsible for them.
Best dressed
As the weather is going to be awesome we are holding a best dressed competition. All you need to do is dress to impress and be on site by 1:30 when the winner will get £50 in on the day shopping cash.
