Torture Garden
It is our pleasure to welcome Torture Garden as one of our new Business Members. Torture Garden is the worlds largest Fetish and Body Art Club. Torture Garden events Attract large numbers of people, anything from 800 to 2600 plus at monthly events in various London venues and they now have a massive international following.
We are honoured that they want to have a profile here with us at Fetish Freedom.
Alan Pelling and David Wood founded the club in 1990 Alan’s background was as an alternative club promoter and DJ new to London, David was a conceptual art and film graduate who had been going to fetish clubs since 1984. Together they were bored with the existing retro alternative clubs and suburban style fetish clubs. They wanted to create a new kind of radical alternative fetish club that combined progressive and diverse music together with fashion, stage performances, multiple environments and visuals. since that original concept they have progressed to adding market area’s and hiring great artists to put on amazing performances at their club nights. All of this and more is now incorporated into one fantastic fetish club.
The first time we went to Torture Garden it was a Torture Garden Birthday party in 1995 or 1996 at the Ministry of sound we did not know what to expect we went with a couple of friends, we found that we just loved the diverse fashion and music vibe that was there at the time, we watched Allen doing his thing on the decks and picked up flyers on the way out – now we were hooked.
The next time we went to the Leisure Lounge in London and it was the first time we had been on our own without any friends to back us up. We remember standing in the que a little nervous, it is a big thing going to a fetish club without your mates when you are totally new to it all! We waited patiently in the que and couldn’t help checking out the people – they all looked relatively normal, it was winter and everyone had coats and hats on, we were a little uncertain if we were in the right place at the right venue. Once we got inside we saw people in their fetish outfits and were reassured we were in the right place. We remember having a great night and getting a CD from Alan.
We then discovered that we did not need other people to go with and have been going to fetish clubs for the last 15 years and having a great time. When you stand in the que these days outside a venue you have no doubt you are in the right place in fact you almost think you have entered another world or maybe Beyond Thunderdome from a Mad Max movie!
TG’s multi-dimensional events cater for a huge range of open-minded individuals from young fashionable clubber to alternative arty weirdo including burlesque and cabaret to sophisticated SM bondage types. Providing something for every-body from age 18-60+, sexual orientation and gender are of no significance, you are what you are. All of this mix Creates an environment that accepts and encourages individuals to express themselves and when you see so many different types of people it makes you realise how everyone is an individual and how a fetish club is so different to your normal night club.
The events are now very theatrical and a lot of effort and attention to detail is put in to bring the themes to life.
The last time we attended there was a circus theme with clowns running around performing spontaneously in the crowds and midget’s dressed in top hats and tails riding tiny little tricycles. In another room there was a Burlesque show and I am sure there was a lot of other stuff going on but as usual I was trapped on the dance floor by the excellent music.
Check out the Torture Garden profile back in the business directory, read their history and check out their photos the next event will be at the Debut club in London a really spacious venue and totally suitable for wheelchairs.

The Circus Of Horrors
We would like to give a very warm welcome to new business member ‘Circus Of Horrors’ If you have never been to see the show you are missing out big time.
The ‘Circus Of Horrors’ is coming to Dartford in March at the Orchard Theatre. We have our tickets already!
If you have never been to see the show you are missing out big time.
The wildest show on earth, gory, sexy, amazing, funny and very entertaining they have a long list of tour dates touring all over the country so it’s not too hard to find one near you.
The show contains some of the greatest, most bizarre & beautiful Circus acts on earth. From dare-devil flying trapeze to a vampiric crow woman suspended only by her hair, from whirlwind roller skaters to sword swallower’s.
All this plus pickled & bendy people, Voodoo Warriors, Knife throwers and an almighty cast of 26 of the wildest, weirdest but most of all greatest performers on earth.
A night out at the ‘Circus Of Horrors ‘is an excellent way to spend an evening and a must for all those who like a different style of theatre. They tour around the world rocking and shocking wherever they go!
Everyone is so professional there is a great variety of acts and characters to entertain you, even when they aren’t involved with the act at that time they never forget they are on stage and being observed.
I just loved it so much the first time that I went that I go every time now the ‘Circus Of Horrors’ is in town or nearby and am never disappointed. I also see some of the same faces they seem to have their own cult following now.
I would say it’s not PC, It’s not family friendly. It is a fun and a very enjoyable show with a hell of a lot of skill on stage and in the air! The show contains some nudity & language of an adult nature, it is not suitable for children or people of a nervous disposition, don’t take your gran!
The music is great too a mix of gothic rock, heavy metal and punk some of it written by them, and all really well put together, An absolutely brilliant show!!!!
To find out more visit The Circus Of Horrors profile you will find them under several categories in our Business Directory check in Exhibitions and Events.

Club Rub
Saturday 15th of January is Club Rub night and the theme is Military.
If you have never been to a fetish club before Club Rub is a great place to start and some never leave! always a different theme that is not compulsory but good fun to get into.
Kim is your hostess and puts every effort into making the night a great success, giving as many people individual attention as possible and forever tweaking and changing things to keep it fresh and current.
This time it is at a new venue and there is always a dungeon area, plenty of seating for socialising and a dance floor to get your groove on. Resident DJ’s Rob Parish and Irish Pete are almost always there and put on excellent sets. Everyone at Club Rub is friendly right down to the doormen all hand-picked by Kim and the atmosphere is great.
Check out Club Rub’s profile in the business directory for more info.
Here are a few outfit ideas for the Military Theme.
Full latex military or an authentic dress uniform. Military Police, Generals, soldiers. Sexy Girl Soldier, Rambo. Storm Troopers, MASH (mobile army surgery hospital) commando’s, Marines, Guardsman, fusiliers, Dragoons, Paratroopers, Navy, Sailors, G I Jane, Jedi Warriors. You could just add a military T-shirt to your leather trousers or a bandolier bullet belt. Add a baton, club, truncheon, hat and handcuffs to finish off a Police uniform. Add a couple of stars to the collar for a bit of bling.
Make it sexy or fetish and your in.
