We're going on Friday, not going to Hellfire club, but open to any offers from other couples Friday or Saturday night,.
Not long to go now, looking forward to a fun filled weekend just undecided on outfits due to the weather forecast! We've currently got thunder and lightening in Bournemouth, not Basque friendly!
To all those going on the Saturday we plan to find the lounge and grab a drink when we get there!
They have shows on from 2:00 at the various stages and if previous years are anything to go by seating goes quick!
Hopefully we will have a chance to say hi to fellow SH'ers in the lounge. Guessing people will tend to congregate there after the first shows have finished....in which case see you in the lounge!
We are going on Friday and going to the after show party, would love to meet some sexy people!
Will be our first ever trip this Friday so should be an experience. Looking at the floor plan there seems to be a lot of empty space.
anybody going tomorrow Friday that wants to meet up please let us know and we can sort out a time.
We went Friday, was well worth the visit , great fun xx
I was there the Friday briefly , though the Friday is traditionally quiet felt it lacked the atmosphere and also the location is a bit out of the way compared to when it was at Olympia.
Some sexcellent shows and products. I'm stocked filthy for a bajillion years .

I'll give you a free pen n pad n squeeze if you see me n 43st I'm not easy to miss.
Great weekend, great show, met some lovely people and had a giggle in the lounge. The heels didn't quite stay on all day though!
Personally thought the atmosphere was better at the dock than previous shows at Olympia and look forward to 2014. Hellfire was an experience (so was getting a taxi).
Anybody there today, is it busy for a final show day?
Hi all, we attended erotica on the Saturday got there around and it was very packed....we went to Olympia in 2011 and in our opinion Olympia was a better venue... More space and the shows were easier to view.. There were many more exhibitors and a lot of them this year were packed into little glass boxes.. If more than a handful of ppl occupied these boxes then it all got a bit pushy and shovey... I (tel) felt like I was back at the NEC at the annual bike show which is just like that... Also noted was a few 'undesirables' in the form of a few groups of lads a bit pissed up and generally extracting the Michael out of the products and the ppl trying to buy them.... Anyway.. We bought a few bits and bobs and enjoyed the S/H lounge, although we sat with two other cpls no one said a word to each other!!
On to the hellfire club.. Which as others have said is a little out of the way and is indeed on an industrial estate... The garage that fixes poorly cars opposite had their lights on and were busy hammering away at a bumper or whatever when we arrived...maybe they stayed late to maybe catch a glimpse of stockings or boobies... They would have been disappointed anyway as the entrance was virtually pitch black.....
Once inside we were greeted with a big smile and what I can only describe as a pair of tits on a shelf!! The hostess has an impressive rack to say the least...and promised to find us later and exchange kisses.. Which unfortunately didn't happen.... The main room was so hot... And the queue to deposit your drink not very encouraging to a newbie cpl at this club... The poor girl behind the bar was perspiring all night with the drink demand...some ppl dancing and what not... Then the first of a few CPls squirreling themselves into a room... And locking the door behind them... We watched as they got down to it.. Which was cool... We wandered about a bit and found the 'dogging car' which is a massive American almost limo type thing... With a creaky door... No one inside... So into the dungeon... Just a guy fingering his girl on the bench thing as about 10 other CPls watched in silence... We went back upstairs and a cpl were playing in one of the side rooms.. Which incidentally had no paper or cloth towels to use.. Everyone was clothed, Jules asked if they needed a hand and the girl, who was lying on her back sucking her partners cock as she used a rabbit in herself said yes please... So we played with them as others watched... That was the general feel of the place... Ppl liked to watch and play with their own partner but no one seemed to want to get it on with others... Which we found a tad strange as a 'swinging' club?
We attended our first club about 6 weeks ago and by contrast we preferred that... Not to say we wouldn't go back to hellfire but vanilla alternative just seemed a bit more professional.. The layout was better.. Hot tub was fantastic place to chat to other CPls and the play areas more suited to people watching...
Well I've rambled on a fair bit now and it sounds more like a review... Did anyone else attend hellfire Saturday night?
Attended both Saturday n Sunday, both were happy days full of people enjoying themselves. I don't agree with the poster above re Olympia being a better venue, I rather think the catacombs of Tobacco Dock trumped anything that Olympia ever offered save for perhaps the floor space for the main shows. What a fantastic venue Tobacco Dock is and I'm sure if more people return to Erotica next year (no event last year) it will be bigger, better with more exhibitors/shows/events. I luuurved the dungeon feel to the place... I even happened by chance to meet the overseas owner/landlord of the place cos as I was batting my eyelids to a back door security guy (me pass was lost in action in me bag) the owner was being held steady at the door until the security guys had managed to establish he was actually the owner...oops! Still, whilse he was waiting I gave him a SwingingHeaven flyer n a pen and he even managed a smile before his entourage whisked him off to wherever. I reckon he'll be online before the end of the week.
The main show limited as it was..well, the girl on the Pole was feckin amazing, just awesome, the fire-eating females were pretty neat also as was the last guy doing acrobats on bit of a metal frame. Plenty of other stuff going on, got some great videos...there were female/male couple on opposite sides of the walkway, statue like, the male today made me jump when he came to life n exposed himsen (pic on profile and not it's not his real todger)
The SH lounge brought some people in, it was the pens n pads, they were popular *smiling* and lets hope the offer on the flyer brings some more to the fore here, can never have tooo many. I've burrowed some of the flyers away and they'll be making an appearance here and there...like my local Waitrose, or when I'm sat on Santa's knee in Debenhams, I just know he's a swinger in waiting.
Only downside for me was right at the end me man had a bit of a wobble and went off his feet and somewhere along the line managed to lose the car keys, but them very nice ppl at the Dock management office found them for us and with the aid of Sat Nav I managed to find my way out of London and on to the M1 and the drive home...a round trip of 252 miles.
Well worth a visit was Erotica 2013 and for all the right reasons one of them being *shows off me new G-Vibe* buzzzzzzzz!
Noooo, dat was the vibrate on me phone....obviously! *smiling*
We had mixed feelings about the whole thing. Had sort of hoped that having started the thread back in April that it would of gathered a little more momentum than it did. That's not a dig at members or organisers/contributors just hoped it would of received a little more input having been read nearly 6000 times. We do appreciate however its an open forum and not everybody wants to post something up and advertise the fact they are going.
As for the show, after reading the comments above, from another thread on here and speaking to others that went, we agree it could of been better but we still had a great day. In terms of the amount of stalls/vendors it was never going to match the previous shows at Olympia purely on a size basis. In echoing previous comments it was a new venue. The venue itself we thought lent itself much better towards Erotica in terms of atmosphere than Olympia. As previous people have posted any recommendations as to how to make Erotica 2014 any better then send them to the shows organisers as hopefully we will all benefit.
We flitted in and out the lounge at various times throughout the day on the Saturday (in between the various shows) and said hi to a few people, sorry to those who we didn't get a chance to meet (was wearing shiny legs and really uncomfortable heels). The lounge was a nice idea and thanks to all the guys involved in manning it/making it happen, the show was definitely better for it.
We didn't get to Hellfire until 12 and must of missed the welcome drink in our rush to get out the rain!
After the initial queue for drinks and tour we had a great evening, met some new friends and had an even better one! Thanks guys :-)
Wouldn't rush back to Hellfire but guess it was an unusual night in order to give it a fair chance.
Erotica 2014....would be rude not to!
So is there a SH lounge then for all of us to meet up ??
