	Another fun filled Festival of Fun run by the hard-working Vanilla Alternative team. Such a beautiful clean club, with gorgeous grounds, it's always a highlight of my year to attend the festival. I particularly enjoyed the new permanent seating area near the back of the club, where there were DJs playing under the stars and we were all dancing and having having a great time. That foam party was also a highlight, and I loved that it was in the afternoon like last year as it was warm and I had time to change into something more sexy for the evening entertainment. I can't even start to imagine the amount of hard work and planning it must take to put on anything like this. Thank you so much for providing it for us all and roll on next year. Date: 8 August 2019

	We booked and attended the VA festival of fun last weekend. The amount we paid for two nights to attend the club and pay for camping was not great value given the facilities available, in the main two toilets for the amount of people attending was without doubt not sufficient. Also the tents were pushed together quite close and with a contained fire left unattended one evening was quite dangerous. The music on site either by the club or personal guests went on far to long, 4am so sufficient sleep to be able to enjoy the festival was impossible. We have been to this festival at least 4 times previously and this was by far the worst. That said we did ha e a good time due to the people we knew and met. Date: 7 August 2019

	We have been to many festivals of fun, and have noticed over the years the prices have increased and entertainment less.. Bring back the days of the inflatable marquee and the burlesque dancers and pods for playing in, such a waste of space for one band or deflate for extra space for campers... As a camper for 3 years now I felt more unsafe than previous years, dreaded going out to the bar in the dark for drinks as there were no lights in the camping area and so many guide wires overlapping each other, it was so dangerous and unsafe a real trip hazard. The closness of the tent also raised the issue of fire and the apparent absence of any fire fighting equipment should the worse happen Shame the club doesn’t open Friday and Saturday daytime for a private Lap dancing club, obviously at extra price per couple.. And please more toilets and showers, in this lifestyle it’s important to have good cleanliness. I do appreciate the club tries to get people away from their tents and into the club area and this can be a difficult task, so maybe bring the party to the tents. We are all arm chair experts at running a club, but please take this as constructive criticism as we wish the Fof to be nothing more than a huge success. Date: 5 August 2019

	(posted on the VA F of F forum post too) Have attended F of F for the last 4 years and it is a great club, and certainly one of our favourites in the UK, but we did have some concerns/reservations about this year's festival which we hope will be taken as constructive criticism. None of these concerns have arisen in our previous attendances there. The positives.........the club (as previously mentioned), the live music, the foam party, hot tubs and above all else the other guests. What we were less happy about this year.......... 1. On arrival with our friends (in a separate and similar small tent which was set up near to us) we put up a shared small gazebo. It was just large enough to cover seating and a table for the 4 of us and measured just over 2.5m square. We were approached by a member of staff and told that we had not pre-booked a gazebo so it had to be taken down. We pointed out that the gazebo was no bigger than the seating area for 4 people. He agreed that the seating area was a modest size for 4 (and our tents were much smaller than many there) but that according to rules it could not be covered. We didn't think this was logical or reasonable but dismantled it anyway. 2. Toilets/showers - Maybe 150 people there as a conservative estimate perhaps? In previous years we've had the use of the 2 showers inside the club adjacent to the jacuzzi. Not so this year. The door was locked so just 2 indoor and 2 outdoor showers. Maybe not too important as we took the attitude that we would just wait and get one later in the day. More importantly the door to access the inside male / female toilets inside the club (through the BDSM area) was locked at times through the weekend leaving just the 2 toilets to cope with demand from 150+ guests. It's ok to wait for a shower but often the need to go to the toilet is rather more urgent & this isn't really good enough when you've paid £170 for the weekend. 3. Noise - We understand the need for entertainment as an important part of what you pay for but blasting out over the campsite till 4am in the morning surely isn't catering for the majority? It was particularly an issue on the Saturday night when we had a 4 hour drive back home and needed to leave as early as possible on Sunday morning. One of our friends on both nights went to sleep in her car in the car park for some peace. Surely a 1am or even 2am limit isn't unreasonable? Swingfields have a midnight curfew on noise and organise a silent disco for party goers that want to party into the night. 4. Safety - As a fire officer of 27 years experience I did express a concern about cramming the tents/caravans/motorhomes so close together (to the same staff member who was unsympathetic about our joint gazebo). He was completely unmoved by my professional concerns. Whilst we can appreciate that profits have to be maximised at these weekends, perhaps there are other considerations to take into account? Recommended UK Gov guidelines concerning Fire Safety on campsites and published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in 2008 (updated 2015) points out that “A fire can destroy a tent in less than 60 seconds” “On average 360 fires per year occur in caravans” and recommends that `'caravans and tents are at least 6 metres apart and away from parked cars to reduce the risk of fire spreading" Many tents at VA this year were no more than 12 inches apart. Apart from the obvious problem of not being able to move freely between them (or escape easily?) due to guy lines, if a fire happened in one it would very easily and quickly spread to a adjacent one and there's not many tents that don't have gas cylinders within or vehicles that don't have fuel in. If you accept the fact that fire can destroy a tent within 60 seconds, and the possibility that alcohol is to be factored into the equation, the risks perhaps outweigh the considerations for maximising profits by fitting in as many persons as possible into the available area? Fire recommendations also state that the maximum distance between a fire point and a tent should be 30m and that fire points should be easily accessible and conspicuously marked ''FIRE POINT''. There were none. There were also personal BBQ's that were left unattended and with burning embers into the early hours of the morning. Not too difficult to imagine a scenario where a breeze would spread sparks into a nearby tent/motorhome/caravan perhaps? We hope the event continues and wish VA every success but we don't feel comfortable or safe attending next year. Date: 5 August 2019

	Visited as a solo trans woman on a couples/women only night on 27th July and was made to feel so welcome by staff and swingers alike.

	Previous visited this gem of a venue a coupe of times for twisted and fell in love with the place, proper night club atmosphere. From the moment you walk up to the entrance you will be treat with respect and kindness by all the lovely staff who go over and beyond their call if duty to ensure you have a memorable experience. The place has rooms to cater for all tie desires and requirements from the most desirable dungeon Romi to the play rooms all of which are decadently furnished. When the parting has you worn out you can relax in the most inviting hot tub always a place to be full of happy party people, all their facilities are clean well and well maintained. The bar is properly licensed well stocked with a good selection of beverages overlook my most enjoyable part of the club. The dance floor and pole. Had so much fun gyrating around it and even learnt a new move from some of the lovely ladies in attendance “ bruised legs though “, think they called it pole kiss lol. Thank you team for such a delightful night and the delicious food looking forward to attending again soon Date: 27 July 2019

	Been to the VA the last 2 Saturdays, on our first visit we were made to feel very welcome, were shown around and put at ease immediately, we had lots of naughty fun, especially in the hot tub. However the music was so bad! If nothing else it was a conversation starter..... and we had a bit of a rude awakening when the lights went on full power, right in the middle of our fun, perhaps a time warning would have been a good idea, as it can be hard to track the time in there. Our second visit was during the freedom UV party, so much fun, great hosts, the music was so much better and again, lots of naughty fun. We’ll defo be back, maybe looking at coming to the next Bi night. Definable a clean and friendly vibe x Date: 22 July 2019
