So we are thinking of taking the plunge and going back to Eurekas during the day this weekend. Can anyone let us know what it’s like compared to a few years ago when we regularly went? Do many people go now during the day and what is the mix like? What’s the atmosphere like? Is the food any good and food/drinks reasonable prices? Are all the facilities open etc etc
Many thanks for any advice. |

We went a few weeks ago during the week, mid-day. It was fairly quiet but a lovely sunny day so we didn't mind. Still managed to have a bit of fun in the woods and on the grass field. We mainly came for the facilities and getting a bit of action was a welcomed bonus.
Mostly older public and mostly men that were there.
The food really wasn't great at all, and kind of wished I took my own.
The place is dated but when it's a hot day it's definitely worth a visit having the outdoor space. |

We went on Sunday 17th July for first time in nearly a year and enjoyed the pool area for sunbathing - friendly people and also people using the fields to sunbathe and more - we are going on Saturday and staying for the party in the evening too |

Kind of thought it would be like that. If we go it will be with friends but always nice to chat to other couples rather than sit in a virtually empty field except for single guys! Lol |

There are single guys who sit in the field and observe the couples - there is a roped off area for couples in the bottom field so you can enjoy outdoor fun although there may be an audience from a distance |

"You can't beat it on a nice sunny day x we tend to spend the whole day in the bottom field in the roped off couples only area x well worth a visit "
Yea we have been quite a lot before the Pandemic but just wondered what it is like now especially after their 'bad press'. Is it still busy, lots of couples or mainly single guys etc. |

" Pool isn't heated, only 1 hot tub works and the steam room has been out of action for a while now too
Both hot tubs work, but they only have one open each day."
They are large hot tubs and we only saw two or three people in them - think they can seat 8 people easily |

"There is always going to be more single men than couples thats why we use the couples only part of the field x we have enjoyed every visit so far this summer so well worth a go x "
Yea, that’s most clubs that allow single guys in unrestricted but most are very respectful. |

Its a great way to spend a sunny day (or weekend) and I would agree with all the comments made...just to add the staff and guests are friendly, welcoming and respectful, the single men do keep within boundaries and will only get involved if invited...it was my first time a few weeks ago found if you come with no expectations and a friendly / polite attitude you will have a fab time! ...hopefully the weather will be good for a visit next weekend! |

Hi, I’m a newbie and have be thinking of making a trip down to this establishment (Sunday). I am single guy whilst being a little shy as I’ve been a little apprehensive about what to expect but happy to go with the flow. What’s the best approach for me to take? Are single gents frowned upon? I’m somewhat conscious of my dad body and I’m not a tattoo muscle ripped chap that most of the guys profiles seem to be.
Any advice would be gladly appreciated from the community. Thanks in advance x |

John is definitely not a ripped muscle guy lol - yes We are a couple and whilst there are some guys with great bodies there is a real mix of guys and ages. If you are going to enjoy naked sunbathing without expecting more that’s good. Some people go just for the naturism and some for more. If a couple wants more then they will invite. There are playrooms for privacy and some fun does happen in the lower field although only if people are happy with an audience. Couples do play behind the ropes which can be observed from the other side) again respectfully.
If watching stay a respectful distance away - don’t creep up close and startle (as happened to us although an apology was proffered).
We have booked to stay in accommodation on the Sunday night of Bank Holiday weekend as we have been told fun activities are scheduled.
Give it a go and make your own mind up |

We will be there this Sunday but it is the Fet event O&l that day so will be very busy with kinksters.
Pool has been so cold this year. Many moons ago they had both hot tubs going with one being couples only but these days it’s just one tub. Last time we braved it it wasn’t a pleasant experience!
The grounds are good fun |

We're thinking of going Sunday because O&I is an okay event ahd the weather looks glorious. But it's also LAM and that's an event I'm loathe to support in anywar
I noticed that O&I have clamped down on single men attending, I think they realised men had realised it was away of attending without paying a membership |

"If it was anything like last years Lam there it was half a dozen stands!
It will be busy because of the weather and I’m sure the field will be heaving lol"
Its not the traders, its the organiser and his cronies that I have no desire to be around! Shame that Eureakas and O&I (and VA for that matter) feel the need to potentially drag a few extra people in by aligning themselves with LAM |

"Maybe I’m stupid but what is lam "
London Alternative Market. It's a big event in London. O&I is a monthly, sometimes twice monthly kink event on a Sunday at Eureakas. Once or twice a year the 2 events combine bit despite their hype there aren't thst many stalls there |

"Hi, I’m a newbie and have be thinking of making a trip down to this establishment (Sunday)...
Did you get there in the end? If so, I hope you enjoyed the visit. There was a good mix of visitors."
Sadly not I had a very boring afternoon |

Thanks very much for the advice it’s most helpful, and does give me a little edge of confidence, I’m sure once I’m through the door I will be relaxed and will embrace the sunshine on my body, I guess everyone has to start somewhere just as a couple it’s safety in numbers.
I’ve got a few days off at the end of the week so might take the plunge so to speak |
