"Wife and I are going to visit Abfabs for the first time on the 21st. Both very excited. What would be your tips to make sure we have the best night possible? "
You are going on a couples night and you will be under no pressure from anyone to do anything.
It’s a big club and you will find it takes time to familiarise yourself with the layout.
Early in the evening people congregate in the lounge area. Later they tend to spread out and the cinema can be quite popular.
Take your time, watch what’s going on, find a couple to chat to (there’s no obligation to do anything), wander around and see what takes your fancy.

Thanks for responding and the helpful reply. Do you know if the spa area open as part of the party? I.e. should we pack some towels?  |

As much as you'll likely see others play in pool or hot tubs don't be tempted the staff walk through regularly and you will run the risk of being ejected from the building.
Other than that as others have said chat to people, take your time and remember playing with others isn't guaranteed.
Have fun. |

X"
Hi. Kesterals and ab fabs are one of the same, kesterals is the daytime fun, naked if you like. Naturist spa with all facilities open during the day, pool, hot tubs, cinema, dark room, glory holes. Bdsm room, bar and lounge. Can get busy nice to go and chill and relax. Ab fabs is the evening party place same facilities, just busier generally and couples only sat night. If you've not been it's worth a visit |

Bloody hell that's a bit steep. That must have been a recent change as I swear I never paid that much before.
Makes you wonder why it's £25 a year when you consider you don't actually get anything for the membership other than to pay full price to attend a members only club, it's not like the entrance fee is particularly cheap. |

We’ve been to many clubs and have memberships at them and this is the most expensive one (£50 per couple) |

Membership is actually cheaper than it used to be. Used to have to pay £15 per year for AbFab & £15 per year for Kestrel. They’ve now combined both for £25.
Some private members clubs who charge triple that for membership alone. |

Its a real shame as the £50 membership for couples ( no couples membership you have to buy 2 single ones ) this puts off so many couples going would be great if when you purchased your membership you get free entry on that day / evening? |

Try attending as a single bloke and having to pay £25 more then a single female, even cheaper to enter as a couple than it is a single guy.

Totaly agree its a great place & we love the club the only issue is the membership + entry for a day / night out is very expencive for your first visit. If they let you in for free on the day you renewed or purchase your membership lots more couples would get to try it & not be put off by the £100 cost to try AbFabs
I am sure if people tried the club they would come back

All we can say is that it's been bloody cold in the pool recently, so much so that the notices exclaiming "No Sex in the Pool" were surplus to requirements lol |

Hot tubs are always hot but as the pool is cold or closed they get very busy we stood in the corridor for ages waiting to get in one gave up in the end. Went to play  |

FYI : attendees of the London Surrey Social (held at AbFabs - I think once a month!?) get FREE annual membership.
It may be worth considering for those put off by the membership cost. |

Re Membership:
Taken from the Club`s website.
We do offer a one visit trial membership for £15 per person, on top of your entry fee. You will need to complete the membership application form and bring ID. If you wish to upgrade to full membership at the end of your visit you will be charged the additional £10.
If you leave without topping up and visit at a later date you will be charged the full £25 for the annual membership.
The trial is only open to new members who have not visited before. |

"I’d like to try kestrels during the day. What’s the general vibe - is it busy, are people open to chatting with a single guy, do people play or is it more like spa??
So many questions lol"
Is it busy? Depends on the day, but usually more men than women or couples.
It is both spa and swingers club. Some people go there to just chill, some people like extras.
Whether or not people are open to chatting to single men depends on how the men present themselves and what the others are looking for. |

"When did they get a sauna??
They have always had one, as far as I'm aware, just it's hardly ever on."
Never had a sauna. There’s a steam room in the gents changing rooms. It’s on during the day when it’s asked for. |

I used to attend the old Kestrels site, but hoping to go to the new one soon. Gallery/videos look really good!
For all of those who remember the old site, what's your verdict on the new Kestrels? |

The old kestrels had the sun garden (s) and that was fab. Other than that the new one is fab too with more space. Great bar, Dance floor and cinema. The pool is fabulous and the hot tubs great. it’s a shame that there isn’t hot tubs in the pool area like the old premises. I also used to like the TV (television  ) rooms in the old one, bu there is a spacious dungeon, dark room, glory holes too.
on balance I used to attend the old one more often so I was more familiar with it, but the new one is pretty amazing too. |

I'm going for the first time tomorrow Weds evening (though that's Kestrel not AbFab, not sure it makes a difference)
Thankfully I'm going as a couple and not on my own. I'm hoping that it will be good crowd and that the place doesn't get unexpectedly shut early again |
