"Hi there, We have visited a few swingers clubs but are still fairly new and last weekend a gentleman recommended Liberty to us. We have had a browse on the website and although it looks great (as many do online) the fees for the first visit are more than we would like to pay before trying if you know what I mean? The thing is, the clubs we have tried have all been somewhat of a let-down for various reasons (cleanliness being a big one) which is fine when you are talking 30-40 pounds but we are hesitant to put 75+ down on a maybe. So what we're asking (in an incredibly long winded way) is is it worth it? what are your experiences? Thank you in advance for any insight G x" I'd like to think that with us spending a lot of time in different swinging venues and some multiple times, that our opinion is fairly worthy of a listen. We visited 12 clubs 28 times in 2014 and 45 visits across 15 last year, so our knowledge and experience is relatively fresh. So our feedback on Liberty Elite. Bear in mind that this opinion is going to be a subjective one. For us, Liberty Elite is amongst the finest, classiest upmarket swinging clubs you'll experience in the UK. The layout is fantastic! There is a nice bar area with plenty of seating, nice to relax and start chatting with likeminded people. A separate room is the good sized dance floor, a louder area and gives you the option of a dance and a boogie. Pole also there to dance on. A couple of playrooms and a little kink area that is very modern and clean. Upstairs there are a number of rooms to play in if you want a private engagement. However, we never managed our way up there quite simply because of the wet area. Libs has a fantastic, very clean, warm, good sized hot tub, which you can drink, chat, flirt and play. Once in the mood the open area next to the hottub provides you with plenty of double beds to keep the fun going whilst you are horny and don't have far to travel. In the centre of the room they have about four double beds, pushed together for an orgy option. The lighting is nice and creates a fantastic ambience. Staff are wonderful and complement the club. The back of the club is an area to smoke and chill in the summer and a number of chalets where you can stay overnight. Libs is classy and upmarket and yes it is a bit pricey and you pay for what you get. We loved this place and visited over 10 times in 2014, more than any other club and for the above reasons why we loved attending. The fact it was couples only, was for us a USP and the reason we committed ourselves to libs. When in 2015 they included single men, this obviously had a mixed reaction. We gave it a shot and unfortunately we were left disappointed. Typical single guy not getting the message, ruined an intimate moment we were having with a couple. Because of this, we haven't visited since. We appreciate it is horses for courses and not every single man is like this, but the lack of respect to not get we are not interested and to assume was so off putting that we felt, why pay for the nose for this type of behaviour, we might as well go somewhere closer and cheaper and have the same single man experience. I believe single men are only permitted on Friday, which was our favourite day. What has also put us off is the cost of membership, which is £20 per year ends in June regardless. Not 12 months from the start date of your purchase and not pro-rata to June. So these are disappointments for us that seem to have fell on deaf ears and a I don't give a damn about your feedback (how a well paying customer feels). So our recommendation to you is that if you feel uncomfortable with single men, then go on a Saturday. And if you can stomach the cost, then you'll understand why. It is a lovely, fantastic place. But can be hit and miss with attendance figures. If Libs made some serious business decisions, that we found acceptable, we'd definitely be back there enjoying our Friday's and the odd weekend staying over. But in the meantime, we wouldn't go back for personal reasons, but would objectively say that it is a Fantastic place and one of our favourite clubs. | |||
"Couldn't agree more with above This was our 1st club we ever visited and we have been spoilt now as no other club has beaten libertys, Could be worth finding someone on here who is going on a night you were thinking and maybe go on there guest list ??? From what I remember you can do that but check the website, You wouldn't be disapointed with the club it's very clean and everyone is very friendly Xx " R&J make a very good point. You can piggy back on to someone attending and not pay membership on this occasion but if you go again you will have to. This could be a good idea for you and your first visit | |||

"From your post I got the impression you say Libs charge over £75, if i read that wrong then sorry. Although I've never been I thought I'd go check the website as I would like to try it one day. I clicked on the membership of fems and couples and for the couples it basically says £40 when joining and then free entry on your first visit after becoming a member- does this mean you have to pay the £35 entrance cost on the night along with the £45 or because you are a member from then you only pay the £40 and go in, as they say free entry? Like you say £40 isn't too bad to try a club, but I agree £75 is, especially if you don't like it so only stay a short while. " So reading the website would suggest 1st visitors pay £20 admin fee and £20 membership. It doesn't say about paying entry but would assume so. So a £75 investment for the first visit, your next visit is free, so over two visits it works out at £37.50 per visit. Obviously the risk is that you don't like enjoy/not for you and do not want to return a second time, so £75 plus drinks is quite an investment. So the best option would be to hook up with a couple who are members attending as their guests and just pay the £35 entrance. Single women have a better deal as admin goes down to £15 including entry, then next visit is free and then £10 entry thereafter. Quite complex the pricing model, confusing and there's simpler models out there. Granted they mostlg go for the charge the male high, couples in the middle and females the least. | |||

Thank you in advance for any insight G x" Libs is a great club but you need to visit on the right night for younger people. Happy to say more and give our experiences, but please pm us. We recommend you check out this thread in the forums also, https://www.fabswingers.com/forum/events/450687 This is THE party for younger couples and you are not required to be a member if on the guestlist, so it will be cheaper. Chat with the promotors of the night "Deviantz" if you want more info. They are a great couple, we've known them for 5 years and are very helpful. HTH | |||

"Libs and VA are our favourites, and we did go on Mrs Deviants birthday bash a year or so ago too. Very clean, except peoples minds We don't get to go much now, but if it was £75 we would pay it rather than £40 elsewhere. The cost is soon forgotten. We wasted £30 for five minutes in Paradise club before we left. Now that is expensive" Well said, you do get what you pay for at libs | |||

HTH " You do get what you pay for indeed and at the end of the day you want to see value and a return for your investment. Sunset strip has made a very good point about the night. We know many of the crowd that visited the chic launch party and even if there were only 10 of those couples attending, we're confident you would have had a great night. The guys are launching their second party in February, so would probably strongly recommend that if you want to make that investment & have the wow factor, not from a club, but from a crowd perspective, then put your name down for this night. But ultimately it is really down to what you want from a night, busy/quiet, dance/chat, wet room, single men/couples/fems, age, preferred day, type of play etcetera. If you want pm us what you are looking for and we can offer some guidance x | |||

"Wow thank you everyone for the feedback and those who pm'd. It definitely sounds promising. We are thinking about attending next weekend. Are most people generally happy with participating in soft swing? It's just I'm (g) massively nervous! So far we haven't actually played with anyone else as we haven't had that attraction yet and I'm a little insecure! " Many people play in many ways.. Dont sit in a corner and expect people to come up to you, be proactive and approachable - stand by the bar, enjoy a dance, ask others questions.. Just be honest with your play experience (or lack of?) and see how things pan out. But the best way, is to have fun together and show others your having a good time, and this breeds confidence. Dont do anything you dont want to do, but be open to ideas.. Enjoy, have fun and good luck. | |||

" There will be no pressure from anyone at the club, and if you do feel pressured then please inform the management and it will be dealt with. The whole idea of the club is to provide a relaxed environment for their customers. Just have fun and do what you want to do. Nothing more. | |||
"As a single lady whats the club like and first time " The club is beautiful. Amongst the best and we've been to a few!!! What's it like? Well when there are single men, no different to any other club! On a Saturday when it's couples and single women. Again no different to any other club. You will get attention regardless! It's just entirely down to yourself how you handle it. Everyone should respect that no means no and that each person has different wants and needs. As long as everything is clear from the start, you will have a blast! But don't feel pressured, soak it up and enjoy! xx | |||

Embrace them when they are coupled with the excitement, as the more you do it, the less nerves you get. One thing I really miss now! As you have already been to some clubs (don't know which) you should have an idea how they work. You haven't played yet, so clearly you recognise that there is no pressure to play. This also rings true of Libs. Speak with people and go from there. When the time is right, it'll happen. We are a full swap couple. Some full swap couples only want full swap. Some really don't mind. We don't mind. We love it all with the right people and you'll be pleased to know that one of our meets in Libs was with a drop dead gorgeous soft swap couple and have to say that it actually was better than some of our full swap experiences. So it's definitely on the cards! xx | |||

As a younger couple since Ade and Bridgette left and the hotties parties stopped it lacks atmosphere and numbers. Which is why we now only go when Deviants do a party. | |||
