It is with deep regret that the Committee have reached a formal decision to postpone Swingfields 2017 until 28th June 2018.
This Festival is an event we love dearly and the enjoyment of hundreds of guests who have built and grown the weekend with us into what it has become, means that we have taken this decision with heavy hearts. The press and their brutal invasion of privacy has caused a significant decrease in bookings, not helped by “trolls” who feel the need to comment and add negativity to an event they themselves never attended, but we are determined to not let them destroy the Festival and all it stands for. But the many impacts of their actions landed blow after blow, with some Clubs withdrawing their support, as well as our DJ’s, Fetish team, and potential venues to hold the festival.
The team has reacted above and beyond the call of duty by using these challenges to re-invent and re-design the Festival, to build on our hugely popular features but also to fully REFRESH and invigorate the entire weekend. Every year so far we gained more and more positive overwhelming support and enjoyment and even in 2016 with 10 days of awful weather, and the press issues, and challenges we faced, the VAST majority of the 700+ guests loved Swingfields and the friendships they forged.
The simple basic fact is that we were simply NOT willing to offer a substandard event and the decision was therefore made to take the pressures away and plan it “long” for 2018.
It is vital for us to clarify some important facts before the “keyboard warriors” try and wade in. Firstly, tickets are STILL fully valid for the 2018 event. For any guest who has paid and wants a full refund please email enquiries@swingfields.co.uk with the email you used to book with and the date you booked and the ticket holders name, along with bank details (account name, number and sort code) These will be processed by the end of May 2017. Requests for refunds must be made by 1st May 2017.
For those refunds not requested we will transfer full ticket terms to 2018 without any additional charges. For those wishing to purchase tickets for 2018 tickets are IMMEDIATELY available here. Similarly, our sponsors and food vendors can keep their bookings valid for next year.
Swingfields is a festival for lifestyle groups, run by lifestylers, we are proud of the journey so far, and proud of our guests and how this event has grown to become the biggest UK lifestyle event, built on feedback and input from those who have attended. We don’t want this event to die away because of a small number of vindictive people, when so many have a good time so TOGETHER we will work tirelessly with you all between now and Summer 2018 to bring this award winning event back and make it BETTER than ever before.
Thank you to all of you for your love and backing since 2013, we knew we could do it....but we couldn’t have done it without you.
Ticket holders will be emailed later today
