The Vanilla Alternative

Rating: OK
We have both been to the VA separately in the past, so attended the daytime WWW event as a first as a couple.

This is a fantastic club with great facilities.

The bonus yesterday being the fact that the sun did make an appearance that allowed the Lux Lounge to be open (a novelty for a sumners day in August !).

Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere perfect.

We will definitely be back when the opportunity arises.

I went to my fist www daytime event here and it's a great venue. They were not sure if the outside would be open due to a wet morning, but but on cue it brightened up, and outside space in the sun was a hedonistic view of intertwined bodies around the pool. The inside spaces were all clean and fantastic to chat and play with all the other friendly guests. I'll definitely be back. J x

Visited the club for the first time yesterday for the www event and it is hands down one of the best venues I have ever been to. Easy to locate, the hosts were amazing and the various section were great fun to use. Will definitely try to attend more events there

I visited the club for the first time today, not my first club, but definitely a favourite after today. Staff are brilliant, bringing snacks out for lunch was unexpected but very welcoming.

Excellent facilities and very clean. The clientele that I chatted with were all friendly and really nice. Special mention to S & her partner S. Likewise to B&J

Will be going again next week. Guys give this venue a visit you won’t be disappointed.

The perfect Club for a summer weekend get away. 1 week on now and fully recovered after attending the Booty Camp Festival of Fun for the duration Thursday through to Monday in our converted little camper. Could not of asked for better location, be that in a camper, tent or motorhome. The staff had everything thought out and organised brilliantly. Talking about organised, must give a huge shout out to all the staff who put every effort in to make the whole weekend brilliant and made sure that even when the rain rudely gatecrashed plan B was swiftly put into operation and wasn't going to stop a fantastic weekend.

Perfect outdoors facilities that naturally flow through into the club itself. Fantastic band entertaining everyone outside on Saturday night followed by top class DJ inside to keep the party going into the early hours. Sunday may of been a chill out but the party soon picked up again when Saturday nights DJ started doing his stuff outside in the Lux Lounge. Absolutely class long weekend, definitely be booking up for next years FOF evidently VA Olympics :-)

Thanks again for a great getaway.

Really sad to hear about Lloyd (the Boxer dog) hope he is recovering and lots of snuggles to make up for the loss of tug of war x

Attend VA for our debut on 12/08/23 after reading positive reviews. We had a great time. Good layout, good sized bar area with lots of social areas. Lots of communal play areas and a large pool/hot tub area like a Roman bath! Attractive people all about in various states of uninhibited undress. Friendly faces all about. A sexy atmosphere with a sexy dance or two. Great music and no pressure to take your pleasure! We will be back x

I attended this year's Festival of Fun, which is my 11th in a row. This festival honestly is the highlight of my year. So much varied entertainment, something for everybody, top notch DJs plus the indoor and outdoor hot tobs. A relaxed vibe in the campsite,(situated in the clubs grounds), easy access for motorhomes, caravans and tents plus people coming and going staying in local hotels or with day tickets.

A variety of meals were available including veg/vegan options, and the menu changed daily.

Regardless of the weather plenty indoor and outdoor, covered areas. I think everybody had the most fantastic time and the booty camp theme was very popular.

My most memorable time was when the foam party they got moved to the indoor hot tub room, it was just amazing, everybody dancing and laughing in the foam.

A big shout out to the owners, managementband team for all their extremely hard work.

Already looking forward to next year..

Recently attended their Festival of Fun! We took our camper and stayed for the entire weekend! We had an absolute ball! The campsite was close to the club so you don’t have far to go if you’re not in the hotel itself. The club has loads of open play spaces and a pretty cool dungeon. It’s a bit of a trek for us, but one we’d happily do again! You can tell the staff/owners make a point of keeping everything running smoothly so you can really relax and have fun!

Where to start with this club….we met here over 6yrs ago and we loved the club then. Most recently we have attended the Ibiza weekender though sadly only the last day. I (F) recently went to meet friends at FOF while Dragon was away at work and I had a great time. It was a non stop party from when we arrived! The people were amazing and great fun! The camp set up was fun with lots laid out to do.

Both Friday and Saturday had great DJ sets on and I even enjoyed attempting a spin on the decks myself. Although a complete failure ;)

We will most definitely be found at future weekender events! Please drop us a veri/message if we met.

Till next time !

Attended VA for the first time this weekend for the FoF.

What a beautiful club! It's a gorgeous building, done up, maintained and decorated brilliantly and the garden by the river is just so serene and I loved walking around it bare foot (which is a good job, as I left my boots outside in the rain)

It was such a shame it rained so much, as it did effect the socialising a little, but the friendly staff worked their arses off to put in place their wet weather plan and ensure everyone still had an amazing and memorable time.

Oh, and the foam party in the hottub! Wow! I shall not forget that for a long time.

I shall be coming back!

The VA always always goes that extra mile and their weekender - Festival of Fun - Booty Camp 2023 was no exception. This event is where friends new and old meet for a great weekend of fun. All guests embraced this years military theme and it’s fair to say military clothing is very sexy.

The attention to detail turning the club into a military zone was sheer brilliance, creating a wonderful environment for likeminded people to come together and have a throughly good time. Plan B saw the enemy (rain) retreat and the troops reported to the officers mess (club) where DJ Courtney, VA resident DJ Mark Eldridge and DJ Andy, created the wildest party vibe that had the troops shaking their booties. There were workshops held in the bunkers which allowed people to learn more about different Kink genres. Naughty fun games were played in Parade Square and the foam party transferred inside due to rain and was a mass of bodies writhing around each other in the hot tub room.

Finally…… we cannot sign off without mentioning Team VA, who work together in unison creating a truly wonderful place for likeminded people …The planning that goes into the weekend and the sheer hard work executing the delivery of these weekender events is what stands the VA out from the rest.

Thank you to all involved this year, you well and truly smashed it! Big love from Para Dos xx

I attended the Festival of Fun on the Friday evening, and the booty camp base which the club hosts had prepared was spectacular, although I didn’t get to stay the whole night and into the morning, from experience, the Vanilla Alternative always draws a great crowd of people together, and unforgettable memories for most, if not all. Plus if you are like me, and like open play rooms, you get to see all the naughty fun happening around you whilst you yourself are having fun. XXX

This was our first FoF and we loved it. We will defo be returning next year.

Music was great like been in Ibiza. Great mix of people and everyone was in the mood for fun with all the playing going on.

Neon party on the Saturday night was wild and one of the best nights out we’ve ever had.

Wow. The Festival of Fun weekend was amazing. The weather tried to cause havoc but the troops (staff) worked their socks (and many items of clothing) off to make sure we all had a fab time. The foam party was unforgettable ... party because we disappeared in the foam. Not to worry though, there were many helping hands to assist :). The workshops were also great. We now have a shopping list of things to buy and try :)

My absolute favourite club and that's because of all the hard work of the VA team. They go above and beyond to make sure that you have a fabulous time. This was my second year at FoF and it is my absolute favourite event of the entire year. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. From the indoor foam party, being tied to a tree, sexy guests and dancing on the deck to the awesome DJ. Fun, Freedom and Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks guys and gals x

Attended the fof what a weekend it was. Loved every minute of it (even the rain). So many amazing people. The Saturday was by far the best experience I have had in a club anywhere. The foam party is still making me laugh now. The band was outstanding and the dj kept us all dancing from start to finish.

All the staff were so helpful and friendly. You can see the amount of thought and effort they put into it.

Thank you for a weekend to remember

I attended the FOF on the Saturday with a daytime pass. The weather was atrocious but that didn’t stop the fun and activities. There were live workshops, a DJ, a lady entertaining us with dancing - she didn’t stop, she had so much energy! - and lots of guests joined in and were dancing on the decking area and around the outside pool.

An inspired move, during the afternoon, was to fill the inside hot tub room with foam. It was awesome! So many people crammed into the pool, up close and personal on the floor and dancing and squirming on the play beds. You had to pinch yourself to believe you were actually there.

Outside, the band in the evening were brilliant and everyone sang and danced to their music all night. Neon was the theme, and guests went out of their way to dress up and join in the theme.

A constant stream of music in the club meant the dance floor was packed all night. And of course, lots of naughtiness going on in the play areas.

A superb way to spend a Saturday… it was fantastic.

Thank you Jules, Chris and all the gorgeous staff for all your hard work and for your cheerful attitude and helpfulness. X
