Oh my goodness where to start. Just home from the fabulous Festival of Fun weekend and wow what a weekend. Just such a fantastic atmosphere and so much going on. The workshops, the DJ (thank you) for helping me on the dance floor lol.. the band and the absolutely amazing staff you are all fabulous, everything was just awesome. I’m so lucky to have this club on my doorstep, its classy, friendly, and above all a very safe environment for a single woman. This is my fourth FoF and it just gets better and better each year. Looking forward to the Weekender end of August. Much love to you Jules & Chris xx

I have attended fof and multiple other events, this place is one of the best run clubs in the uk i have ever experienced, the staff will do everything to make sure your visit is amazing. It is clean, well maintained, the pools are always clean and you can tell the staff and owners are doing it with passionate hearts.

Thank you for such an amazing club.

Our second Festival of Fun and yet again an absolutely brilliant weekend.

We met so many lovely people, old friends and new, tried some new stuff at the interesting day time workshops (wax play, shibari, fire play, BDSM etc) and danced to some great tunes.

We love the atmosphere at this event and having 2 or 3 days to get to know people. Striking up conversations in passing as you walk through the camping field etc. It’s just a brilliant way to make friends in the lifestyle.

There were not as many attendees as last year, but still enough to make for a great weekend. The main camping field was set up well with a cordoned off path for emergency vehicles, lots of bins & extra loos.

I know some of the reviews below have suggested that attendance may have been down due to the price increase, but it might be for other reasons too e.g. last year post COVID everyone was desperate to get out and party, and also more people have gone abroad this year - or a whole raft of other reasons. I work in events and the price of everything is going up at the moment and businesses can’t keep absorbing these costs - the club spent days setting everything up and they do need to make some profit on top of covering the costs for marquees, loos, barriers, electric, water, staffing for set up, the event itself and the breakdown afterwards, cleaning products, drinks, the band etc so we can’t expect to pay the same this year as last year sadly.

The foam party was a much better set up this year with a marquee to contain the foam, we just needed more bodies to pile in lol.

I think a chalkboard of “what’s happening when” across the weekend by the gateway from the camping area as you go into the venue might help because we all kept forgetting lol, and ideally also emailed to attendees a few days in advance.

Would love it if we could have a live band on both Friday and Saturday next year if possible as this really does get everyone together and dancing in the marquee before piling into the club. We were gutted to miss the bands first set this year but they started early and loads of us were still getting ready.

Overall we had another fantastic weekend at a great venue, with great people and we will definitely be back!

Massive thanks to Jules, Chris, Brian, Lee and the rest of the team for another brilliant weekend and for all your hard work.

What a bloody good weekend I've just had at VA's Festival of Fun. The staff and owners are the absolute best. Even Sam who is a very bad influence and makes you carry on partying! The band were incredible on Saturday night, the atmosphere was brilliant in the marquee.

Where else could you be tied to a tree one minute, having a B12 injection the next and then having a full STI check in the next breath! Non stop dancing, partying and debauchery all weekend! Still my favourite club around!

Our first swinging experience some years ago and our go to club for a long time, we were really disappointed with FOF this year. With such a large jump in costs we expected better showers, more organisation of pitches and improved safety especially with such hot, dry conditions. Issues around pitch spaces from the start with many people having to move tents & vans multiple times. The Program of entertainment was haphazard and despite conflicting instructions, the weekend was saved by the friendliness of most staff and the fabulous people attending. A real pity as FOF is always highly anticipated each summer.

Lee…never stopped. Hats off to you, Brian and the lovely lads on the gates for all the work you put in & sure many others did too. We have to be honest, this is our last FOF because we compare what’s been on in the past, it’s so expensive now for camping and one live band. Tons of room as attendance was well down on previous years yet ‘valued customers’ were squashed up & tiptoeing over crammed in tents to get to the toilets and main entrance. Timings were off, we looked forward to music we could dance to (because like at least 50% we are in a demographic of enjoying a mix of current music & that over the decades not constant house). Live band started 30 mins early & lots were still getting ready. Jacuzzi outside was unfiltered & minging all weekend. It was brilliant to have extra toilets and the outdoor shower was great. Foam party wasn’t a party, no promotion or switch up in music. The club is now tired, to see during the day when you’re sober; it’s scruffy & has dangerous dangling electrics. Shame it’s not kept up with other clubs as it used to be classy. We had a brilliant weekend with our friends but you got no bang for your buck in terms of the festival this year sadly.

What does one say? Where does one start? Many thanks to the Team at The VA for organising a great Festival of Fun event. It really was love Island, the weather was scorching and the clientele were as equally hot! But many thanks must go to the VA Team who must have worked tirelessly before during and after the event. Fantastic music from DJ Eg and his entourage of DJ’s who had the music rocking all day making the club electric. We loved the live band and all the different work shops, from wax play to spooling to ropes to even having Botox injections if so required. Many thanks to the catering crew who stopped us going hungry and all the bar staff Sam, Lee etc who kept us hydrated. Please, please do FOF next year, it’s an event not to be missed. And lastly many thanks to Julie & Chris because without you two it wouldn’t be possible xxx

We have been to the VA on many occasions and stayed there as well. We always have a great time and can safely say the staff is brilliant. It's definitely at the top of our list fior nights out. If there was a request we would make ot would be to have private rooms for play on party nights. X

VA, VA they should have definitely named you twice. Been a few times but last night was out of this world. Crazy, unadulterated sex with beautiful people in a lovely venue. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for looking after me 'Fuck4you'.

My second visit but my first in a long time, it’s changed quite a lot and for the better. It’s smaller than other clubs but perfectly formed. The lack of private rooms is refreshing and gives every encounter an orgy feel, the social areas are well appointed and the new outside area is huge! Will definitely be returning
