Pandemonia July

Last night I was at the July Pandemonia event in Portsmouth.

Pandemonia is a Portsmouth based fetish play and dance party held in The Lounge (Club EQ). It's a fairly small event, compared to some of the big London Fetish parties, however it's got a good atmosphere and a friendly feel to it.

It's held on two levels of a club, upstairs is a dancefloor with a range of new and old music (some good 80's tunes included) whereas downstairs is a quiet section and the dungeon and play area.

Due to the limitaions of the venue, if you want to get away from the music on the dance floor, the quiet area is a little cramped with not much space or seating, but that's because most of the space is taken up with the Dungeon. This is partially screened off from the quiet area and there's rope barriers to stop people simply wandering in.

Amongst the toys that are available are a stand-up cage, several of whipping benches of different styles, a Saint Andrew's Cross, a kneeling cage and a bondage chair. As the evening goes on and more people start to play you may have to wait a while if there's a particular piece of equipment you want to use, but that's simply because play is popular at the club.

The dungeon is watched over by experienced monitors just to make sure that things don't get too crowded and to try and ensure that everyone can enjoy their play scenes without interference.

Overall, if you're in Portsmouth on the last Friday of an odd-numbered month, then Pandemonia is worth a visit and at only £15 entrance for a single person (advance tickets are avaialble for £10) it's good value too.
