A sad end a to a truly enormus effort by Jake and his partner. I went to a 'Warped' evening and I was the ony attendee. I realise most people prefer to conduct play behind closed doors but for those who enjoy and have enjoyd the facilities at The Vault, its a great loss to all kinksters in NW Lancashire. As is the case all remaining events will be packed out. Brilliant but too late !! Dial my number 8, talk dirty and see our friendship develop by fate. | |

Such a shame, the place is absolutley fantastic inside I honestly hope something turns up for you (indeed if a lottery win runs my way I'll be running towards the vault) "Luck! Ha! It's rude isn't it..." | |

I'm devestated, especially since I've only just started to attend. I don't know about anyone else but I'd have been willing to pay a lot more to keep the place going. | |

Am really sorry to hear this. Was a wonderful venue and obviously a lot of work had gone into it. Thank you for what did do. | |

Very sad news indeed. It was becoming the best club in the NW. For several reasons I've not been as often as I would have liked, but had hoped to get along more in the (now not to be) future. But thanks, Jake for all the effort you have put into it - it has been appreciated. Tomorrow - the best labour-saving device of today! | |

Hello all As you can see from our profile we are very new to the BDSM scene and went to our very first event at Afterlife in February. Being new we have found it difficult to grasp the jargon and format of the scene however, we have spent a fair amount of time trying to understand some stuff and have to say the we understood that The Vault was for the gay BDSM scene and being hetro had no desire to attend however, judging by the posts here it would now appear that this is not the case (please correct us if we are wrong) and rest assured we would have supported The Vault events had we have realised sooner. We are sorry that we wont have this opportunity now and only hope that the decision to close The Vault does not impact on Afterlife, which we have so far enjoyed attending and will continue to support (we will be there again in May). Is it possible someone could explain the the arrangements at the venue as we find it difficult to understand i.e what is the connection between, Blowing Wild Club, The Courtyard Bar, The Vault and Afterlife?

Hi Colang The vault is a pan sexual venue, which has different themed nights catering to various kinks and sexual orientation. Details can be found in the website link towards the bottom of this page. When we close the vault After life will carry on as it was before. On a seperate note i would like to thank you all for your kind comments, its tuely been an amazing experience for Jake and I, one we wished we could keep going longer. For those asking is there any way to keep the venue alive, beleive me we have explored all avenues. However overheads far outweigh the income, and i fear we have past the point of no return. Of course if an investor wishes to discuss a bail out plan we are more than willing to listen, we dont want the community to suffer if we can help it. For clarity i would like to list the events we have left, as we wont be able to afford to open on 'General Opening Nights' Saturday 11th April : Rubber Bolt Hole Party (9pm - 4am) For all into rubber / pvc etc. Sunday 12th April : NWCP Club (5pm - 9pm) - For men into CP Friday 17th April : Club Kruze - Male Dress Code Night (9pm - 4am) Friday 24th April : Midnight (9pm - 4am) For all non dress code - hopefully this will be mega so book early Saturday 25th April :Animalz (7pm (vip) or 9pm - 4am) For men into furries/pup/pony/lycra/leather/rubber/pvc human animal play All the details are on www.vault-uk.com Good luck to non Vault organised nights TS & Tinks After Life party (1st Saturday of each month) Sparkyies Pony Day (23rd May) Hope to see you all soon ! and thanks to all you guys out there who have supported us in our short business adventure !

Real shame to hear, glad that Afterlife will still be able to make use of the venue though. Jake I am going to drop you a memo re hire. |
~ give you some financial breathing space, so any possible investors have a chance to come forward.
