I am very new to the scene and am planning to visit the London Fetish Fair on the 8th August. Is it a good place to buy toys, jewellery etc? Is the after party worth staying for? Would love your advice. thanks DV x | |

Definitely worth a visit! If you have not been before then the format is turn up (pay a small entry fee -can't remember how much it is, a fiver perhaps?) wander downstairs and start mooching around the stalls. A common tactic seems to do a quick once around, followed by a slower second lap with beer or wine in hand. Neither market is that big but its a nice place to see things, ask questions and meet people. On the latter, if you are relatively new to the scene then it can be worth shouting out to find out who else is going so that you have friendly faces to meet up with and quiz (perhaps SecretSmile is going again?). Lastly there is often a small demonstration and then an after-party (nothing too raucous). LFF is set in some vaulted under-ground rooms so has a good atmosphere whilst LAM used to be a bit larger and their demonstrations used to be a better (subjectively speaking) and their after party play area was larger too - that said they have moved venue and I don't what the new place is like).

Went to my first ever LAM today, and my first LFF for years a couple of weeks ago - I prefered LFF as I was disappointed by how few stalls there were at LAM. In LAM's favour - Jacks Floggers In LFF's favour - Jed Phoenix (love Jed), Trussed UK, E-Stim. I also like the fact that the LFF bar is on the same level as the stalls. | |

markets are a better place to buy toys than shops in my opinion Pavement? Wowee Zowee! | |

well I hope its good its my first one ... Defiled is my name full sore Through cruel spite and false report That I may say for evermore Fairwell to joy, adieu comfort For wrongfully ye judge of me Unto my fame a mortal wound Say what ye list, it may not be Ye seek for that shall not be found..

We'll be there selling fetish equipment and jewellery, as well as mens and womenswear, and lots of fun accessories. We will be running the workshop at 3.30pm which can be good to sit and watch and get some ideas, particularly if you're new to all this. We always enjoy meeting new people and are very happy to show people how to use our products - for us that's part of the fun of doing the markets. You can get a feel for our products and workshops by watching our free videos at www.freakclubwear.co.uk We haven't stayed for the afterparty ourselves as we have to pack up our stall then face a long drive home but it is a great place to see other people play, and if you want to try scening, visiting parties is the best way to meet people for casual play.
