Torture Garden: March Ball, Brixton, London March 9, 2012, 12:28 p.m.

When you’re not sure what to do this weekend, don’t give in to the ordinary. It’s all too tempting just to head to the cinema, out for drinks in a bar or in fact, just stay in and watch some television. As much as this is completely acceptable, the majority of the time, there is in fact some exciting things that go on in the city, that are just waiting for you to explore. We recommend that you stay in tonight and put your feet up, because tomorrow night sees the opportunity to delve into the depths of one of London’s top alternative nights out.

The Torture Garden March Ball opens its doors for a night of naughty fun and provocative entertainment. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, then take note. Situated at St Matthews Church, Brixton Hill, London, (SW2 1JF), this old converted church, once a chapel of God is now a house of sin. Tomorrow night (Saturday 10 March) sees the Torture Garden host one of their frequent fetish nights; a collection of regulars and perhaps some new faces. Aptly named Mass, the March Ball is the opportunity for fans and followers of this monumental fetish event for a mortal meet up.

Expect performances from burlesque beauties, show-offs equipped with rubber and bondage and an array of circus freaks that will make your jaw drop to the floor. If you’ve never experience a Torture Garden event before, then be warned. This gropetastic event is not for the faint hearted. If you are expecting to turn up in your regular threads, then think again. ‘Strictly no street clothes allowed’ the dress code reads. Translated, this means dress to impress. Latex, drag, burlesque, fantasy to the mere extremity of fancy dress; this is the place to explore and express one’s self.

A step through the threshold and you will instantly transported into another place. Gone are the standard scenes of nightclubs across the city, this is another world. Dance floors are filled with party-goers dressed in their outfits getting to one another as is done here. Everyone is very friendly; don’t be intimidated by the dress of the attendees. Don’t be misinformed though, this all about dress-ups, pervs and kinky shenanigans, the entertainment and spectacle is what keeps people coming back time and time again. Music genres include disco punk to retro house. So, for those looking for a thumping, energetic evening of dancing the night away, then this is for you.

Originally founded in 1990 by Alan Pelling and David Wood, this hedonistic event has been a success ever since. It’s reputation has rocketed not just here in London, but throughout the UK and world-wide. The dominatrix escorts in London are familiar with the Torture Garden and have experienced an evening like no other at one of their many events.

Officially known as a fetish club, since its launch, the Torture Garden have found new ways of introducing new members and followers. Underground cultures here in London are fairly common and the club has since fused with other cultures to bring a crowd of unique people together. This diverse and distinctive affair is exactly what you need to spice up your Saturday.
