How can I attend the parties ?Anyone wishing to attend our events at The Lifestyle Lodge will need to meet a criteria that reassures all our guests that they are meeting people who are active within the swinging lifestyle and have displayed a minimum level of swinging lifestyle etiquette. You will need to inform us of any profiles & usernames you have on sites like Spicy Match, Fab Swingers, Pineapple App or Fetlife as this will help you in being able to attend our parties. You will need a minimum of 2 meeting verifications from sites like Fab Swingers. If you do not have any of the above this lesser your chances to be able to attend. Our attending system helps us to maintain an even gender balance and ensures verified and respectful, etiquette savvy lifestylers from various scenes can attend our events.. We also ask all guests attending to bring a form of photo I.D that will be checked against the details you give here as an added security measure. All our regular guests place faith in us to ensure that only vetted & verified guests from the lifestyle attend our events.

What does "Verification" mean?As swinging lifestylers within the scene there are a number of social swinging lifestyle websites that cater for likeminded people, some of the most popular sites are Fetlife, Spicy Match, Fab Swingers, Social Swing, Pineapple app or Swinghub app, to name but a few. People can create profiles on these sites and meet likeminded others, but they also, after meeting others, allow you to verify each other. This is what we ask for when you apply to attend our events as it ensures us that you have met people within the lifestyle and have displayed to others within the scene of an understanding of swinging lifestyle etiquette. You will find The Playgrounds on these and other lifestyle websites. If you would like to ask more about this, please feel free to contact us here

Can I still attend if I have no profiles or verifications ?Yes you can if you are a couple, single lady, transgender & single gents. But we will need additional information from you, such as full name/s and resent face picture/s. Along with a brief summery of why you or both wish to attend our lifestyle parties. This will ensure us that you are who you say you are and are wishing to attend for the right reasons.

There should be no assumption that previous playing with a person or group indicates permanent or future permission during the evening or on other events and permission should be confirmed on each occasion. 7. No always means NO and correct etiquette is not to question any individuals answer. If someone has asked you to stop doing something, you should do so immediately and leave the area or stand back.
