It was created to stimulate and inspire shibari (Japanese rope bondage) enthusiasts and increase awareness to the general public.
We wanted to provide an environment where skills could be exchanged and to provide a platform for new talent to cut their teeth in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. The Flying Dutchman provides the perfect venue.
A further objective is to provide a shibari orientated social event with rope shows as entertainment. As afar as I know, this is a first in the UK.
In order to be as inclusive as possible, we have no dress code. After all, you don’t have to be into fetish wear to love rope or just be curious. Of course, we positively encourage your fetish finery.
Event created by Esinem, Nina Russ, MoSaru and FDL.
