Event Rules and Code of Conduct

Creating a comfortable and welcoming experience for all attendees is very important to us. To help us create this space, we have established a code of conduct that all attendees must follow. We kindly ask that you take a few relaxed minutes to fully read, and absorb, the code of conduct below.

General rules:

Consent is key. All attendees must read and agree to follow our Consent Guide.
Guests must be aged eighteen or over.
Be respectful and courteous to people running the event, as they are there to assist and ensure your safety.
Respect members of the public when arriving and leaving the event.
Exercise discretion in the outside smoking area - avoid nudity and sexual behaviour.
No public play outside the venue is permitted.
No outfits or imagery that are likely to be triggering to people from marginalised ethnic groups – for example Nazi uniforms or swastikas.
Do not judge other attendees’ sexual preferences, desires, kinks, acts, bodies, or appearances.
Remember the goal is pleasure not orgasm.

Event organisers will be on hand during the event and are there to assist you – you can spot us by our glowing armbands.

Sexual health

You must be responsible for your own (and each other’s) sexual health, including using appropriate contraception and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Latex condoms will be provided, as well as lube and wipes. You’re also welcome to bring your own protection and sanitary supplies. Guests are not required to provide any proof of sexual health, but we encourage everyone to get a sexual health check before attending Menagerie events. This can be done easily at a local family planning clinic or sexual health centre. More information about local sexual health services is available on the Brighton & Hove Sexual Health & Contraception Service website.

Ticket refunds and transfers

We can refund tickets up to one week before the event. We can only transfer tickets to other people who have been vetted to attend Menagerie events. We can transfer tickets up to 48 hours before the event. Tickets are sold in pairs and both ticket-holders have to attend together - if either of you is unable to attend then neither of you will be able to enter the event, and we will be unable to offer a refund.

Event entry

Doors open at 7pm and close at 8pm. The venue bar stops serving alcohol at 10pm. You must be fully clothed when you arrive. Tickets are sold in pairs and both ticket-holders must enter the event together.

Code of conduct

We want everyone at Menagerie events to feel comfortable exploring their sexuality and desires in a safe and supportive environment. We ask that your conduct be guided by the desire to help us create an inclusive, welcoming, and joyful environment free of shame, judgement, and stigma. Comments, actions, or behaviours which demean, harass, or insult others without their consent are not permitted. This includes those which target a person’s race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, physical appearance, or ability. Event organisers reserve the right to summarily eject you and your companion if you violate a person’s consent, act in violation of the rules or code of conduct outlined above, or otherwise behave poorly. If someone causes you to feel uncomfortable during the event, speak to an event organiser or email us at menagerie.parties@proton.me. This code of conduct is neither exhaustive nor complete. It serves to distil our common understanding of a safer, welcoming space.
