Big Balls Subversion LFW party is forced into 11th-hour venue move.
Big Balls, the Subversion mega-party on Friday October 6 that should be one of the highlights of this year’s London Fetish Weekend, has been forced into a last-minute venue change.
But according to the event’s organisers, the Vauxhall venue has just decided not to honour the booking, which had been made almost a year in advance.
“As we were well on our way to selling out, this was a huge shock to us,” said an LFW spokesperson.
“We tried everything we could to reverse this decision, as we wanted to minimise disruption to the weekend and its fabulous guests.”
Sadly it appears all these efforts came to nought. Fortunately, however, LFW has been able to move the Big Balls party to another venue that has a long tradition of hosting kink-friendly events.
The new venue for Friday October 6 is Islington Metalworks — better known to many as Electrowerkz, home of famed goth night Slimelight and many recent Torture Garden parties.
Metalworks’ multi-roomed layout will easily accommodate all the features originally planned for the Big Balls night at Fire. And its location just around the corner from Angel Tube station is great for public transport (buses and 24hr Northern Line).
On the right is an updated summary of all the events and venues involved in this year’s four-day, tenth anniversary London Fetish Weekend.
Note: Some events have a strict fetish dresscode, and all events are 18-plus.
