'Unprecedented' number of people turning to swinging at ... (Liverpool Echo)

Townhouse Swingers, in Birkenhead, has been open for business since 2005, with married couple Vicky and Jim at the helm since 2012. More than 25,000 members ...

The club boasts a "massive" LGBTQ+ membership as well as thousands of people from the Fetish/BDSM community. We have some people who fly over from Ireland for our MILF Mondays event in the morning and then they fly back in the evening. The gas and electric to heat and light a four storey building is huge and, like everyone, our prices are going up. We have club buddies who have been coming to the club for a long time and understand how nerve wracking it can be and they help them get settled in. [ECHO](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/) : "Across the country, they reckon there’s probably over a million swingers who attend clubs and parties regularly, and the North West has actually got the largest number of clubs in the country. Vicky said: “We have specific events for newbies where they can come in and meet regulars. While there are a large number of swingers clubs based in the North West, many people travel for miles to visit Townhouse. We also have people coming from Europe, especially from Germany and the Netherlands because they’re very liberated over there.” If people don’t want to get involved with anything, they don’t have to. More than 25,000 members have passed through the doors of the Union Street club over the past 25 years and the venue has reportedly been "rammed" since all covid restrictions were dropped last year. Vicky said: "People come from anywhere. But you’ve just got to suck it up and when you’re thrown a curve ball you have to adjust and that’s what we've done."
