This is a sumptuous swingers club and hotel in Bedfordshire on the A1 not far from the Capital. The VA aim is to provide something exclusive, somewhere upmarket, somewhere that's a "bit of alright" for discerning adults to meet and play together! The very experienced VA management team have an insight into what is growing into a more open market and have worked very hard to find something that ticks all the boxes. From the private rural location, the licensed bar, the array of play areas, the enormous hot tub, the on site hotel rooms, the extensive dedicated car park right down to the warm smile, the personal care and attention you get from a team who know the lifestyle inside out! No membership fees till September 2011 whilst phase two of the quarter of a million pound refurbishment programme is completed. Phase one will be complete for the grand launch on Saturday 26th February. Please visit the website www.thevanillaalternative.co.uk for details of events and to register on the mailing list. Make your next party a VA party! | Rating:

| We went to VA last night and had the best time, from the moment we walked through the doors until being amongst the last to leave!
The club is the perfect blend of sexy and elegant, and the layout flows brilliantly, with a welcoming bar area that's perfect for chatting, an amazing dance floor, and beautifully designed play spaces.
The whole night felt like being on holiday at your favourite destination, relaxed, exciting and filled with great people. The atmosphere was buzzing, welcoming and incredibly sexy. Everywhere we looked there were smiles, laughter, dancing and people genuinely enjoying themselves.
VA has a very special energy, creating the perfect space to connect with old friends, make new ones and just enjoy all the moments. We honestly can't wait to return for more events, and it's looking very likely that VA will become our new sexy Saturday tradition!
A huge thank you to Jules and the entire VA team for creating such an amazing experience, and special mention to the gorgeous Matt and Natt for helping get the gang back together and reminding us just how much love, friendship and fun this community has to offer.
See you all again very soon! ?? |

| Wow what a top night out at VA, 1st visit for me with the popping candy group. So glad I went along to this night as ive always wanted to go and bloody hell it didn't disappoint at all. What a beautiful club, modern fresh and absolutely full of amazing people. What a great feeling for the owner to take her time to have a good chat with me and put me fully at ease with her kind words. For many years my home was another local club but not anymore wow. Makes that place look shabby lol. Wow really can't wait to be back to that club and I know full well the popping candy collective have found a new home now.
Fully recommend this club to anyone in that area,hands down the nicest club ive been to in the uk. Amazing bar at reasonable prices, great car park and a very warm welcome when you arrive.
What else could you ask for.
Thankyou to the owners and popping candy for an amazing Saturday night wow. Xxx |

| I'm going to love doing this review for many reasons, but what a fantastic night! so many poppingcandie faithfuls out in force, really enjoyed the fantastic set up of Vanilla Alternative.
I cant wait for the next episode on the fantastic journey forward for the best crew.
VA has change quite a bit since i last went, but an excellent re configuration to a very clean and tidy, well run club. I got to chat to the boss also :-) what a lovely honest club owner she is.
Will I return? Hell yeah.

| Not a club we have been to for a long time but went tonight as a large group of friends attended was welcomed as soon as we walked through the door by staff who quickly booked us in. Club very very clean and well decorated as well. Bar prices the same as you would expect to pay on a night out but plenty of shots flowing as well. Really enjoyed tonight and look forward to coming again |

| Still buzzing from absolutely amazing three days at the Festival Of Fun in glorious sunshine.
This has to be one of the best events on the lifestyle calendar. The VA team knocked it out of the park, club and lux lounge presented immaculately as usual, camping area and facilities all on point. All staff happy, helpful and friendly. The events team did a superb job keeping everyone involved and entertained. Live band were brilliant and DJ sets faultless and floor filling. A lot ….and I do mean a lot of sexy fun was had by everyone, all day and everyday. Nothing not to like 10 out of 10 |

| Heading home after yet another FANTASTIC Festival of Fun at VA2. Honestly these weekenders just keep getting better and better. The safari theme was so much fun and the weather was perfect all weekend. Being in such a safe space, surrounded by relaxed, happy people who are all part of the lifestyle in their own way is just magical, having an entire weekend to make connections is even better. The club and garden all looked wonderful, and the play was on point! Thank you so much to all the hardworking team for bringing this together and congratulations to Chris & Jules on their wedding. See you in August! |

Run through Claude
We had a wonderful time at Vanilla Alternative this bank holiday weekend! Jules, Chris, Emma, Danny, Karen, Steph Izzy, Brian James, Colin and all of this May’s Festival of Fun hosts, the whole team created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere — their attentive service and beautifully organised event made everything feel truly special.
The perfect long weekend — laughter, music, fun, games, competitions, and so many playful, like-minded people. Thank you for making our Festival so memorable. We’ll definitely be back in August — the excitement is building already.
We loved meeting so many new people, and if you remember us, please do send us a message so we can verify you. It was equally lovely catching up with old friends, which made the weekend even more memorable.
Whether relaxing and soaking up the long weekend vibe or enjoying the entertainment and activities, there was something for everyone — and plenty of fun people to play with along the way!
The courtroom of Judge Jules was so funny and the wedding of Chris and Jules officiated by Lola was very moving and special.
Thank you for making our visit so special — we’ll definitely be back in August.
Love NotPoshorBecks

| I attended the best swinging festival Friday "festival of fun" I highly recommend this event it's the highlight of my year.
This year was no exception not as busy as august for obvious reasons, the perfect weather for a safari, the staff and owners pulled out all the stops as always to turn the garden into the Serengeti and the crowd were the animals and hunters amazing outfits as always.
Great party games from James, Ben and the team.
The little things like the flying pigs being painted as different animals.
The bar staff were friendly and efficient, the DJ was on point and the dancefloor was full as always.
Everyone walking around with huge smiles on their faces.
I'm only sad I could do 1 night, already booked august and outfits planned.
Thanks for letting me come and see you all soon.

| This is long overdue. I attended White night on the last Friday of April. Brian and the team were incredible hosts.
As a single guy I was slightly nervous, but that all changed immediately because everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I was fortunate enough to play with two hotwives which totally blew me away. I got very lucky. Such a great club; lively people, clean surroundings and an amazing night. Can’t wait to go back for other events. |

| Had a really enjoyable night at VA last night.We usually attend the big parties so it was great to experience the club in a much more relaxed environment. As always club and staff were top notch. Busy enough for an erotic atmosphere with lots of very sexy people. We made full use of the playroom by the hot tub. Looking forwards to our next visit xxx |
