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:

| I was back at Onyx at VA for their latest event, and it reminded me exactly why this club has built such a great reputation.
From the moment you arrive, it's obvious this isn't just another venue. Everything about it feels authentic. The owners clearly understand the lifestyle, and they've created a space where people can genuinely relax, be themselves, and enjoy the experience without judgement.
The event was brilliant. Great music, a fantastic atmosphere, and a crowd that made the whole night even better. It's one of those places where everyone seems to contribute to the good vibes.
The team deserve a huge amount of credit. The hosts somehow manage to be everywhere at once, making sure everyone feels welcome, safe, and included. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the evening, they have a way of making you feel like part of the community.
A massive shout out to the bar staff for keeping everyone smiling and the drinks flowing. And to the barman... congratulations. You now officially know what a proper tequila is and how it should be served. You're welcome.
The club itself has been so well thought out. The social spaces are comfortable, the play areas are well designed, and everything feels like it has been created by people who genuinely understand what makes a great lifestyle venue.
One thing that really stands out is how well the club manages the balance of guests. It's refreshing to visit somewhere that understands just how important that is, because it creates a relaxed atmosphere for everyone.
A special mention has to go to Brian on the door. Always smiling, always welcoming, and the perfect person to start your evening with.
Onyx at VA is quickly becoming one of my favourite clubs. The latest event was another fantastic night, but it's the club itself and the people behind it that keep me coming back.
Now I just have the painful wait until 21st August... |

| Well Karen and Danni did a great job running this event. Emma was managing things very well. Jules and Chris made me feel very welcome. It was my first time at the Onyx event and I enjoyed it so much as it was really hot and lots of great people. The bar staff were rushed off their feet and did a fabulous job. I will definitely be going to this event again.

| 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 |

| I have just attended the festival of fun at this club and can only say it’s the best festival in the UK.
I have been coming to this festival for 3 years now on the August date and made the May date my first time this year.

| 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 |
