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.

| 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.
So glad that I did.
Had a an amazing weekend, such a week run club, amazing staff, games and entertainment all day and night long.
Music on the nights is top notch and the DJs by far the best round in any club I have attended.
I will defo be attending the August FoF.

| 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 |

| We went to the Saturday Seduction party on the 9th May 2026 and for our first ever experience it was perfect. Emma picked us up and put us at ease we met Brian who's frequently mentioned in the reviews and is the font of all knowledge and provided us with words of support and guidance. We will be back.

| I love the whole setup of this club. Wish we had this kind of club closer to home, well there isn’t any clubs in Essex at the moment, who knows maybe a great opportunity for VA3 lol. The club is kept very clean & lovely decorated, With lots of areas to play. If you do stay at the local hotel, the ease of the shuttle, specially as a single lady takes away any needed stress of dealing with taxis. This time we stayed at the hotel on site, which is great clean rooms fresh towels. The staff are amazingly friendly & helpful the music it was great lovely chatting to you, Mr. DJ before you set. Will you be reintroducing the Sunday lounge this summer ? I love a day session till next time thank you for a great evening x |

| First timers at VA2 for their couples 'White Night' and had a blast. Club is lovely, clean, and safe. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. As it was only the second time we've ever been to a club, everything was still shiny and new lol! But we met some lovely people and had a great time. Cheers. |

| Went Friday night for the first time.
Was told it was quieter than usual but actually for a first time that was quite nice.
All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the tour round first was very helpful. Thanks Brian.
Met lots of fab people and chatted a lot to the more experienced among them.
Unfortunately I couldn’t stay for the whole night but still had a great time and looking forward to my next visit.
