Two Rope drop-in dojos — the area will be equipped with a range of suspension devices as well as a few bondage tables, boards and other items of fun and a lot of foam flooring and cushions. This is your chance to learn and practise in a relaxed and comfortable environment, and most importantly have fun with rope!
We are hoping to illustrate some of the range and diversity that makes rope bondage such an expressive and emotive art form in an open and relaxed environment.
The drop in sessions will run for 110 minutes at 12 and 4 and entrance will be by full or half day ticket.

4pm — Demo: Q&A Session — An English country garden; Staples with a difference - by firemynxB - A lot of us already know the basics of staples, how to use them, how to put them in, and how to take them out, so for once, we are going to go for colourful, and fun, and put even more imagination into what we can do. So we are going to have our very own LAM-Flower-box in the form of our delicious demo bunny.
