LONDON. — A four-day sex and fetish festival, called Swingathon, which is Britain’s biggest swingers festival, ended on Sunday with some participants rolling around naked whilst drenched in body paint.
The X-rated festival features ‘play tents’, pole dancing, hot tubs, foam parties and mobile dungeons.
The event was given the go-ahead despite objections being raised last year by South Kesteven District Council licensing committee and Lincolnshire Police — who cited prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance and protecting children from harm as reasons to take issue with the festival.
Residents of a sleepy Lincolnshire village have been battling to cope with the festival as statistics showed that more than one thousand revellers descended for the event.
The festival was held in Allington, near Grantham.
Irate residents have complained to police about “screaming and moaning” coming from the countryside site keeping them up at night in previous years.
This year’s X-rated festival is Swingathon’s biggest yet.
One local resident, who did not want to be named, said:
“I heard about the noise complaints previously and it’s not the sounds you want to hear when you’re trying to sleep.
“It all seems a bit seedy if I’m honest, not my cup of tea. Each to their own I suppose but we don’t really want or need it in the village.”
However, the event has got some support from other Allington residents.
One commented on social media: “If everyone attending is up for it, there’s no problem.
“Let them get on with it, enjoy what they want to do, and I’m pretty certain they will.”
Kinky guests forked out up to £265 a ticket — which gets you a couple’s ticket with shower use.
Numbers have reportedly doubled from 500 to 1000 in the last year with organisers promising it will be “bigger, bolder, better.”
Swingathon organisers were granted a temporary events notice (TEN) and said they’ve faced more support this year from the local authority.
Co-organiser Matthew Cole said:
“It’s nice to have their support this year. Last year we had to go through a headache from start to finish, but this year is totally different and they are working so much better with us. — Mailonline.
