LAM Summer fete 2022 - Bedfordshire edition Saturday 9th July 2022

Back for another visit to the awesome VA2 we invite you to come and enjoy an outdoor market with entertainment and workshops.

Following the awesome Fetes in 2020 & 2021 we invite you all back to the Vanilla Alternative, Great N Rd, Sandy SG19 2AS to take advantage of the great weather to have another outdoor shopping event with beer garden and food.

The event is ticket in advance only with prices increasing as we get closer to the event.

Tickets are non-refundable unless you are symptomatic and need to isolate and non-transferable. We have secured the use of the outdoor facilities and grounds of a site with no neighbours to worry about.

The site will enable us to set up an outdoor market with stalls covered with their own gazebos, our hosts will provide an outside bar and BBQ with plenty of space for those who want to picnic and catch up with their friends.

We will have some of the finest fetish artists and craftspeople on display with a range of clothing, accessories, and toys for a rich and vibrant shopping experience.

Our traders are known for their quality, knowledge, and friendliness some of the many reasons why we support them.

LAM has always been more than just shopping, it’s one of the easiest way to develop your kink skills within an open and accepting kink+ environment. Workshops and performances will be announced in the run up to the event so you can make the most of the day, weather permitting there may also be some play space.

If you want to bring your own food, you will need 1 picnic pass per 2 guests.

As the site is licensed you are not permitted to bring your own drinks onto site.

Entertainment

As at previous events we will have performers to entertain you, full details are still being finalised.

The performances will be at 4pm and 5pm, we will also have "stage performance" of Healthy Mental Practices Live at 2pm with @SceneCounsellor so expect some outlandish shoes along with some sound advice on all aspects of kink and mental health.

There is ample parking on site for 100+ cars with amazing access to major transport routes.

The nearest public transport options are St Neots or Tempisford train stations which are a short ride taxi away.

There will be a play area for those who want to use it, anyone caught asking for or pestering for play will be ejected from site.

We will install a wifi network to enable the drive through shopping and will try to extend that through the social area with a solar wifi network.

Toilet facilities are available on site, but the outdoor nature of the event means it would not be suitable for indoor wheelchair users.

Well behaved dogs on leads are permitted so long as their owners agree to be responsible for them.

Best dressed

As the weather is likely to be awesome, we are holding a best dressed competition. All you need to do is dress to impress and be on site by 1:30 when the winner will get £50 in on the day shopping cash.

Accessibility

The site is mainly grassed with limited concrete walkways around the beer garden, however so long as the weather is fine in the run up the ground is stable enough for outdoor chairs and those with wide wheels.

There is a single step up to the toilet facilities which are wide cubicles but are not adapted.

We are happy to answer any additional questions if they are asked with enough time to answer them specifically.
