Tartarus

Welcome to Tartarus inspired by the underworld Where pleasure and pain intertwine in a dance of exploration and liberation. Bring out your inner demons.

Tartarus beckons to those who are drawn to the darker realms of BDSM, offering a space for medium to hard players to delve into their desires with passion and authenticity. Within the dimly lit confines of Tartarus, participants will find a sanctuary for exploration, experimentation, and connection. From the shadows emerge opportunities to engage in scenes that push boundaries and ignite the senses, guided by mutual respect and consent.

Tartarus is an event focused on the fine line between pleasure and pain where participants can fully embrace their primal instincts and explore the depths of their fantasies.

While our space beckons to the more seasoned reveller we welcome those who are curious and those wanting to take things to the next level. Our event is inclusive and our space is fully accessible.

This event features experienced dungeon monitors (DM's) and crew ready and willing to assist if needed.

Tartarus invites you to step into the shadow and embrace the flames.
