Inclusive, educational and fun!
We want this event to be all inclusive of all genders and gender identities and to feel like a safe welcoming space where experienced D/s couples can publicly follow their dynamic, and for those couples or singles who are inexperienced but want to learn more about the world of High Protocol.
​
We also feel strongly that there should be educational opportunities at this event, regardless of if you are in a dynamic or not. We will hold short workshops on different BDSM subjects that are in keeping with High Protocol at each event both for D’s and s’s.
​
(Note this does not mean you are guaranteed play).
​
We will get creative with this! Games will be in keeping with high protocol etiquette and aimed at helping guests, including those that are attending as single, to experience High Protocol. The organisers will be on hand to provide support and answer questions.
​
We will have some scene idea cards to help you get started with a High Protocol D/s scene and some form of D/s matching wall or sorting hat. There are no promises that you will get a match, but we can try!
​
Where possible and if requested, we will try to match less experienced guests with mentors at the event.
