Bolton could soon be getting its very own swingers club, complete with a dedicated ‘play area’ and dungeon, it has been revealed.
Plans have been submitted to open a new members-only club inside a warehouse close to the town centre next door to a popular angling store, known locally as Dave’s Aquarium.
According to reports, if its application is successful the new swingers club would feature a sauna, massage room and bar area as well as a dedicated play area and sex dungeon.
Club owner Peter Hemingway, who already has another successful site called Pandora’s Swingers Club in Leeds – coincidentally also opened next door to a large Aquatic pet store – revealed that whilst there would be a bar area inside the club it would serve soft drinks only.
However, he added that members would be welcome to bring their own alcoholic drinks in with them if they so wish.

He told the Bolton News: “What we’re finding is we’re slowly getting more and more acceptance.”
He added: “I have experience of this, I have another swingers club, so I have experience of running establishments like these.
“If you’re a couple then as long as you bring ID with you can join on the door but it’s a different process for single gentlemen.
“In their cases they will need to go through a process of registering online.”
The new club’s name is yet to be decided, said Mr Hemingway, who went on to stress that he wanted the business to be welcoming to all – including Greater Manchester’s wider LGBTQ community.
He said: “For many of our members they’d often have no other place to go for this kind of thing.”

Tickets officially go on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester
Emily Sergeant
Tickets have now officially gone on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester.
Arriving on screens from 18 December and gearing up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, Dune: Part Three – which is the third and final instalment in director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise – will be screening in IMAX 70mm at Vue Manchester Printworks, one of only three venues to show it in this format nationwide.
There are only 40 other venues across the globe showing the film in IMAX 70mm, and Manchester is the only city outside of London to screen the blockbuster this way too.
Based on the novels of Frank Herbert and set nearly two decades after the previous film, Dune: Part Three features an ensemble cast of all-star names led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
Alongside them will be Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, Robert Pattinson, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
After seats for a special early screening of the film in IMAX sold out in less than 30 minutes last month, the IMAX 70mm showings – which officially went live today (20 October) – are expected to be snapped up fast by film fans in Manchester.
“A decade in the making, Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune trilogy is reaching its dramatic conclusion this December,” explained Dean Cross, who is the Senior Screen Content Manager at Vue.
“As the only venue outside of London to be screening Dune: Part Three in IMAX 70mm, it’s a privilege for us to offer this unique way to experience the film.”
Dune: Part Three is coming to Vue Manchester Printworks on 18 December, and you can book your tickets here.
