Massive swingers festival swarms quiet British village: ‘Bigger, better and bolder’

There will be no sleeping in this sleepy village.
A swarm of swingers descended on a quiet British village for a weekend of raunchy debauchery that has locals fuming.
The four-day “Swingathon” kicked off Thursday in the small hamlet of Allington, a quaint landlocked neighborhood 40 miles southeast of London, according to SWNS.
“This year it’s bigger, better and bolder. There will be fire breathers, pole dancers, acrobats and much more.
“We have a huge LGBT space and we do a lot of workshops. There is a whole holistic offering … We are just a normal festival for people with alternative lifestyles.”
The naughty sex-tival also features “play tents,” pole dancing, hot tubs, foam parties, mobile dungeons and butt-plug bingo.
It is not the first time Swingathon has come to town, but this year organizers scheduled it on the same day as another — but separate — event aimed at people with fetishes called FetFest.
And at £265 a ticket, or $342, the vamps are getting their money’s worth — much to the dismay of the unhappy residents in the normally quiet village.
The town of just 7,900 has complained to police in the past about “screaming and moaning” coming from the countryside site and keeping them up at night.
“Each to their own I suppose but we don’t really want or need it in the village. It all seems a bit seedy if I’m honest, not my cup of tea,” one resident, who asked to remain anonymous, told the outlet.
“I heard about the noise complaints previously and it’s not the sounds you want to hear when you’re trying to sleep.”
Even Lincolnshire Police objected to the event based on the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance and protecting children from harm.
But this year, local officials have seemingly sided with the perverts.
“It’s nice to have their support this year,” co-organiser Matthew Cole said.
“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.”
According to Cole, some local officials are even giving the swingers advice on how to run the event better for next year.
“I think they have realized we are not going anywhere. We have put a lot of work into the event and a lot of time into it,” he told SWNS.
“We have sold more tickets than ever and having the council on side as well, it could not be going any better than I wanted.”
