Kinky revellers at Britain’s biggest bonk fest are enjoying raucous romps as the four-day taboo-busting event gets into full swing — including someone “dressed as Jesus playing with a lady with a flaming sex toy”.
Horny hedonists have descended on the sleepy village of Allington, near Grantham, Lincs., for the annual Swingathon event, which organisers say has seen members grow each year.
Around 1,000 swingers are thought to be at X-rated bash, which is now in its fifth year and allows guests to romp in play tents, enjoy pole dancing, hot tubs, foam parties, mobile dungeons and sex games.
The event is in full swing
One reveller posted on Instagram: “Friday night and the party has started. Already this evening I have watched someone dressed as Jesus play with a lady who had a flaming dildo…that wasn’t on my bingo card, but just another day at Swingathon.”
In another post, a lifestyle advocate attending the event shared a video at 12.30am in which she said: “The festival has been in full swing today from 3pm and I am shattered. Bare in mind I have been working all morning and then partying until now.
“It’s been crazy, it’s been fun. I ran some games earlier and they went down really well which I’m really pleased about. Everyone is having fun… the hot tub area, everyone was loving it. There’s lots of people in there.”
Things get spicy in the tents
As loud music played in the background, she added: “Yeah the party is still going and it will be until 4am, but I am exhausted. But a real first day at Swingathon 2025, here is to two more glorious evenings of party, fun, freedom and frollicks. Happy, tired, but it’s all worth it.”
Earlier, a secret party was held in a tent hosted by event sponsors Spicy Match UK, a dating site for swingers. And on X, one reveller shared a naked photo of himself with the caption: “Morning, ready for day two at Swingathon.”
Other social media users have advertised their availability for fun with other guests. Only Fans model Delliekins The Kinky Witch wrote on X: “Are you coming to Swingathon this year?
Revellers flock to the tiny village for four days of freedom and fun
“Myself and lovely Jess Batty will be running the content creators section on the Thursday and Friday so come join us and find out all about our body positive modelling agency, UMAUK.”
Visitors can buy sex toys, whips and chains, BDSM bondage equipment, spanking paddles and racy lingerie from various stalls dotted across the site, near the hometown of ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
In a video shared by the event’s official Instagram page showed a new sex toy product that was launched by a kinky creation company.

Pineapples, the international symbol for swinging, are a common sight at the festival, with people wearing t-shirts and flying flags with the fruit on it to let others know they’re up for some wife-swapping action.

Other kinks are explored too, with some on photo showing an ice cream sign that reads “no vanilla”, a reference to conventional “boring” sexual activity.
Kinky punters can act out their fantasies for four days
Organiser Matt Cole previously told the Sun: “People’s self-confidence goes through the roof after a weekend here.
“You can walk around naked or dress up in a sexy outfit and just be unapologetically yourself. Whatever your kink, there’s something for everyone. We’ve got orgy tents, private sex rooms and lots of sex games.”
And married mum-of-two who visited for the first time last year revealed how she was too coy to tell family and friends, but is now raving about her experience, urging other people to give it a go.

The anonymous mum told the Mail Online last year: “‘We are both quite shy and had no idea what to expect but it exceeded all our hopes and fantasies.
‘Some may find it seedy and sordid but that is so not the case. It is all about couples, many in happy and long term relationships, wanting to spice up their sex lives and what is wrong with that?
‘We are all consenting adults and nothing untoward or illegal is going on and we’re all just having a bit of fun. It is absolutely amazing!’
