Probably the sexiest event in the world (ErosZine)

The Glastonbury of sex – these are the good people in a gloriously mucky business. (Grayson Perry)

Fundraising
The Night of the Senses (now in its 22nd year) and the Erotic Awards are the main fundraisers for the Outsiders Trust, a charity set up by Dr Tuppy Owens in 1979 for disabled people to enjoy sexual pleasure and form relationships. Outsiders.org.uk

The Night Itself

Guests and Erotic Awards Finalists arrive from all over the world. This year we have the Eros Association (whose book Hypocrites initiated the recent protest against the Pope in Sydney) from Australia; artist Brian Horton from LA; Sue Newsome, Tantric sex worker from the West Country; and international film maker Gareth Maxwell Roberts. We have academics such as Belinda Brooks-Gordon, writers such as Stella Black and politicians such as Lord Richard Faulkner. Guests are 18+, disabled welcome (wheelchair accessible)

The night begins with the announcement of the winners, who are presented with Golden Flying Penis Trophies which have been hand carved in Bali. Then comes the performances on stage – fashion shows, performance art and striptease, a hot show that warms up our guests so they spill out merrily into the maze of pleasure palaces. Every taste is catered for: the Sensuality Chamber where couples make love serenaded by musicians, the Roissy Dungeon, the Infinity Dome, Golden Pond, Massage Garden, Boys’ Back Room, Women’s Womb, Café Shebeen and Grope Box. This year we have added the Novice Avenue, Tantric Cavern, Messy Cake Fights and a Temporary Tattoo Parlour.

At 1am, special guest Empress Stah will present her act ‘The Queen of the Night’ in the Cabaret of the Senses, along with the famous squirting Mouse, ultra-charming black stripper Rumpshaker, and the best erotic performers this country has ever seen.
