Dress Code
Our events are co-created & participatory. You the community are the most important component of any event. Your attitude and attire are the greatest gifts you bring - crucial to the scene and setting, & THE key part of the pageant.
Your interpretation of each theme is a beautiful contribution. Dress as beautifully and creatively as possible. Be daring, sexy, imaginative. Go beyond your usual limits.
Abandon restrictions and fears.
Stuck for ideas? Check our Pinterest: we always post hundreds of ideas.
To best curate the festive, creative atmosphere, ordinary or non-thematic clothes & banal clothing (jeans; Tshirts; sneakers; suits; office clothing) will always be denied entry, so plan ahead. Be fabulous; you deserve it, and we all crave it.
We are a diverse and inclusive community. We warmly welcome all people, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age or ability. We are all equal.
Discrimination, prejudice or bigotry will not be tolerated in any form.
Respect everyone - including yourself. Respect all boundaries - yours, & those of others.
ACCESSIBILITY
We want to make our events as accessible as possible; to help us do this please email any questions and access requirements to foxandbadge@gmail.com . We will be as accommodating as possible.
If you purchase a ticket to one of our events and it is not possible for you to queue, please email us to arrange faster access in advance.
Due to the shape of existing buildings and the immersive nature of our events, we may have areas that are unsuitable for those with specific access requirements.
Inclusivity & Accessibility
Please use this form to let us know of any incidents of harassment at our events or to make us aware of any individuals who could be a threat to the community.
Care + Consent vs Harrassment
How do you want to be treated? Please always be kind, and considerate. Give, rather than take. Take exceptional care of other people - as well as yourself.
Consent is central and crucial at all our events. Always ask rather than assume. No always means No. Consent is an ongoing conversation between individuals, and we all have the right to change our mind and adjust the behaviour and physical contact we consent to at any time. Coercive and manipulative language is not an acceptable response after receiving a clear no; in fact, it’s abuse. Always seek a clear, enthusiastic yes.
To engage in any form of physical contact, consent must always be obtained. Consent is not limited to intimate acts, and applies to any physical contact. Consent must be clear; if signals are ambiguous, either verbally or physically, interpret them as a ‘no’.
Don’t be shy about saying no; always feel empowered to make your boundaries clear. Be aware that some may struggle to say no. Attune to the person and, if in any doubt of their enthusiasm, assume a no.
These boundaries are here to ensure all connections are mutual and nourishing. We encourage our community to feel empowered to intervene on each other’s behalf, and take the initiative to remind others of their right to consent. Together we can all collaborate to maintain a respectful and loving environment.
If you experience any problems at all, please come find us at the very earliest opportunity. We always have an extensive team of safeguarders, welfare angels, security and staff on hand, as do all venues, and it is always more effective if we can deal with any issue as it happens. Harassment, aggression, aggravation or persistent intrusion will not be tolerated, and will lead to immediate ejection. Persistent staring and voyeurism, unless invited, are similarly not tolerated.
Offenders will be cautioned; ejected if necessary; banned from our community; possibly blacklisted from the venue, and possibly others as well. In severe cases, the police will be called. You can also report incidents or get in touch via foxandbadge+community@gmail.com
We celebrate expression over restriction, and take and share photographs of our nights. We always have several amazing professional photographers and videographers at our events to capture some of the magical moments we can’t possibly all experience at once. It is not practical or implementable for our crew to ask every guest in our many vast rooms for their explicit consent; please feel entitled to tell any photographers if you do not want to be filmed or photographed. Images of the night will be shared discreetly on our channels. We will of course instantly honour the request for removal or blurring of any photos you are not comfortable with; your privacy is paramount.
We kindly request our guests to leave their phones to the side as much as possible, not film the night, and simply be fully present; we will share all our beautiful professional photos & videos with our community immediately after the event. There are strictly no photos allowed in dungeons or playrooms, or of any intimate acts. If in doubt, ask. Please only photograph with the utmost consideration, awareness and respect.

Community Bans
Occasionally we have to impose bans on members of the community. We reserve the right to ban anyone from our community that contradicts the ethos of our brand, poses a threat to members of the community, or causes other disruption to our events, or public spaces online.
We keep a watch and ban list to track possible threats to our community. We can add individuals to these lists for any duration of time at our discretion. We share these lists with our door team and staff and check against ticket names to prevent these individuals from entering our events.
