Chameleons Newport

Chameleons Newport is the only swingers club in South Wales — a Friday-night takeover of The Greenhouse health club building at 24 Church Street, where the 21-seater jacuzzi, dry sauna, steam room, and multi-level play areas transform into a lifestyle venue from 8 pm to 3:30 am every week. The building has operated for over 20 years and runs as a health and sauna club the rest of the week; on Fridays, Chameleons takes over with private cabins, dark rooms, glory holes, communal play rooms, and a cafe bar where you can buy soft drinks and snacks. Alcohol is strictly BYOB — bring your own bottles but don't overdo it, and no drinks are allowed near the jacuzzi. Membership is a one-off lifetime fee: £25 for couples, free for single ladies, and £80 for single men (though single male entry is never guaranteed and depends on the couple-to-single-lady ratio on the night). If you already hold a Darlaston membership, it's valid at Newport too. The club requires two forms of ID plus a recent utility bill — stricter than the Darlaston branch — and the minimum age is 21. Entrance fees apply on top of membership but aren't published online; call 01633 212 906 during Friday hours or 0121 568 6117 out of hours (routes to Darlaston). All emails go to chameleonsclub@gmail.com — specify that you're asking about Newport. Unlike its sister venue in Darlaston which runs six days a week with themed events, Newport keeps it simple: one Friday session, no rotating themes, open to couples and singles of all genders. The dress code is relaxed — towels (provided) or shorts for men, towels or "dress as sexy as you dare" for women. Towels and secure lockers are included, condoms are available from machines in the changing rooms, and smoking is outdoor-terrace only. With a 4.6/5 rating on CityMaps and reviewers consistently praising the welcoming atmosphere for first-timers, the club benefits from having no direct competition in the region — though some reviews note the building could use more investment.
