Club F

Club F is a members-only swinger club at 6 High Street in Stanley, County Durham (DH9 0DQ), which bills itself as the best swingers club in the North East and has been described in local press as the closest venue of its kind to Teesside. Operated as a private membership club rather than a licensed premises, it handles all booking and enquiries by text message only; new members are expected to make contact before their first visit, and annual membership is £30 for couples, single men, and single women alike. The venue includes a bar area alongside on-site hotel accommodation and a set of play spaces that include a dungeon and themed rooms. Because Club F holds no alcohol licence, guests bring their own drinks — a policy the club explicitly cites as keeping prices well below those of a conventional nightclub. Accommodation is available on the night in three tiers: private hotel rooms at £35, shared rooms with two double beds at £30 per couple, and crash accommodation at £15 per person. The atmosphere shifts across the weekend: Friday nights run livelier and attract a higher proportion of singles, while Saturdays are described by management as more relaxed and weighted toward couples. Regular sessions run Friday and Saturday from 8pm to 1:30am. On the first Tuesday of each month, the club hosts Tease Tuesdays, a daytime event from 10am to 2pm with reduced entry — £15 for single men and couples, and complimentary for single women. Additional themed events including a Curvy Club night are promoted through Fab Swingers. Door entry on regular nights is £10 for single women, £25 for single men on Fridays (rising to £35 on Saturdays), and £25 for couples on both nights. Single-male places on Saturday nights are limited and require advance booking.
