FAQ

What does Nimhneach stand for?

Nimhneach means “poison”. Yes, it is a Gaelic word.

For our non-Gaelic speakers here an Anglicised spelling – “Niv-nock”.

What will I wear?

Fundamentally, anything that is easily recognised as fetish. That could be as simple as a collar to as complex as complete outfits.

The only thing is about nudity — no full frontal nudity from anyone, and no nipples in the case of the women. This is a standard licensed venue policy. Other than that, whatever your imagination could come up with.

I’m a guy. Is all black acceptable?

No way. We aren’t asking for much in the way of dressing for the event. Accessorise greatly or else buy something suitable.

Dress code?

There is an enforced dress code at the door. If you’re not dressed appropriately, you won’t get in. Make the effort and there won’t be any problems. The dress code is fetish, rubber, leather, vinyl, high formal, cyber, gothic, fetish drag, corsetry, lingerie and burlesque

Is this a play party?

Well… OK… but… whatever you get up to is nothing to do with us ;)

The only thing is no sex on the premises, observe the ruling about nudity. Basically anything someone would get away with in a vanilla pub is fine (hence no watersports, bloodplay, or anything that will make the venue owners' worried about their carpets).

There is an after-party venue organised, which is separate to Nimhneach. Even the organisers of Nimhneach will be paying the cover charge to the after-party venue for themselves.

Cameras?

There will be no media recording equipment allowed. Event helpers will have instructions to report any breach of this rule.

Age Limit? (If you need to ask this, you probably also need to read “warning - contents may be hot” on coffee cups).

This is an over-18’s only event. If you are lucky enough to look under 21 you will be asked for ID. Satisfying venue door-staff that you are over-18 will not automatically satisfy ours. Right of admission reserved.
