Torture Garden first opened its doors back in 1990 in Shepherds Bush, London and this year celebrates 18 years of fetish clubbing. In the 80’s and early 90’s Fetish & SM was still taboo and very underground, and even dressing in Rubber and going to a fetish club seemed a dangerous activity. As TG’s notoriety grew, so did the `shock & scandal’ reports in the tabloids, resulting in the Police frequently forcing venues to close events in 1991 – 1993, and the shadow of the Spanner Case also hung over the scene during the early 90’s. The first event caused quite a stir – there had never really been any club like it. Many have described their first experience of entering a TG event as like stepping into another world. Like a scene from a film, a fantasy, it can be anything that you want it to be.
You will often see Mansion Mistresses at TG events and this year will be no exception!
