In short
Go Dogging is a guide to private, legal venues where consenting adults enjoy exhibitionism and voyeurism: swingers and lifestyle clubs and ticketed adult events in UK, Australian and Canadian cities. Every listing names the venue, what kind of place it is and where, with the date we last checked it was operating. We never list public places.

01
Pick a city, see what's on
Start with the city guides. Each one names only private venues and events we have confirmed are operating, says where they are, and shows the date of our last check. If a city isn't listed yet, it's because we haven't confirmed enough venues there to be useful, not because we've run out of ideas.
There are no US venue pages. We haven't yet confirmed private US venues to the standard we use elsewhere, and we'd rather list nothing than send you somewhere that has closed or never existed.
02
What dogging means, and why the scene moved indoors
The word started out describing people watching, and being watched, in places they shouldn't have been. What people actually want from it hasn't changed much: the charge of being seen, or of seeing, with strangers who are into the same thing. Where it happens has. Our plain explainer on what dogging means covers the word, and the short history traces how the scene moved to clubs and ticketed private nights.
If you're more interested in the psychology than the word, exhibitionism and voyeurism between consenting adults is the place to start.
03
Why you won't find a single car park here
We don't list public places, and we never will. Sex where the public might see it can lead to a criminal charge. Isolated spots at night are where people get robbed, assaulted or photographed without knowing. And the dog walker, the delivery driver or the couple taking a shortcut home who stumble on it never agreed to any of it.
A private venue removes all three problems at once: everyone there is an adult, everyone chose to come, and someone is responsible for the door. Our safety page explains what that looks like in practice.
04
Watching is not touching, and no means no
The best clubs run on a simple rule: looking is welcome where it's invited, touching needs a clear yes, and anyone can stop at any moment without explaining why. Good venues post their house rules, brief newcomers and remove people who ignore them.
Our consent policy sets out what we expect of venues before we list them and what they'll expect of you. For the practical side, such as how to ask, how to say no without making a scene and what to do if someone pushes, read consent at clubs and parties.
05
Your first night: dress code, drinks and phones away
Most first nights go better than people fear. Check the venue's own site for the dress code, whether the night is for couples, singles or both, and whether you need to register in advance. Bring photo ID. Expect phones to be locked away or banned on the floor.
Drink less than you would on a night out: consent needs a clear head, and good venues refuse entry to anyone who's had too much. It's normal to spend the first visit at the bar, watching and talking. Your first visit to a club walks through the evening, and etiquette at clubs and private parties covers the unwritten rules.
06
Sort your ride home before the night starts
Plan both journeys before you leave. Book a licensed taxi or check the last train, tell a friend where you're going and when you expect to be back, and take only what you need: ID, a card, your phone and keys.
If something goes wrong, tell the venue's staff first; they can remove someone and call for help. Getting to a venue and home again safely has the full checklist, and our guide to keeping your privacy covers names, photos and what to leave at home.
07
Is it legal where you live?
Being a consenting adult at a private venue is a very different legal position from doing the same thing where the public can see. The law varies by country, and in Australia and the US by state. In England and Wales, sex where two or more members of the public could see it can be prosecuted as outraging public decency, and section 71 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 makes sexual activity in a public lavatory an offence. In Canada, section 173 of the Criminal Code covers indecent acts in public, while the Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that consensual group sex at a private Montreal club was not criminally indecent.
This is a summary, not legal advice. If you're worried about your own situation, speak to a lawyer where you live.
08
How we check every listing, and how often
Every venue we list comes from that venue's own published information, and every listing shows the date we last checked it. We aim to re-check each one every quarter and correct mistakes as soon as we hear about them. We don't take payment for listings; if that ever changes, a paid or partner listing will be labelled as one.

Questions people ask
Is dogging illegal in the UK?
In England and Wales, sexual activity in a public lavatory is an offence under section 71 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, and sex that others can see can be prosecuted as outraging public decency or exposure. Consenting adults at a private venue, where everyone chose to be there, are in a different position. This is a summary, not legal advice.
Do you list car parks or dogging spots?
No, and we never will. We list only private clubs, private parties and adult events. Public places put people at risk of arrest, robbery and assault, and involve people who never agreed to see anything.
Do you list venues in the US?
Not yet. We have not verified enough private US venues to list any. Our safety, consent and first-visit guides apply wherever you are, and we will list US venues only once they have been checked.
Can single men get in?
Sometimes. Some venues admit single men on set nights only, and some not at all. Policies change from night to night, so check the venue's own website for the night you want.
How do you check venues?
We list a venue only once its own official website shows it operating. Each listing gives the venue's name, what kind of place it is and where, with the date of that check, and we aim to re-check every listing each quarter.
