MANCSBOUND DRESS CODE
Mancsbound is a fetish event and therefore it is expected that members and visitors dress in appropriate gear, the whole point is that you make the effort. If you don’t want to travel in your gear there are spaces to change and a cloak room to store bags. If you don’t have the right gear then Clone Zone on Sackville Street open until 9pm Fridays.
Footwear must be worn as there can be sharp objects (glass) on the floors.
This is a Bondage event so make sure what you’re wearing is comfortable (within the dress code) to allow for this.
Please note we ask that you leave your politics at home, under no circumstances are politically motivated badges, belt buckles and t-shirts allowed at Mancsbound, with the exception of those supporting LGBT rights and Pride.
