Village hall trustees axe tea and spanking event

A village hall was to hold bondage classes — complete with tea and biscuits.

Trumpington Village Hall on the outskirts of Cambridge usually hosts Women’s Institute meetings, indoor bowls and the local Brownies troop.

But next month it was to host a series of workshops, including “spanking and impact play”, “kink on a budget” and “flogging”, in an event organised by the group Peer Rope Cambridge.

But trustees for the village hall have cancelled the bondage classes, saying their premises were hired under false pretences.

The hall’s trustees in a statement said: “When the bookings were made, the activity was described as a ‘relationship support group meeting’. This description did not fully state the activities being undertaken.”

The online programme for the event, which was due to cost £10 (€11.88) , ended with the note: “We’d very much appreciate it if you could help us to pack up — stack chairs, collapse tables. Our maid for the day, Sarah, serves tea, coffee and biscuits.”
