With three cities barely half an hour apart, the East Midlands gives swingers plenty of choice without long journeys.
Swingers in the East Midlands enjoy a handy mix: lively city centres in Nottingham and Leicester, quieter towns across the counties, and the Peak District on the doorstep for a weekend away. Because the cities are so close together, members often chat to people from all three, and from Birmingham and Northampton as well. A friendly first message that shows you’ve read someone’s profile goes a long way, and so does being clear about how far you’ll travel for the right meet.
Nottingham swingers
Nottingham has a big night-time economy and a sociable crowd, helped by its two universities. The Lace Market and Hockley have bar after bar to choose from for a first drink, and the trams run out to the suburbs and Beeston. If you live in one of the county towns like Mansfield or Newark, meeting in the city centre keeps things comfortably away from your own high street.
Leicester swingers
Leicester is one of the most diverse cities in the country, with a relaxed, welcoming crowd and plenty of choice for a first drink around the centre and the Cultural Quarter. The M1 and the trains put Nottingham, Derby and Loughborough close by, so it’s easy to widen your circle without spending long on the road.
Derby, Northampton and the counties
Derby members often meet in the city rather than in the Peak District villages, where people tend to know each other. Northampton sits on the M1 with trains to London and Birmingham, so members there look in both directions. Across the region, East Midlands Parkway station sits between the three cities, which makes meeting halfway simple.
