The Night of the Senses is run by the Leydig Trust and the Erotic Awards with strong artistic, sexual philanthropic  and theatrical integrity.

Not only does it raise funds for Outsiders, but it is also disability friendly, accessible and welcomes people who find it difficult to socialise in a nighclub environment.

The Ball is female friendly and supportive, with a team of stewards and hosts to ensure all behaviour is respectful as well as playful.

The atmosphere is relaxed, sensual, creative and amusing rather than posey, pretentious, competitive or ostentatious.

There is absolutely no obligation to be photographed and many guests relax in the knowledge that they will not be. The photographs on this site are of guests who wanted to be photographed and displayed.


Our price structure is geared to include all, encouraging odd numbers so that singles and groups of friends come along as well as couples.

We are open to all tastes, so long as everything is consensual.

The strict dress ensures everyone becomes the spectacle.

The night is professionally organised by volunteers who care about your enjoyment, so it feels very much nicer than a commercial event.

The Little Book of Delights (on this website) makes everything clear, to ensure everybody comes along with realistic expectations and a generous heart.
