“Kink is what we do,
Leather is what we feel”
(Solenne, 2020)
After a sell-out first year, BOUNDLESS is returning Friday 25-Sunday 27 July 2025! Tickets go on sale 1st May. This is a community weekend for queer people of all genders, who are drawn to the eroticism and imaginary of Leather, whether you already call a Leather community your home, or are just starting out on your kink journey. Perhaps ‘Leather’ evokes in you fantasies and longing for leather clad S&M and radical sexuality, bootblacking and boot worship, cruising, cigar play, community, heartfelt values, ritual and traditions, or something else entirely.
We look forward to welcoming you to BOUNDLESS, whether you came last year or are new to our community!
Experience kink community, and leather learning
Boundless is a weekend that flags iconic aspects of Leather cultures – bootblacking, cigars, cruising, dungeon play. The weekend begins on Friday afternoon with a leather crafting workshop, cigar and boots social, play party and of course the BOUNDLESS wrestling tournament! On Saturday, there will be a full day of workshops to choose from, bootblack challenge and second hand leather stall, topped off by a play party in the evening. Reconnect with friends and playpartners at Sunday brunch, before going home or…if role-play is your thing, there’s always BOUNDLESS ACADEMY with a syllabus of lessons, and extra-curriculars from wrestling to Scouts, and for those who require it a trip to the Sanitarium.
Saturday Workshops
Saturday is jam packed with workshops from Leather protocol to fireplay. Three workshops will be running concurrently in three streams – here are the details of the entire programm:
Workshop Stream 1
Humiliation! What!? How!? WHY!? with BEST_IN_SHOW & HATHOR
Often incredibly personal and subjective, considered as edge-play by many: Humiliation play is rather the slippery fish of BDSM. Thankfully, someone well versed in bringing questionable seafood into the dungeon is Best_in_show. This talk/demo visits such hot topics as… What is humiliation play, + why one should/n’t do it. Developing humiliation scenes + top tips on making them super effective. Creating/utilizing audiences ethically + how to minimize risk when invited into scenes …hopefully aiding others in their own understanding and journey into what is an often misunderstood fetish.
Living Leather - Loving Protocols with DK LEATHER
For some the world of Leather is simply a mysterious, otherworldly seeming place, for others it’s our bedroom playground, our choice for daily living, our dreams and our realities. Come along, listen and learn, and ask your questions on Leather as a life choice. What is protocol, what types, and what might that look like in a life with a job, mortgage and even kids? What protocols might you enjoy, and what can and might we choose for ourselves as individuals?
Decorative Sharps with RADICALLY DARK
Like to add a touch of beauty to your sadism or just want to make pretty needles for photography? Then this class is for you!
We will be covering a wide range of topics in relation to pretty & sadistic needle & staple play: a recap on types and gauges of hypodermic needles; medical asepsis (clean technique) and how to apply it to decorative elements; scene prep, risk profiles & negotiation; techniques to make different types of pretty needles & staples and how to make them sadistic or painful (Needle stacks like pain & adrenaline buttons, dermal slides, cilices, corsets ect…); other pretty needle play techniques (Flowers, Corsets Wings, other designs ect); demo and Q&A.
Workshop Stream 2
Beyond Brute Force: Techniques for Physical Control and Body Manipulation with DELTA & THELIONSMOUTH
Coming from a rope background but offering techniques that work with and without bondage, we will teach a number of ways to physically move a bottom/be moved by a top in a scene. We focus on tips and tricks for non-verbally moving a bottom, with variations that allow for size differences, dis/abilities and differing play dynamics. This is a hands-on class with exercises that will require a workshop partner.
Thriving not surviving in long-term D/s relationships with JACK
What makes for thriving long term D/s relationships? In this workshop, we’ll get together and share our tips, tricks and strategies for keeping D/s and power exchange healthy and hot over time, after the new relationship energy has changed into something else. We will focus on getting in touch with what we really long for, imagining that future, and sharing what WORKS to help get us there.
Levelling up your bootblack game with PINE & PARKER
So you’re a bootblack who knows how to give a bar shine, work on oil tans and garments, but want to take it to the next level? This is the workshop for you!
We will teach you quick and easy techniques for repairing holes, gouges and scuffs. Whether you just want to do simple repairs and restorations or you’re thinking about taking on a competition ‘tech boot’, we’ll help you gain advanced bootblacking skills that will amaze and impress anyone. Come learn and try using things like burnishers, sandpaper, cobblers wax, leather dust and dye!
Workshop Stream 3
Rituals in Play with RISSEN
A ritual can be as mundane as a morning paper, or as intense as a baptism of fire. A ritual can be personal, like how you get in and out of a scene, mark an important event between loved ones, or foster unity in a wider community. The uses of ritual in play, D/s relationships and your private kink journey are endless. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and try some hands-on ritual crafting.
Participants are encouraged, but not required to to bring an object or toy that could be part of a ritual.
Sexual and Alternative Freedoms with FAYE & BEASTIE
Taboo – what is it to you? What limits your sexual freedom? “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery” This quote by Bob Marley has always resonated and inspired both O/our own journey and this workshop. This workshop is for anyone wanting to be more open and honest with themselves and have greater freedom within their current or future relationships about their desires.
W/we will explore subjects such as barriers and limits to sexual freedom, open communication, power exchange, perceptions of what’s taboo, getting to know your/your partner’s body, and how to love the adult and nurture the child within.
Fire Play with TARA RED
We will cover a lot of SAFETY first, then move onto tuition: the practice of playing with a fire torch on both yourself and your play partner safely and effectively.
This two hour class (NO breaks) with loads of safety advice on how to choose fuel and torches, then use them safely and effectively for differing effects. Packed full of useful tips whether you want to top others, play with fire on yourself, or just have it done to you.
Tops please wear sleeveless cotton clothing, bottoms please wear as little as possible when playing, cotton if not. Please bring hair tie and don’t wear perfume, body oils or lotions on your arms or anywhere you would like to experience flame. Tara will have Skullys Candles torches for sale afterwards.
N.B. this workshop is 2 hours and will run 15:15-17:15. Ten tops max for the practical element.
