About The New Gatehouse Bolton
Modern dance floor with blue lighting and seating Google Photos marked Google come from Google Maps contributors. Your photo? Ask us to remove it.
The New Gatehouse is a fully licensed, inclusive swinger venue in Kearsley, just outside Bolton, open to ages 21 and over with no membership required. The club occupies one floor with multiple play spaces: an orgy room, fully private room, semi-private room with voyeur glass and curtains, a small dungeon, cinema room, and a relaxed open seating area with bar, pool table and jukebox. A typical night involves arriving to a friendly welcome, being shown around and given the rules, then mingling in the social areas or using the play spaces as you wish; the venue hosts varying weekly events including regular Tgirl nights, and the staff are consistently praised for making guests feel safe and comfortable.
The venue suits everyone from curious first-timers to experienced players, couples of all kinds, singles, and those exploring different dynamics or identities. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with visitors praising the welcoming atmosphere, professional staff, clean facilities, and the fact that the place feels genuinely inclusive rather than judgmental. Even those who found their first visit quieter than expected came away wanting to return.
The main practical concern is that the venue can be tricky to find—GPS sometimes directs visitors to nearby landmarks instead—so phoning ahead or getting clear directions is wise. Parking has been mentioned as occasionally difficult. Overall, reviewers consistently describe The New Gatehouse as a safe, discrete, friendly club where you can be yourself and have genuine fun.

- The facilities are well-designed with multiple dedicated play spaces including a private room, semi-private room with viewing glass, orgy room and dungeon.
- The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with people able to chat, meet others and take things at their own pace without pressure.
- The venue is clean, safe, discrete and secure, with proper facilities including showers, changing rooms and lockers.

What guests complain about
- The venue can be very difficult to locate, as GPS and satnavs sometimes direct visitors to nearby landmarks instead of the actual address.
- Parking in the area can be challenging and limited.
- The night visited was quiet on a Friday, which may disappoint those expecting a busier atmosphere.
- The entrance has steps leading up to it and there are steps inside to the cinema room, which could be problematic for those with mobility issues.
- One reviewer expressed concern about whether the website was still functioning and whether the venue remained open, suggesting possible communication gaps.

Great time ad
A nice little club with great staff. I took one of my subs to the New Gatehouse, just outside Bolton, for a play session on one of the club's regular Tgirl events. It took quite a while to actually find the place and I only fount it by chance whilst my sub was directed to a nearby mosque by both google maps and her car's satnav. The club is built on one floor, but has steps leading to the entrance as well as inside l…
