A huge outdoor swingers event is to return to the West Country next week.
Claiming to be Europe's largest sex festival, Swingfields caused a stir when it first started in 2013 and the unexpected publicity around it forced organisers to cancel the event in 2017.
But more than 700 open-minded revellers are expected to descend on the site again this year.
It's exact location has been kept a mystery until days before the event to ensure a minimum of intrusions but has been located in fields in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, about 45minutes drive from Bristol.
Tickets began at £170 for couples for the three-day sex-fest and revellers can pay up to £415 for a luxury ‘glamping’ options, it has been reported, including bell tents kitted out with proper beds and luxury furnishings for attendees who don't fancy roughing it in a two-man tent.
The Sun has reported there are even tents that sleep up to 12 people and includes specially decorated beds.
In 2016, ticket holders were warned they could be thrown out if they divulged the location to the media, failed to cover up their bottom halves in public areas or were found indulging in sexual activity in the hot tubs.
Organisers are advertising the event on websites dedicated to swinging and on one wrote: “The Swingfields Committee are delighted to announce that the next SWINGFIELDS festival – 'Aurora' will be held from Thursday 4th July 2019 until Sunday 7th July 2019.
"This three-day event will be working alongside ALL lifestyle groups, including LGBT communities, to ensure we deliver a fun and entertaining event for all, and already we have plans to entertain all groups who will be working to deliver the BEST EVER Swingfields weekend.
"We have luxury showers and toilets available, and for those self catering this year we also have washing up facilities.
"Perhaps camping is too much hassle so we are now offering a full range of GLAMPING, to include electric and heating options, all bedding, furnishings and lighting, so you just turn up and relax."
Swingfields has previously taken place at Flaxley , near Westbury-on-Severn, as well opposite the Three Counties Showground in Malvern.
The festival's website says: "This award winning adult only event aims to offer an event where you can relax and enjoy the structured entertainment programme, listen to live music and leading club DJ’s, join in the fun competitions, or just simply fire up the Barbecue and get to know people.

"We welcome and nurture close bonds between ALL lifestyles and sexual orientation groups because everybody understands others personal choices, in our united stance against bigots and bullies, it has been the commitment and support from all of our communities working TOGETHER that continues to nurture friendships and love across the divides"
The website also offers a fully downloadable glossary of terms for swingers including 'hot wife', 'full swap' and 'soft swap'.
In 2015 and 2016 Swingfields was held in Flaxley, with Temporary Event Licences issued by Forest of Dean District Council.
Some local residents voiced objections to the event but organisers pointed to their robust security and ticketing systems.
