Apricity: the feeling of the sun's warmth on a cold winter day.
The days have gotten shorter and the nights colder, but there are plenty of ways to warm up.
Apricity is a night for finding warmth together, in whatever form it takes. Break the ice with a little impact play. Thaw slowly, knot by knot, in rope. Kindle a power dynamic, wrestle your way out of the cold, or melt into a dirty dance. And if your idea of keeping warm is something else entirely, bring it along. All ideas are welcome – you might even surprise yourself.
Do you melt slowly, or all at once? Are you the sun tonight, or the ice?
We begin together. Everyone gets an introduction to the space and to how we play with each other respectfully. That way, you can settle into the night knowing what to expect and how to look after yourself and others. Then, in the opening ceremony, the frost starts to crack, things get a little edgy and the windows start to fog up.
After that, the night is yours. Get silly or get serious, stay light or go deep. Connect, dance, cuddle, get up to some mischief. Explore the two play spaces: one for full immersion, the other alongside the dancefloor, where the DJ will keep the room glowing.
Halfway through the night, we'll crack the ice a little further with some lightly facilitated sessions around impact and sensation play, as inspiration to explore with a little more curiosity. Join in, watch, or let them drift by like snowflakes.
Safer Space Angels will be around all night if you need support, a check-in or simply a friendly face. When you need a break, curl up in the Cuddle Space, or grab an alcohol-free refreshment from the bar.
There may be rosy cheeks. There may be rope marks. There will certainly be warmth.
And through it all, consent is what keeps us safe and warm.
Come in from the cold ❄️
WHO IS IT FOR?
For all genders, bodies, and levels of experience - especially for those who understand that the richest nights are co-created, not consumed.
This is for you if:
You want to show up fully - to help create the vibe of the night, all within your own boundaries and desires
You know that presence can be hotter than performance.
You're willing to bring awareness, warmth, and responsibility into the room.
You can hold your own desire while respecting someone else's boundaries.
You're curious about what ripens when you slow down and pay attention.
This is not for you if:
You're more interested in what you can get from the evening than in what you can contribute to the experience we're creating together.
You're unwilling to engage with consent, boundaries, and the facilitated part of the evening.
Come solo, with a partner/s, or with friends.
WHAT TO BRING
A towel or sarong to put under you for play (mandatory)
Any toys or props you'd like to use
A water bottle with a lid
Care for the collective experience
Your desires, your curiosity, and your willingness to be affected
WHAT TO WEAR
Come as the sun or the ice.
Sun: gold, amber, honey, copper, shimmering metallics, warm skin. Snow: icy whites, silver, pale blue, faux fur, sheer layers, glossy latex. Or melt the two together, or come as something entirely your own. Apricity is yours to interpret.
What matters is intention. Help us create a space where everyone feels a little more alive than usual. At the door we will ask you about your outfit, but you don't have to wear it when you arrive.
Leave your everyday clothes at home, or we may not let you in (jeans, standard t-shirts, regular workout clothes, everyday underwear, etc.). No shoes indoors.

Closing circle*
*The closing circle is dear to us - ending together, like we began the evening together, makes the evening feel like a collective experience. We always close as a group, which means the night may sometimes wrap up a little earlier than the schedule suggests. If you need to leave before the ending circle you can of course do that.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Consent is the foundation of our play.
Ensure agreed participation in every interaction
Respect intimacy bubbles - no staring or unsolicited approach
Don't assume gender, sexuality, or desires
Stay aware of your presence and how it impacts the space

CO-CREATE WITH US
This night exists because people choose to bring their energy, attention, and care into the room.
Join our volunteer crew to help shape the vibe from within and get a free ticket — it's one of the most magical (and warming) ways to experience House of Play.
To become a volunteer please write to us on info@houseofplay.dk before buying your ticket, let us know what shift you would prefer and we sort it first come, first serve. Add a few lines about what really appeals to you about being part of the crew, and if you have any experiences from similar roles. If you know there's a chance you might not come after all, please don't apply to be a volunteer, as we need all hands on deck on the day.
