Killing Kittens was founded by Emma Sayle, who attended Downe House School with the Duchess of Cambridge. 

The events company has about 45,000 members worldwide, with 10,000 of those based in the North.

The club runs a strict entry policy, with only single girls or couples allowed membership.

The members-only club has previously only run pop-up events in luxury penthouses and private houses, but this weekend brings the launch of The Forbidden Room, their first permanent sex party pad based in a secret location in North Manchester.

The Forbidden Room itself is split into different sections, which guests move through as the night progresses. 

On entry, guests will be greeted by a Killing Kittens host in the bar area, which features erotic artwork on the walls, bare brick walls and a mirrored bar.

The bar area also hosts entertainment.

The launch night this Saturday will see local DJ Sarah Giggle, and burlesque performer Constance Peach get the party-goers in the mood.

At this point, it feels very much like any other bar, explains UK North Killing Kittens manager Louise Blakeley Taylor, who says that her role is to introduce people and make new visitors feel at ease.

She said: 'It normally changes at around 11 o'clock then something in people just clicks.'

Later in the night, as the mood takes them, curious kittens can progress into the play rooms, which are separated from the main area by curtains.

These sections contain huge beds, which can be moved to suit the event, and soft padded walls.

The focal piece of the play rooms is the Forbidden Furniture - bespoke, handmade items which are specially designed for cheeky antics.

Pride of place is the cage, which is custom made for the event to fit in two to four people and kitted out with indulgent padded leather cushions and tactile throws.

The Forbidden Room will host a variety of themed nights, such as Curious Kittens - a night which features more cabaret and performance, workshops such as massage for couples and mindful masturbation, through to champagne and oyster evenings.

Members of Killing Kittens are vetted, explains Ms Blakeley-Taylor.

She said: 'It's members only, so you can't just turn up to a party, and members are vetted according to how attractive they are.'

Because of this, she says, it's often an attractive crowd at the Killing Kittens events.

The first event was held in Covent Garden in 2005 and now the company runs events in New York and London.  

The age range for the regular Killing Kittens parties is 18-45, however the company also runs a 'silvers' club, for people aged 45 and over.

The Forbidden Room launches tonight (August 20), and will host a variety of events thereafter.
