Description:
Home of the BNO.The Venue
A family run venue set on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, on the doorstep of the world famous 'Bletchley Park', Pink Punters is the fastest growing LGBT venue in the UK. It is set over three floors with an outside bar/food area and a pool table in what has been said to be the best 'Smoking Area' in the UK (whether you smoke or not). We have new areas under construction at all times. Massive investment and a real commitment to providing a World Class venue is demonstrated in everything we say and do. The Campanile hotel is 100m door to door away. Whilst we are developing all areas, our main priority is to develop our transgender services and facilities.
BNO, Sparkle & TAG
Many of you will have visited or heard of the BNO held here every 2nd Friday for the past five years. Some of you will be aware that over the past couple of years we have become the main sponsor of Manchester Sparkle - the biggest transgender gathering in the world. A handful of you will know that we have recently set up a Transgender Advisory Group (TAG) who is now advising the club on what services and facilities need to be in place for us to become a World Class Transgender venue by 2012.
Quality & Standards
Pink Punters aims to become the premier UK Trans venue with very high standards and a reputation for providing a quality, safe and welcoming atmosphere. We do not have a dark room nor permit sexual activity inside the club and despite the fact that we operate according to our detailed values at all times, everyone still manages to have a great time in the very mixed environment. At the end of the night our security can escort you to your transport or to your hotel entrance and all under the watchful eye of our security camera network.
Coming Out
If you are 'Coming Out' Pink Punters and BNO is said to be the best place to start. If you are coming alone for the first time then one of our 8 TAG members would be more than happy to escort and introduce you on your first visit.
Rainbow Operations
Rainbow Operations is our personal commitment to supporting LGBT campaigns, events and charities nationwide. NO other UK venue does as much for the LGBT communities as us. We are confident none ever will and we are very proud. We will do all that we can to support those who support us. Have you seen Rainbow - the biggest gayest bus in the world, check it out, join our crew!!!
World Class
Our World Class (Trans) Journey is well underway and you are welcome to come and talk to us about that at any time. Have your say by e-mailing the webmaster@pinkpunters.com. Look for constant improvements/updates, better still come and join us any weekend and make your own mind up. Pink Punters - already said to be the best UK venue, it's our job now to prove it.
Remember it’s a family run business with family values and so you can ask to meet or speak to one of the owners at any time. You can also request to be met and escorted about by one of our varied TAG members whose profiles will be on our web pages soon. You can of course just turn up on your own or with friends. Any services that you receive inside the club from any of our range of recommended professional providers i.e. hair make-up advice is provided free of charge - so what are you waiting for??

Burgers, pizza etc Turn left at the roundabout near the church and there are some take-aways, including quite a decent chippy for these parts. Shopping If you head north past the pubs and over the double roundabout there is a shopping area with Next Clearance, TK Maxx etc. If you can get up early enough on the Sat there are some good bargains. Opposite is a large Tesco for clothes, petrol and food. The centre MK is a massive shopping mall, but can get busy. Travel/ Directions The venue listing will give you a map for the location. Driving: If you don’t have GPS etc MK can be rather confusing to say the least. At its simplest get to the roundabout at the southern end of the dual carriageway section of the A5. Go all the way round the roundabout, almost as if about to head north up the A5. Instead take the turning just before, which is the old road Watling Street. The Camp and PPs are about a mile up the road, just after the garden centre. Coachways is located at Junction 15 on the MI and you would need to get a bus/ taxi to the Camp. Rail to MK is on the mainline Euston/ Birmingham. Get off at Bletchley and there are (not very frequent) local trains to Fenny Stratford - about 10 min journey. Airports: Luton – there are buses from the airport to MK Centre, best bet is check on times etc online. Alternatively bus down to Luton station, train to Bedford then change for train to Bletchley, then either local train for 10 min journey to Fenny Stratford or taxi. Birmingham - station at the airport and train to MK/ Bletchley then local service to Fenny Stratford. Secure And Friendly Environment |

My second time to this event in 2 months and it certainly didn't disappoint. The Christmas BNO is undoubtedly the biggest one of the year and such good fun. The staff are both friendly and helpful and are always at hand if you need assistance. The bar service can be slow at times especially upstairs where they are serving cocktails, so best to double up when ordering😉😂. Having said that it's still a fabulous place to go to.....especially if it's your first event out.....everyone is just so welcoming. If you're thinking of going but are still not sure.....just do it!! Don't wait until December next year, go in next few months. You definitely regret it❤️❤️ |

This was my first time attending the infamous BNO night, and what an event it was. I managed to find a reasonably priced hotel in MK on Booking .com. After getting dressed I made my way to the Campanile Bar. When I arrived it was packed and full of excitement! It was lovely being able to have a face to face chats with members you've only spoken to online. Catching up with old friends. There was a real community vibe. In the actual club, the cocktail bar was my favourite place. If you put on your special outfit, this place makes you feel like you fit right in. Was a little depressed the day after, but am very grateful for this event. Highly recommend and look forward to attending again. x |
