About

House of Play

House of Play is Copenhagen’s new play space. 

We are building a vibrant community for play in the broadest sense of the word.

House of Play brings work with conscious sexuality, consent, bodywork, kink, rope, dance, and art together under one roof, creating a place where playful and curious people can learn, share, grow and play together in a safe and liberated way. 

All of it based on inclusiveness and consent as core values. We see consent as a positive force that allow us to be braver, go deeper and play safer.

House of Play is a collaborative space. Our foundation is built upon the passions of a large core group, individuals that bring a wealth of experience from various scenes and practices into one melting pot. And on our members who help create a warm and welcoming community. Consider joining! Read more about membership

We host a variety of events every week. Classes and workshops to learn more, jams for play and practice, dance, and bodywork to nurture your body and salons to socialize and feed your mind. All of it rooted in a vibrant, creative, and warm community.
