Frequently Asked Questions
🌱 "Where do these events take place?"
All Escapes to Quimsy take place at Wisp's family homestead, a private hobbit-hole-like residence in Montesano, WA. The address is sent to all revellers who RSVP, and can also be found on the invitation (postcard on the front page).🌱 "That's quite a distance for me to travel... are there accommodations for spending the night?"
Yes! Camping is always encouraged- there is a large backyard space with plenty of room to pitch tents, and the neighbourhood is a safe and quiet one ideal for car camping.
There is also a limited amount of indoor accommodation available for those with particular needs (i.e. a real bed). Reach out to Wisp if this applies to you!🌱 "What is the food situation like?"
Every Quimsy revel is a potluck - LUPERCALIA specifically centres around finger foods for sake of mobility, while all other events encourage homemade comfort food offerings.*
Snacks are always available, with dinner and breakfast served to overnighters.
* Please reach out if you have any dangerous food allergies, so we can release a list for food planning closer to the date.🌱 "Can I bring...substances?"
Yes! BYOB for yourself or to share - the bar serves only tea & coffee (see the Bar Menu below).
Regarding other drugs, smoking - whether tobacco or otherwise - must take place far away from doorways (the picnic table or Greenhouse are great smoke spots).
For all other substances, please ask your host (Wisp) so a comfortable outcome can be reached! Some folk don't enjoy being around altered individuals, so when it comes to mushrooms / other such substances, just check in about it. Chances are good no one will mind, though in the spirit of seeing everyone is taken care of, group awareness is key.

Escape to Quimsy's
Lupercalia
Manifesto
📜EVENT DATES: February 14-15, 2026💘“Lupercalia” gave rise to what we know in modern times as Valentine’s Day — centred around a grand feast, the officiators would cut thongs from the skins of the sacrificed animal (usually a goat) and run around the ritual grounds, striking at any person who came near. There are no sacrifices at Quimsy (unless it’s a scene 😉), so bring your favourite impact implement and some shareable snacks instead!This event features an ace-friendly, introvert-inclusive hobbitcore Dungeon Crawl, and is a safe space for seasoned and green kink practitioners alike to mingle and engage in whatever level of interaction pleases them.While there will be folk present who can help facilitate a kinky time - with the Dungeon Crawl providing incentives and ideas - it is ultimately up to YOU to put the kink in the party! Come with a mindset to try new things, and excitement to share your personal passions with the community.✨
👍 THIS REVEL MAY BE FOR YOU IF:
💚 You’ve tried kink events in the past and been disappointed by the level of queerness and creative range on offer. We’re here to build a better world with you.
💚 You identify as ace-spectrum and feel there’s no comfortable place for you at events that are predominantly sex-focused with some bondage on the side. The Dollhouse is a sex-neutral yet arousal-positive space – arousal is a natural & expected response, though needn’t lead to sexual interaction. Being ace-inclusive, we aim to culture a space where kink is the focus. It doesn’t “lead to” anything – it’s the goal.
💚 You’ve never done kinky stuff before but are excited to try.
💚 You're an experienced kinkster thirsty to engage with twisted and creative minds.
💚 You're kinky at home and curious about getting in touch with a broader community.
💚 You’re drawn to kinky themes in fiction but have never done it before in the flesh.
👎 IT MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF:
❤️ Witnessing physical pain, degradation, bondage, dehumanization, etc in a consensual context is a trigger for you. The RSVP form will give you an idea of what happens at these events.
❤️ You are not comfortable with others expressing sensuality/arousal in your vicinity.
❤️ You are not comfortable with seeing other peoples' nipples and ass cheeks.
❤️ You actually have no interest in kink but just want to hang out with your friends.**Be honest with yourself: there's no shame in any of these reasons being true. If they are, you are always welcome to join us at any of Quimsy's non-kinky events- which is the rest of them!
