House of Play
A member-run play space that brings consent work, bodywork, kink, rope, dance and art under one roof, with a weekly Monday rope jam, a free monthly intro for absolute beginners and multi-month rope courses (a beginner course and a floorwork course run August–December 2026).
House of Play describes itself as a play space in Copenhagen that brings conscious sexuality, consent, bodywork, kink, rope, dance and art under one roof, built on the passions of a large core group with experience from different scenes and practices. Inclusiveness and consent are its stated core values, and it presents consent as something that lets people be braver, go deeper and play more safely. Alongside rope it runs weekly classes, workshops, play jams, dance and bodywork sessions and salons, and offers a membership.
Rope has a fixed weekly slot: the Monday rope jam. Attendees gather in the lounge, a facilitator opens the rope space with a short circle, a landing exercise and the house rules, and the rest of the evening is open tying until a closing circle. Each session’s facilitator sets the mood and music. The jam is open to experienced tyers, newcomers and the curious; beginners can watch, ask questions and get help starting out, though the jam is not a lesson. Members attend for free, non-members buy a drop-in ticket, and students and people on low incomes can ask for a discount. Everyone is asked to read the code of conduct before coming.
For structured learning, the house runs a Rope Intro on the first Monday of each month, a monthly Rope for Beginners evening, a beginners’ immersion weekend and season-long courses in Japanese rope bondage. The season starting in January 2027 lists three: BOUND, a beginner course on intimate rope between two people and what makes shibari and kinbaku distinctive; FLOW, a level-two course in playful floor work with sensation, tension, speed and small bamboo; and FLY, an introduction to suspension for people coming from the beginner or floor-work course or similar training. Red Lily’s events page lists both 2026 editions of the Copenhagen Queer Knots festival, in summer and November, at House of Play’s address.
