Do nappy nights still exist where you live?

When I was a teenager nappy nights were very popular. I am looking for a nappy night or similar to take a group of 13 year olds to but my googling has turned up nothing. Do they exist at all anymore? Are we just in some sort of nappy night backwater?

Soola · 23/09/2019 17:50

Google has not helped me.

Baguetteaboutit · 23/09/2019 17:50

Nappy night sounds like the type of thing I'd worry about putting in to Google.

Do you mean an U18 club night?

NoWordForFluffy · 23/09/2019 17:50

Not a clue. So yep, definitely in a backwater for whatever this thing may be!

dementedpixie · 23/09/2019 17:50

Nope, never heard of it

If I knew what nappy nights were I'd be able to tell you if we've got something similar here. But I don't, so I can't

Do you mean an U18 club night?

Known as "Unders" in my neck of the woods.

Never heard of a Nappy Night.

Haha yes I’ve heard them called ‘nappy nights’ too, but had completely forgotten about them. I know the one I used to go to doesn’t exist anymore as the club closed down. I suspect they weren’t particularly lucrative as most of a clubs money would normally come from alcohol sales.

Knittedfairies · 23/09/2019 17:55

I have no idea what you're asking.

Bunnybigears · 23/09/2019 17:56

Oh ok didnt realise nappy night was such a local term! Yes Under 18 club nights. I did google that as well so it's not.my terminology causing the problem. Do clubs still do under 18s nights?

Well, that's just highlighted how my life has changed... we used to frequent the local nappy night at a sticky, smoke filled night club but when I read your post I thought you were on about some sort of fancy nappy for night times.

Biancadelrioisback · 23/09/2019 18:00

Oh god I used to go to loads of U18 nights! But no, I can't think of anywhere which does them anymore.

Anothernotherone · 23/09/2019 18:00

Assuming that you mean an under 18s disco and not distinctly over 18s fetish nights Shock ...

My DD went to an under 18s disco/ very tame club night for under 18s while on a foreign exchange trip in Kent last year. They do still exist. She was not impressed though...

I think they fallen out of fashion.

I worked in a club during my student days and nappy nights were always a fucking nightmare. They would try and buy alcohol at the bar and claim to be over 18, we used to call their bluff and say they'd have to leave in that case as it was an U18 night. The amount of times we would catch them shagging in the toilets and we'd end up with two kids sitting in the managers office while we rang their parents to say "come and collect your 17yo child please, they were caught having sex with a 13yo" and then the opposite call to the parents of the 13yo. One night four boys managed to get into the cellar and were caught trying to sneak out with a crate of beers.

Maybe this is why they've fallen out of fashion.
