Core Element and BeautyOfTheBass Events Ltd as an organisation has little interest in the media, our priority is making sure our members have a great time. As a private members event for the exclusive enjoyment of our attendees, we take our privacy and safety very seriously. Should a reputable and understanding media source approach us, we may allow entry under strict circumstances.

This policy outlines the options for media engagement. Any media contact we establish is intended solely to inform and entertain the general public in a responsible manner.
