Police are investigating complaints from irate residents about ‘screaming and moaning’ noises from a four-day festival for swingers.
Residents living nearby said the rural peace was shattered by wails and groans after hundreds of attendees arrived for the Swingathon event near Grantham, Lincolnshire, over the weekend.
Around 400 tickets were sold at a reported £200 per couple and entry to the fields off the A52 east of Grantham was only open to people who had at least three personal verifications on their Fabswingers profile.

Organisers of the x-rated gathering advertised wet T-shirt competitions, a mobile dungeon and fetish ‘demonstrations’, plus a Mr and Miss Swingathon contest.
Drone images showed dozens of tents and caravans set up for the festival which ran from Thursday to Sunday.
Ticket holders were given the location after booking, and can only leave for emergency reasons, the online information explained.
The official website claimed the event was ‘Covid compliant’ with guests asked to take a lateral flow test 48 hours before arriving.

Current government guidance states that only 30 guests are allowed to gather for ‘significant life events’, such as weddings and funerals, in England.
But unconfirmed reports suggested that limited coronavirus guidelines were in place at the festival – including a lack of social distancing and hygiene facilities.
Guests were not given the address of the venue until after tickets were bought, and were told they must take a lateral flow test 48 hours before arriving at the event.
North Kesteven District Council said: A licence application was correctly issued, for a bar and regulated entertainment up to 11pm in association with what was described as ‘private camping for a private camping club’.
