Spring has sprung - let's celebrate at the original family rave with a Pyjama Party!

This is an incredible venue that has a superb outdoors garden - with a large tented area - that has a very strong festival vibe. Loads of space and all one level for us to rave in! It is a partially covered outdoor/daylit space.

Dance together on a dance floor filled with bubbles, balloons, and topped by the parachute dance in this amazing outdoor venue!

Get super crafty on the Wheadon's Wacky Crafting tables and enjoy the baby chill out cabin.

T&Cs

Parents remain responsible for their children at all times.

For families with younger children (8s and under) though all ages are welcome. Adults are not admitted unless accompanied by a child.

Each member of your group must have a ticket and pre-walking infants free (but ticketed). Will cost more on the door (if tickets available).

A max of 3 children per adult. If in a large group then one adult per two children please. If there are more than 4 adults per child in your group please email info@bigfishlittlefishevents.com for pre-approval before buying tickets.

Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred/sold on and if anybody with tickets finds they cannot attend a sold-out event please email info@bigfishlittlefishevents.com and BFLF will sell on to people seeking to buy tickets.

Please be aware that events are standing/dancing with limited seating and events are busy with around 500 people at each party - which helps create the rave ambience. Each event is stewarded and risk assessed in advance.

The event is outside and the ground is uneven. Whilst there is a tent covering much of the event space please do dress appropriately for the weather.

Buggies must be left in buggy park (inside) and will not be allowed on the dance floor.

We may photograph or film small parts of the event and by entering you are giving your permission for these to be used for BFLF promotion purposes.

Please be aware that BFLF is designed to provide a family friendly, authentic club experience and is not a traditional children's party or disco. There is no kids music, nor games, nor DJ shout outs. The effect is to give families unity on the dancefloor - dancing together.

DJ lineups may be subject to unavoidable change.

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

All ages welcome but acitivities are designed with 0-8 years olds in mind. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

There is plenty of public transport options and some parking in nerby residential areas.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

What's the refund policy?

There is a no refund policy but if you are unable to attend you may sell your tickets to someone else.

How loud will it be?

BFLF sets and monitors the volume using World Health Organisation guidelines - so that is it at a safe level for everyone, even the youngest babies, over the 2.5 hour duration of the event. Though quieter than at adult events, it is still loud enough to feel like you are at a club. Most parents do not use ear defenders on their children but if yours are particularly sensitive to noise or if you want them to nap then you might want to consider it.
