Rave party being held for Telford children
A company has launched family-friendly raves in Telford.
Big Fish Little Fish is organising a indoor family mini-festival to be held at Telford Arena on Tan Bank in Wellington on September 25.
DJ Glenn Aston will play dance music to a crowd of about 500 parents and children aged up to eight.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to BFLF launch party in Telford,
"I'll be dropping a selection of classic House and Oldskool rave tracks. It's great to be part of something that helps to keep people of all ages involved in the scene, and introduce the music to a new generation."
Glenn will be supported by DJ Rob Mathews who DJs regularly at the Telford Arena at the Rebirth Events,
The family rave will include a multi-sensory dance floor with club visuals, bubble machines, glitter cannons, huge bouncy balloons and a giant parachute dance helping to create the atmosphere of a real rave. There will also be a play area with tents and tunnels, a safe-space for babies with a ball pool and soft mats, alongside a high quality themed craft area with a colouring mural and a playdough table.
BFLF regional manager Anna Emery said: went to her first family rave in Hackney before she moved away from London after having children. She has two boys now aged two and one.
She said: "My boys loved it, they were waving their little glowsticks around, loved the lights and the bubbles, and of course cakes, my eldest was happily in and out of the tents and tunnels in the play area while the baby was in the mini ball pool in the baby space.
"They happen on Sunday afternoons so there's no late night involved, they're just about everyone getting on the dance floor and having a good time." listening some fantastic tunes, and the sound levels are checked to make sure they are safe for even the smallest ears"
"I'm really excited to bring Big Fish Little Fish to Telford, I'm hoping to see lots of Telford Rave Mums and Dads letting their hair down and throwing some shapes with their little ones on the dance floor."
The event runs from 2pm. For tickets visit www.bigfishlittlefishevents.co.uk or www.facebook.com/bigfishlittlefishevents
