CRAWLEY LAUNCH Pirate Family Rave DJ Alex Paterson (The Orb) 8 September

Shiver Me Timbers, a pirate-themed family rave with DJ Alex Paterson (The Orb).

Set sail with the award winning, world famous Big Fish Little Fish crew and their shipmates as we bring our pioneering family rave to The Hawth.

Avast ye land lubbers and dance together on a floor filled with bubbles, balloons, glitter and topped by the parachute dance! Get nautically crafty on the Captain Cookie craft tables, enjoy some shore leave in the baby chill out or play areas and a tot of rum in the licensed bar.

BFLF take the banging tunes, unity and escapism you remember from the classic days of rave and bring them to a family audience, celebrating life together on the dancefloor. Created by families for families and by clubbers with decades of experience between them, you can re-live your clubbing glory years with a toddler on your shoulders, a pint in your hand and world-class DJ Alex Paterson (The Orb) on the decks playing acid house, techno and drum ‘n’ bass classics.

BFLF is primarily aimed at families with 0-8 year olds but older siblings are welcome. Fancy dress (optional): piratical!

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.

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 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.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
