Time to bring out your inner Ripley, Einstein, Curie, or ET in our favourite venue, the iconic rave cave FABRIC.

DJ NEWS

Room 1: original 90s underground DJ turned cool bike merch head honcho Neil Wyatt (Antidote/Handmade Cyclist) will lead the pack with lots of Housey goodies before the legend Richard Norris (The Grid/Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve)races to a finish with a BFLF set that David Holmes described as ‘like Ibiza in ’88’.

Room 2: we have some serious original jungle and dnb chops with both Nookie and DJ Trax playing the room. It’ll be both PROPER and MASSIVE and very BASS.

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 DJs on the decks.

Families dance amongst confetti cannons, bubbles, foam, giant balloons and everyone joins together for the parachute dance finale.

There’s a Doxa Faces face-painting stall (our excellent face painters charge £7 per face for a child, £10 for adults – only children over 2 can have their faces painted, cards accepted), crafting with Nifty Natty, a giant mural to colour in and the baby chill out zone.

Buggy parking, baby changing facilities and friendly, fully-trained stewards help things run smoothly and safely.

Baker Chef will provide a range of homemade sweet and savoury snacks (cards accepted).

Licensed bar.

BFLF is primarily aimed at families with 0-8 year olds but older siblings are welcome and many attend the Fabric raves.

Fancy dress (optional): get scientific or alien or anything you want.

Tickets are bound to sell fast for this incredible event!

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 and a half 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?
