POSTPONEMENT FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER

We are very sorry to have to postpone tomorrow’s Beats and Blooms Big Fish Little Fish Family Rave due to the Met Office forecast of extremely high winds in the area. We are all disappointed but your safety is our priority and given the exposed, outdoor location of the event it is no longer wise to go ahead. It also avoids the possibility of evacuating 2,000 attendees with young children, in dangerous circumstances.

The Big Fish Little Fish Family Rave has been rescheduled for Saturday 9 September 2-6pm and your tickets will be automatically transferred to this new date. Unfortunately some of the planned DJs are unable to make the re-scheduled date but the new lineup is:

Mark Force & Atlanta Alure (as before)

DJ Chefal – original Croydon dubstep pioneer and DJ at the very first Big Fish Little Fish in July 2013 – so we are delighted he can make it to our 10th Birthday Party. Expect lots of classic dubstep goodness. Proper innit?

Perry from Pendulum – yes, South London resident Perry from the mighty Pendulum will finish the day with a bangin’ mix of dnb & jungle & breaks & heavy on the PENDULUM!!

If you would like a refund instead then please contact ticketing@horniman.ac.uk by Monday 31 July.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and hope to see you at the Horniman again very soon. Hannah from Big Fish Little Fish adds: ‘We are so sad not to be able to celebrate our birthday with you on our home turf tomorrow but are looking forward immensely to seeing you all in September and hope you all have a great summer. Rave on!’

he original family rave Big Fish Little Fish is ten years old. Dance in the Horniman Gardens with your family and join the celebration!

Join us for a proper South London knees up to wish happy tenth birthday to the brilliant Big Fish Little Fish. Witness music history with the incomparable Benga behind the decks once more – come throw some shapes in the garden of dance this July.
