Raver Tots NYE

Raver Tots are bringing their New Year's Eve party to Luna Springs Digbeth on Thursday 31 December, so if you're looking for a way to ring in 2027 with the kids in tow, this is a good shout. It's a daytime session, which is the whole point — you get the party out of the way while the little ones are still awake, and you're home in time for a proper NYE dinner without the usual toddler meltdown that comes with staying up until midnight.

For those who haven't come across them, Raver Tots is an award-winning, family-friendly rave that's open to all ages. They call it the 'Ultimate Family Dance Party' and the UK's number one family dance party, and it's just as it sounds: a dance floor where the smallest ravers and the grown-ups can both get stuck in. The music is a mix of UK garage, drum and bass and house, so it's a proper rave selection rather than a nursery rhyme playlist, and it's all played out in a space where it's perfectly fine for kids to be dancing right alongside you.

It's a broad church of a session, too. They describe it as open to everyone from the smallest raver to the grown-ups, so it works whether you're bringing a toddler who just wants to bounce or you're a parent who actually misses the dance floor. The mix of garage, dnb and house keeps it moving, and because it's a family rave, the whole thing is built around the kids being there rather than just being tolerated.

It runs from 13:30 to 18:00 at Luna Springs Digbeth, 17-18 Lower Trinity Street, Birmingham, B9 4AG. Tickets are £14.00 to £16.00, so you've got the party sorted well before the sun goes down on the last day of the year.
