Family rave with a haunted dancefloor, bubbles, snow machines and a parachute dance finale, with DJ High Eight.
Big Fish Little Fish are bringing their Halloween Family Rave to Gloucester Guildhall on Sunday 1 November, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If you've never come across them, they're award-winning family rave pioneers who have been helping parents be 'responsibly irresponsible' since 2013. The whole point is to give families an authentic club experience inside a real music venue rather than a children's party room: no kids' music or games, just a club-style dance. For this one, the room is turned into a haunted house of dance, full of swirling bubbles, eerie snow machines, bouncing balloons, a chilling confetti blast and a spellbinding parachute dance finale. DJ High Eight is on the decks.
One of the things that makes this work for families is the volume. It's set and monitored against World Health Organisation guidelines to keep it at a safe level for everyone across the two hours, so you can dance with the little ones without worrying about the noise. The venue itself is the county's premier arts venue, built in 1890 on the site of Sir Thomas Rich's Blue Coat School and refurbished between 1985 and 1988 into 'The County's Liveliest Venue'—a room that's hosted Radiohead, Muse, Primal Scream, Lily Allen and Pete Doherty.
