Little Ravers: Halloween Spooktacular

Little Ravers are taking over Popworld in Milton Keynes on Saturday 31 October, bringing their Halloween Spooktacular to the city for a proper family afternoon. They describe it as "the ultimate daytime club for kids", and that's a fair summary: it's a kid-friendly, high-energy rave that puts the feel of a night out right in the middle of the afternoon.

The music is the main thing here, with live DJ sets running throughout. It's aimed at under-12s, and they recommend it for children aged 3 and over, so it's a good fit for families with younger ones who aren't quite ready for a late one. The sound is kept at a loud but safe level, and the Halloween theme runs through everything: glow sticks, LED batons, themed games, trick-or-treat, and giveaways to keep the energy up.

It's a supervised affair, with children needing to be accompanied and watched by an adult at all times. There's free buggy parking on site, which is a handy detail if you're bringing a pram. The organisers also run a raffle, with the proceeds going to Harry's Rainbow, so there's a bit of local charity woven into the day.

It runs from 15:00 to 17:00 at Popworld (499 Lower Twelfth St, MK9 3PY), with last entry at 15:30, so you'll want to get there before then. Tickets are £25 for a family ticket, which covers up to two adults and two children, and £27.50 for general admission.
