Family rave with glitter cannons and foam machines coming to historic Surrey market town
A rave is set to take place in an historic Surrey market town this spring. Complete with DJs and dancefloor, it will not be your typical rave as it will be geared towards families with young children.
Held at Farnham Maltings in the town centre on Sunday, March 9, parents won't have to stay up until the early hours to dance to their favourite beats as the two-hour event kicks off at 2pm rather than 2am. DJs Baker and Beale will bring a set list of top dance tracks from classic rave to house, disco to hip-hop and techno to drum ’n’ bass.
Ravers can expect glitter cannons, bubble machines, giant balloons and a huge parachute finale at the event aimed at babies to eight year olds, along with their mums and dads. With an enchanted woodland theme, guests are encouraged to dress up as a woodland creature, fairy, elf or even a tree, and immerse themselves in a musical wonderland.

Those needing a break from the dance floor can visit a craft area where older children can unleash their creativity, while little ones can enjoy a Play-Doh table. Tickets are available to buy now and cost £15 for adults and £11 for children.
Pre-walkers are free, but must hold a ticket. Event organisers Big Fish Little Fish 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 two-hour duration of the event.
Though quieter than at adult event, it is still loud enough to feel like you are at a club.
