Get your glowsticks out and your neon facepaint on, because on Sunday 9th June Happyface Family Rave is coming to town... and we can't wait!
I'm always on the look out for fun, family events that we can all enjoy, so when I saw this one I instantly knew it would be right up our street! I spent many a Friday and Saturday night during my teens and twenties, raving the night away, glowsticks in hand, dayglow trousers and fluffy boots on, dancing to club classics! I'll have to dig you out a photo...(or not)!
So what is the Happyface Family Rave all about? Nick, the event organiser explains;
Sounds like a bit of nostalgic family fun right? Nick explains how the idea for the rave was born;
But this isn't just a rave for the family to enjoy. Nick had visions of his event helping the wider community too. By attending the rave, you will also be helping out a worthwhile local cause;
An even better reason to buy tickets and show your support!
There will be loads of fun activities including face painting and tattoos, photo shoots, a smoke machine, bubbles, balloons, glowsticks, craft stations, refreshments including a fully licenced bar, UV lights and lasers; all to a soundtrack of old skool house, rave and ‘90s club classics, with Golden resident James Camm DJing! There's a large dance floor with perimeter seating where the whole family can throw some shapes, and there's even a chill out room for those who need some time out!
Sound and lighting levels will be monitored throughout the event to ensure the comfort and safety of its youngest ravers! Event stewards will also be on hand to supervise the event and provide first aid assistance if necessary.
The event takes place on the first floor of the venue, which has full accessibility via lift from the main entrance or a same level walkway from the side, making this a pushchair and wheelchair friendly event! There's also free weekend parking just outside the venue (with disabled parking too) and free overflow parking just a short walk away.
So, if you fancy a great afternoon out with the family, visit the Happyface Family Rave Facebook page or website to buy your tickets. But don't hang about, they're selling fast! Adult tickets are only £8, and children up to age 11 are £4 each (plus booking fee). Children 12 months and under are free and their tickets are available upon request following the purchase of an adult ticket.
"Happyface Family Rave is all about reliving those dance floor memories and making some new ones. It’s time to get down. With the kids!"

I love the sound of this! I'm not sure my kiddo would be as keen (and hubby never liked night clubs in the first place). I bet you will have a great time, and I look forward to hearing more about it! xx #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of this! Looks a brilliant event for all ages #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great event for the whole family. Though, I don't think my 13 year old daughter would be very happy seeing me raving lol.
