What it’s like
A family rave event brings all ages onto the dance floor, with five food traders and bars to fall back on.
This is a live music venue that puts on a family rave, which is a bit of a different proposition to your usual soft play Saturday. The idea is simple: proper sound system, daytime slot, and kids dancing about with the grown-ups instead of being farmed off to a corner. If your children like music loud and don't mind a crowd, this is the one to try.
Being a venue built for gigs rather than a dedicated kids' space, don't expect a soft play mat or a ball pit. What you get instead is the atmosphere of a real event, and that's either exactly what you want or a bit much for a toddler who likes things quiet. Worth thinking about who you're bringing before you commit.
Food-wise they've actually gone to town. Five different operators on site, Olive Greek, Silly Willies, Yard Bites, Oli's Pizzas and Untapped, plus bars doing cocktails, so nobody's stuck eating from a single stall while everyone else queues. It means a family rave can double as a proper lunch out if you time it right.
The building itself is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet, which is decent to see spelled out. They also do private parties here, an intimate bar with a Greek twist for smaller socials, and a hidden ground-floor room for birthdays and weddings, so if the rave goes down well there's a route to booking your own do later.
