Big Fish Little Fish Family Rave crosses the river to launch in North London...
Even more family fun for the post rave generation of parents and children.
Big Fish Little Fish is a two-and-a-half hour afternoon rave for families with kids aged 10 and under. Born of a desire to create fun, friendly social events that adults and children could both enjoy, it brings together credible DJs playing quality music, craft activities for older children and a safe space for babies to chill out and play. Quarter of a century on from the 1988 Summer of Love, here is a place where music lovers of all ages can cut loose, enjoy themselves and meet like-minded souls.
