The original, multi award winning family rave is returning to Cliffs Pavilion (South end.)

The legendary 2 Bad Mice + DJ Trax will be joined by live percussionist Paul Fistfunk Crowley.

This event is part of the BFLF x Camp Bestival 'Lights, camera, action!' warm up tour. Along with the usual, award-winning BFLF fun there will be a sprinkling of Camp Bestival magic with a mega craft area inspired by film and Camp B icon. Take a photo of your creations to be in with a chance of winning one of three family guest passes to Camp Bestival itself. Get ready for your close up!

The event will feature themed crafts, giant balloons, glitter cannons, bubble machines, incredible lighting (no strobes), face painting stall and the BFLF famous parachute dance.

Theme Space Is The Place - Fancy dress optional but encouraged :)

Please be prepared for the event to be busy - it is a rave!

The event is conducted indoors with limited club lighting(no strobes) as the venue will be quite light , when entering please allow a few minutes for your eyes to adjust. Please no running!

BFLF sets the volume lower than at normal nightclubs. While it is still loud, it is within safe limits for young ears as set out by the World Health Organisation - and it is monitored throughout the event. It's up to you if you want to bring ear defenders, although most parents don't. However, if your child is particularly sensitive to noise or if you want them to nap during the event you might want to consider it.
