• Each member of your group must have a ticket and pre-walking infants free (but ticketed).
• Battery operated 'rave' accessories with unsecured battery compartment eg batons, are not permitted.
• The event will be busy with hundreds of people attending. The dancefloor is for adults and children to dance together.
• Please be aware that events are standing/dancing with limited seating and events are busy with around 500 people at each party - which helps create the rave ambience.

• Please be aware that BFLF is designed to provide a family friendly, authentic club experience and is not a traditional children's party or disco. There is no kids music, nor games, nor DJ shout outs. The effect is to give families unity on the dancefloor - dancing together.

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

All ages welcome but acitivities are designed with 0-8 years olds in mind. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Next to Hackney Wick train station and bus links.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

[email protected]

What's the refund policy?

There is a no refund policy but if you are unable to attend you may sell your tickets to someone else.

How Loud will it be?

BFLF 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 2 hour duration of the event. Though quieter than at adult events, it is still loud enough to feel like you are at a club. Most parents do not use ear defenders on their children but if yours are particularly sensitive to noise or if you want them to nap then you might want to consider it.
