Come and enjoy a spring fling with the kids as the original family rave, Big Fish Little Fish, returns to Fulham Pier after two sold-out events. Known for bringing the energy of a real club experience to families, the award-winning sensation delivers an unforgettable daytime rave for parents and children aged 0–8 (with all ages welcome), featuring acid house, techno, house and drum ’n’ bass. Expect big beats, immersive lighting and plenty of space to dance in Orange Box, our state-of-the-art basement club.
What to expect:
- A high-energy DJ set from acclaimed Big Fish Little Fish resident DJ Mandy, spinning club classics and BFLF favourites.
- A multi-sensory dancefloor with bubbles, glitter cannons, snow effects, balloons and the much-loved parachute dance finale.
- Weadon's Wacky Crafting tables, featuring a giant collaborative mural, themed crafts and a playdough station for little creators.
- A licensed bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for grown-ups.
- Optional fancy dress (think floral or neon to celebrate the arrival of spring).
Created especially for the post-rave generation of parents, Big Fish Little Fish has been helping families dance together (and be responsibly irresponsible) since 2013.

FAQs:
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
All ages welcome but activities are designed with 0-8 years olds in mind. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.

We strongly recommend using public transport to reach Fulham Pier, but if you do require on street parking it is available with a fee.

Please email us on info@bigfishlittlefishevents.com
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.
