CALLING ALL SUPERHEROES!
Join us on Sunday 27th April - 1-3pm @ Gorilla, an industrial chic bar/club under the railway arches.
Family fun for the post-rave generation of parents. Helping parents be responsibly irresponsible since 2013.
This April we bring you a very special event... we are so excited to be partnering up with Tangled, one of Manchester longest running clubnights, having celebrated their 30th birthday in 2023.
During the late 90s and throughout the 00’s, likeminded ravers would congregate every week to dance and catch up with new friends they had made at Tangled the previous week. The crowd at Tangled is said to be one of the friendliest in Manchester.
This winning combination of the music and the vibe created a very loyal following from all those who fell in love with Tangled. So Tangled fans, bring your mini ravers and dance, play, craft and have fun!
Note - Gorilla is a wheelchair accessible venue.

T&Cs
Parents remain responsible for their children at all times.
For families with younger children (8s and under) though all ages are welcome. No only adult groups are permitted.
A max of 3 children per adult. If in a large group (more than two families) then one adult per two children please. If there are more than 4 adults per child in your group please email [email protected] for pre-approval before buying tickets.
Tickets are non-refundable but can be sold on to others.
Each member of your group must have a ticket and pre-walking infants are free (but ticketed).
Please be aware that events are standing/dancing with limited seating, club lighting rigs (no strobes) are used and events are busy with around 400 people at each party - which helps create the rave ambience. Each event is stewarded and risk assessed in advance.
Buggies must be left in buggy park and will not be allowed on the dance floor. If you can manage without a buggy, please do.
We may photograph or film parts of the event and by entering you are giving your permission for these to be used for BFLF promotion purposes.
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.
DJ lineup may change at short notice.
FAQs
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.
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.
