Raver Tots comes to Preston’s 53 Degrees venue on Sunday afternoon.

It’s a family rave where kids and grown-ups can hit the dance floor and let off some steam together.

Kids fun includes face painting, UV lights, bubbles, balloons, confetti and giant parachutes in a rave style atmosphere with some of the UK’s top DJ’s including Slipmatt. Some events attract up to 1,500 people a time!

Founded by club promoter Mike Pickets, the brains behind the resurrection of Fusion raves five years ago, the events see people take in a

nostalgia trip of great tunes, iconic 90s dance venues . . . and ball ponds!

Mike is hoping to provide a way for kids to work off some energy in a fun-filled and safe environment: to take the ‘peace, love, unity, and respect’ ethos of the rave scene and translate it into positive attitudes towards mental health. A donation will be made to ADDISS, a leading charity for people with ADHD, while £1 of every ticket will also go to the National Autistic Society.
