BACK TO Kids Disco Party
HOW LOUD IS THE MUSIC? WILL THE MUSIC BE TOO LOUD FOR CHILDREN? 

We do love a good boogy but we’ll make sure that the music is always kept at safe levels. While music levels are lower than clubs it will still be loud enough to dance so you may wish to bring ear defenders. We do also have a limited number of ear defenders available to borrow which you can sign out when you arrive. These are provided on a first-come-first-served basis and will need to be returned at the end of the event.
