Review of HAPPYFACE: HALLOWEEN FAMILY RAVE - Keele Uni

The rave was aimed at families however the venue was not practical. It is on the 1st floor with a steep staircase.
The lady running the entertainment/games for the children was fantastic however the execution of the games was poor. For example my daughter stood for a long time in a queue to do limbo and never went under the bar once. The area was very cramped. I would suggest clearing more space on the dance floor and getting children to line up properly.
Again with the costumer characters maybe bringing them out and having a queuing system would work better.
The sweet stall was great but located poorly. Maybe it would have worked better by the bar.
Overall the concept is great but the planning/location of activities needs work for the event to flow better.

This is our 2nd event with a little one and it was great. The only thing that we didn’t like this time was that there were loads of kids with really loud whistles. If the organisers read this don’t sell whistles next time!

Review of HAPPYFACE: HALLOWEEN FAMILY RAVE - Keele Uni

Absolutely amazing event, this is our 3rd time attending and it gets better every time. I attended with my 3 month old this time, ear defenders were used for him. Such as amazing atmosphere everybody having fun.
Previous reviews are very unfair as the venue is completely disabled friendly and all children should be supervised by their own parents not staff! Also individuals are not police checked when buying tickets for the event.
The event is very clearly advertised for what it is! ‘A rave experience with load music and a licensed bar’.
This event is amazing for the whole family not just the children. The effort that has gone in to this event, the music, the lights, the decorations as well as everything else is up there with the best!
Congratulations on such a fantastic event AGAIN and definitely see you next time!

This event shouldn’t even be allowed to exist. Just a bunch of adults getting drunk around children. Wish I could get a refund. Absolutely rubbish.

Absolutely fantastic event!

Review of HAPPYFACE: HALLOWEEN FAMILY RAVE - Keele Uni

We were very disappointed, this was up lots of steps so the venue is less than ideal. The music was okay but it was way too dark, kids were just running around and most adults only there to meet their pals and drink. Really overpriced. I would most definitely not recommend

Review of HAPPYFACE: HALLOWEEN FAMILY RAVE - Keele Uni

Absolutely amazing experience for myself and 2 children. They both really enjoyed it.
One little criticism... maybe the art table could of been located in room 2 as it was always so busy where people were dancing by the chairs. My daughters enjoyed the crafts and the sweet stalls. Definitely recommend to family and friends and ill be 100 % coming back x

Had an amazing day at the Halloween Rave. There were lots of games, balloons and confetti to keep the children entertained aswell as crafts and soft play. Lots of yummy sweets and light up toys at very reasonable prices too. Plus bonus of a bar for adults. Would definitely return to the next event.

Review of HAPPYFACE: HALLOWEEN FAMILY RAVE - Keele Uni

Inadequate and poorly signposted parking. Alternative entertainment (such as crafting) in the middle of the rave room making it overcrowded and difficult to take part. The advertised soft play area was a few soft cubes and a few foam mats meaning no real entertainment for younger kids. In the hallway there were unattended children blowing rave whistles into younger kids ears with no staff around.
Overall poor experience, left after 10 minutes.
