Missing your clubbing days? Get stuck into our New Year’s Eve Family Rave. Hosted by MC Kwasi – a frequent collaborator of legendary DJ Mr Scruff – it’s the perfect blend of top tunes and activities to keep the kids entertained.

Kids can get NYE-ready with a glitter bar and festive face painting before taking part in bubble making, hoop workshops and parachute games with Disco Head Dancers.

There’s plenty to try out with Hula Hula Fun’s circus workshops. Expect hula hoops, diablos, bucket stilts, spinning plates, flower sticks, and gymnastic ribbons – great fun for both little ones and grown ups to learn some new skills.

The Conker Crew will be on hand bringing their sensory play stations and workshops to Aviva Studios. Perfect for 3- to 11-year-olds, why not try have a go at willow-weaving a headdress or getting creative with clay modelling or colouring sheets?

Have a toddler or baby in tow? Award-winning BLOOM Baby Classes are leading multi-sensory sessions for newborns to 4-year-olds, chock full of music, pom-poms, baby yoga and massage, instruments, parachutes, sensory lights, bubbles, treasure baskets and more.

All-female DJ crew Eve's Drop Collective will be spinning the tunes. Expect a mix of soul, funk, jazz, hip hop, broken beat and house. Add in party favourites like balloons, free glow sticks, bubble machines, snow machines and a playdoh station – and you’ve got a recipe for a New Year’s Eve to remember.

It’s all put together by The Playhouse Project – a unique family-friendly social event, organised by a crew of seasoned clubbers and DJs from Manchester who are now parents.
