Secret 'Safe Rave'

This was a new idea and a new direction for the 'safe raves,'

We decided to tell no-one about it, so none of the young people knew what was happening, or who was playing.

It was a great successful experiment with 98 young people turning up.

Apart from the DJ being a complete secret, we also hide the dance floor so you had to walk around a corner to see what was going on, and more noticeably all the staff were in fancy dress.

The fancy dress was no particular theme, just something silly. It shocked and amused all the Young people. It was for a laugh and a big surprise, but it also worked with showing the young people just how dedicated to being silly all the workers are.

It had a great atmosphere with loads of new faces turning up, just hope we didn't scare the new ones away with our outfits.
