How Does It Feel To Be Loved? Children's Disco
Sunday January 30th
The Phoenix, 37 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PP. 12pm-4pm. £6 adults (15 plus), £2 children (14 and under).

We're back! We're pleased to announce that we'll be running our kids discos again on the last Sunday of the months. These events have always been reduced capacity, but we'll reduce the capacity a little further, just to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. We'll be asking for all tickets holders aged 11 or above to show either proof of a recent negative lateral flow test or proof of double vaccination on the door. Under 11s are exempt.

We've held the HDIF Children's disco at the End Of The Road festival since 2011, and they've been lots and lots of fun. We play our usual mixture of indie pop and soul, and the discos are a wonderful opportunity for kids to bop around to Belle & Sebastian, Allo Darlin', Ramones, Pixies and more, and for their parents to bop along with them. It can often be hard to get out to club nights once you become a parent, so these discos are as much a chance for the parents to go out dancing as they are for the kids. We also want to provide an alternative to the many rave-themed kids discos that are on offer in London. If you'd rather dance to your favourite indie pop and Motown songs with your children, then we're the disco for you!

Music will be played at a reasonable level. We'll make sure that the songs aren't played too loud, but if you're worried about volume please do bring along ear defenders for your kids.

Everyone is welcome at our kids discos - children, parents and family friends - but we follow similar rules to Coram's Fields - so no admission for adults unless they are accompanied by a child.

COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable at our nights, so here are the rules for anyone who'd like to come to HDIF in the next few months.

We will ask you to provide proof of a double vaccination (via the NHS app or by bringing your card or a print out), a negative lateral flow test (via the app or a print out, which you can get from here: https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result), or proof of having had Covid in the last 3 months (via the app).

We're limiting the capacity to make sure everyone has lots of room. Some people will have been out in the last few weeks and will feel comfortable with being in a club again. For others this will be the first month they've been out dancing. So please be respectful of everyone's personal space and remember that we'll all be at different stages of returning to the life we used to know.

It's no longer a legal requirement to wear a mask. If you'd like to wear a mask, you're welcome to. If not, that's fine too. Staff will be wearing a mask for your safety. We'll have the air con units on and will take measures to increase natural ventilation.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us do everything we can to keep everyone safe.
