A NATIONWIDE rave for families which held in Glasgow's East End has scooped several awards.

Big Fish Little Fish family raves have won an unprecedented four awards for their outstanding contribution to the national Get Creative Family Arts Festival 2016.

The awards recognises the festival’s most engaging family events, as well as highlighting the outstanding organisers amongst the huge variety of participating organisations.

Hannah Saunders, Big Fish Little Fish Founder and CEO, ‘‘Everyone at Big Fish Little Fish - and indeed all the venues, DJs and performers involved in the events - are completely chuffed to receive this recognition from both the award judges and audience and thank them so much for their support.

"Our family audience are active participants in our raves and it is their wholehearted engagement in the multi-sensory experience that makes them so special. We turn museums, galleries and arts theatres into clubs and clubs into family friendly venues. Dance, create, play - see you on the dancefloor!’

Kirstie Wilson, Big Fish Little Fish Scotland, added: We've grown so much this year in Scotland, and I hope the awards win will help us gain more following so we can continue to serve up our wonderful event even further afield.”

Big Fish Little Fish family raves will be at Drygate in the East End. DJ Mallorca Lee will be playing on March 26, DJ Egebamyasi on May 28 and DJ Rebecca Vasmant on July 30.
