Music. Moves. Magic. 21 March to 23 March 2025 Starts,
If you’ve been to one of our monthly nights then imagine that, cranked up 6 notches ✨
We throw dance parties where all bodies are invited. You already know how to dance, we're just here to give you permission to embrace all of the ways your body wants to move.
Come alone, come with friends, dip in a toe or plunge in the deep end. However you want to party, we're here for it.
So that everyone feels safe to unleash their full selves on the dancefloor our only rule is to be excellent to one another (aka the "don't be an asshole" policy). What does that mean? We expect you to be great at respecting other peoples' boundaries and bodies, to pay attention, and to use your words if you're unsure. Trust us, asking is way less awkward than getting it wrong.
OUR NIGHTS
Our musical goals for Kaleidoscope XXL are to:
Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re abandoning the classic floor-fillers. We’re already planning several live acts that we are very excited about, and a list of DJ’s to make you swoon.
OUR DAYS
We'll also have daytime skill shares showcasing our talent, so if you're newer to fusion you have some tricks to bring to the dancefloor each night.
Kaleidoscope XXL is the sister event to Camp Kaleidoscope - a fusion dance residential focused on leveling up your dance game. We've arranged it so that you can segue smoothly between Camp and XXL with our transfers to and from Bristol to our castle in the countryside.
Camp attendees will get priority booking for Kaleidoscope XXL, and also a discount on their ticket for the weekender.

Claim the spotlight
This year, we are planning to have fewer DJs, with more hours per DJ. That means that competition will be fierce, but if you're invited to DJ for us you will get the opportunity to really shape the event for everyone.
We're selecting on more than just the sample set. As part of the application you'll be invited to share YOUR vision for what you'd do with a more expansive period of time behind the desk, and are going to look for a cohesive set of DJs that is both diverse and complementary.
What are we looking for?
We're looking for DJs who love to work with us to craft a vibe, know how to read a dance floor and have the kind of range to appeal to dancers of all different backgrounds. Of course, you'll have your own unique style too, and whether you're all about the crunchy glitchwomps, or the ethereal melodies we're interested.
We are looking only for DJs who actively select their music during their sets, adjusting to the dancers in the room (no set-and-forget playlists).
We are especially interested in:
TICKETS
Do you do social passes?
No. We're keeping it simple with one pass to cover the full weekend, whether you want to come to the workshops and the parties, or just the parties. This gives you flexibility and as 95% of our costs are on the evening parties, social passes wouldn't save you much.
Can I split a pass with a second caregiver?
Yes! We want to make it possible for parents and caregivers to enjoy Kaleidoscope XXL by sharing a pass.
Both of you should register, but just put 50% of the ticket amount in the custom field at payment. Let us know who you're sharing with, either via email or in the "your needs" section at registration.
Will there be single-night tickets available?
Probably. We'll release tickets for single nights one month before the event starts IF we have the capacity.
How much does it cost?
To make the event as accessible as possible, we offer a sliding scale and will give as many discounts as we can afford, plus a limited number of free passes. This is made possible by the generosity of people who can afford to pay a little more!
Our registration fees for 2025 are on a sliding scale from £160-60.
What's the camper discount about?
That's for folks who are coming to Camp Kaleidoscope - our week-long residential - before the weekend. You can learn more about Camp here.
CHANGING PLANS
What's your cancellation policy?
We're happy to offer refunds up to one month before the event. After that, you're welcome to arrange a private transfer - just get in touch with us to make sure that we make it work behind the scenes too.
What's your sickness policy?
If you feel unwell, please test for Covid and do not attend if you test positive. If you have a mild virus that is not Covid, please keep everyone healthy by masking up! We'll have masks available on the front desk in a range of colours to suit your outfit.
LOGISTICS
Are you offering hosting?
We're not arranging hosting this time around, but once you've registered you will be invited to join our discord where you can link up with other attendees to share accomodation.
