TODDLERS were strutting their stuff on the dance floor of a Bristol nightclub as part of the city's first 'Baby Loves Disco' event.

Organiser Jules Chandler, of St Anne's, set up the family event for children aged between six months and seven years to enjoy an afternoon of entertainment based around music.

And around 200 parents and children took advantage of the chance to boogie on a light-up dance floor at Oceana on the Harbourside to tunes from a range of DJs.

Also capturing the children's imaginations were bubble blowers, face-painting stalls and "chill out" rooms with tents, tunnels and play pads.

Ms Chandler, who has a two-year-old daughter called Charlotte, told the Evening Post: "It was the best clubbing experience I've ever had. It felt like I was reclaiming a bit of me."

The 35-year-old saw the event advertised online and was disappointed when she found that one did not exist in Bristol.

So she contacted the company and offered to organise their first Bristol gig which ran from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday.

"I think it's a really good way to get out and dance with your baby," she said. "We keep it hip and trendy, with real classic disco tunes, rather than just kiddy disco music."

Following the event's success it will return again at Oceana on September 18.
