A disappointed group of four are turned away at the heaving door of a boutique Edinburgh nightclub. It’s not Saturday night on George Street, it’s Sunday afternoon at cool indie club Electric Circus, and the group consists of mummy, toddler and daddy with baby on his shoulders. ‘Baby Loves Disco’ has sold out the previous two years; so, if you fancy dancing, book early. For the lucky ones, inside it’s disco delight, pumping 70s funk and pop into the main room, with feeds in the chill-out zone. On rotation, there are baby-type businesses occupying the back rooms. Be prepared: it gets hot, so bring plenty of water and snacks. And, of course, be prepared to dance with your baby!
Electric Circus, 7, 14, 21, 28 Aug, 11.00am (1.00pm) and 2.00pm (4.00pm), £8.00, fpp19.
