      I think there is a real difference between a ‘free party’ and an ‘illegal rave’ but apparently some people think they are exactly the same thing :crazy:

        personally i think the term illegal rave is used more by the papers when they are reporting about a party that has gone wrong or got busted. It just sounds worse than free party. it would probably be in capitols as well if the sun had anything to do with it, like

        ‘an ILLEGAL RAVE in a remote place caused a slight nuisance to HONEST TAX PAYERS’

            hmmm gotta be honest i’ve always associated them with the same thing

            weidly if i say illegal rave i imagine an indoor rave, squat or warehouse etc.

            and free party i imagine an outdoor one

            but i always used both terms for the same thing

                in East Anglia the terms are used interchangeably

                unfortunately its does also seem that a lot of people attending do now enjoy the “law breaking ” element of these things, not just the “Robin Hood” element but the more criminal side as well..

                    I think most people consider them to be the same things, however i don’t like calling em illegal parties as i don’t see anything illegal bout em so i usually use the term ‘Free party’.

                            Hmm – it seems my use of language has drifted from the norm again :laugh_at::crazy_fre

                            To me a free party is one where the police do not turn up [most of the parties I go to never get visited by the police at all].

                            An illegal rave is one which is causing some kind of nuisance and gets told to shut down. It also covers [for me] an event which has been publicly advertised [flyers, internet, etc] as these constitue a violation of the PEL legislation. Basically an event which has come to the attention of the authorities and annoyed them in whatever way.

                                    TBH I think one reason for the crossover in terms (particularly here in Suffolk/Essex area) is that pretty much all parties in recent times have annoyed the authorities and are thus treated as illegal, yet many people are defiant at least until they start losing kit more than once and/or go to jail

                                    Even then sentences aren’t that long and rigs are replaced by selling drugs so In other words people no longer feel any shame in doing illegal…
