Mom and dad make fake disco for their kids in backyard

These parents from Essex in southeast England have found a cure for life under coronavirus lockdown: a DIY at-home discotheque complete with dry ice and music for their children.

The clip, filmed in Saffron Walden on May 4, shows the Walker family's creative answer to the lockdown blues: by putting up some disco lights up and having a disco!

"We thought it would look good as a dancefloor so my husband Mark put our disco light in the umbrella to make a mini-disco for our kids Callum, Reece and Ruby," mom Laura explains.

"We run Saffron Walden Bouncy Castles and the light is from our disco castle.

We also have a smoke machine and a speaker, which we put on to add to the atmosphere!

My husband thought it would be fun to make it look like a proper club by pretending to be a bouncer," Laura added.
