Silent discos to be held in London's Cutty Sark and Natural History Museum
POSTED 22 Jan 2016 . BY Tom Anstey
Time Out has had great success with its silent discos in London
Time Out is turning some of London’s most prominent historical attractions into temporary rave sites, with fun-loving dancers making their way to the Cutty Sark tonight (22 January) and then the main hall of the Natural History Museum next month for sold-out silent discos.

The silent disco – where people dance to music playing through wireless multi-channel headphones – is not new to Time Out, which in 2014 held an event at The View from The Shard to great success, turning the event there into a semi-regular happening.

Now for the first time ever, the over-18s disco comes to the heritage location of the Cutty Sark – one of only three remaining clipper ships from the nineteenth century – with party-goers going below-deck for an evening of entertainment, while the main deck will feature a stargazing session hosted by an astronomer from the Royal Observatory of Greenwich.

On 12 February London’s Natural History Museum turns into an “after-school club for grown-ups”, with the museum opening up to over 18s in the evening to explore the museum and then enjoy a silent disco, with Hintze Hall, the location of the museum’s famous diplodocus, becoming a dance floor.

Further silent discos in London are planned through the year, with an event planned for the Millbank Tower in Westminster on 25 November.
