Spectacular Silent Disco Venues in the UK

After Glastonbury introduced the revolutionary ‘Silent Disco’ in 2005, the muted party phenomenon has been popping up at festivals, house parties and events across the UK ever since. With no noise restrictions, and with famous fashion figures such as Marc Jacobs favouring the silent party, there’s no wonder the trend has elevated in recent years.  Below is our pick of Britain’s most spectacular Silent Disco venues.
