Silent Disco

The Natural History Museum is hosting a Silent Disco in Hintze Hall on Friday 30 October, one of those out-of-hours nights when the museum stays open long after the day crowds have gone. It's an 18+ event, so it's for adults rather than families, and it runs from 22:00 until 01:00.

The whole thing takes place in Hintze Hall, the museum's main entrance hall, with dancefloor lighting across the space. The silent disco format means three DJs play simultaneously across three separate wireless channels, each threading together new and old songs. You switch between them on your headphones, so you can pick the one you're feeling or jump between them as the night goes on.

There's a full bar serving a range of drinks, and if you want to step up, a VIP wristband gets you a private balcony overlooking the dance floor with its own dedicated bar, early entry, and cloakroom access. It's an 18+ night run under a Challenge 25 policy, so keep your ID handy. Bookings are required and there are no refunds.

Tickets start at £42, with a members' price of £37.80. The museum is on Cromwell Road, with the central entrance as your way in. It runs from 22:00 to 01:00, so it's a late one.
