Silent Disco

The Closet Bar & Nightclub is hosting its Silent Disco on Tuesday 3 November, part of a regular that runs on the first Saturday of every month. If you've never done one, the whole thing is built around three DJs playing on three separate channels at once, and you get to pick which one you listen to. You switch between them on your own headphones, so you're in control of your own soundtrack for the night. The channels usually cover dance, R&B, and urban music, and the club describes the format as 'three DJs, three channels, one epic night'.

It's a good way of doing things if you're out with a group that can't agree on the music. One person can stick to the dance floor, another to R&B, and you can still dance next to each other while listening to completely different things. And since you're the one switching, you can jump between channels whenever you feel like it.

The Closet is one of Weymouth's more active spots, open four nights a week with a pretty wide range of nights. They do high-energy pop and DJ nights, drag shows, themed events, cocktail brunches, quiz nights, and karaoke, alongside the silent discos and exclusive parties. They also have private hire and designated areas for hen and stag dos, birthdays, and work functions, so it's a venue that handles a fair bit of the town's nightlife. The silent disco is just one of the things they run.

Doors open at 7pm, and the disco itself kicks off at 7:30pm, running well into the early hours. Entry is £6 from 10pm, and there are selected cocktails available at the bar throughout the night. The Closet is at 23 St Edmund Street, Weymouth, DT4 8AS.
