Ilam Park: Silent Disco
Get ready to dance like no one’s watching—and no one’s listening either! Join us for an unforgettable Silent Disco at Ilam Park, where music meets nature!
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Get ready to bring the party to the park—quietly! The Silent Disco at Ilam Park returns for an unforgettable afternoon of music, movement and fresh air, with two themed sessions taking place in the beautiful National Trust grounds.
Session 1 runs from 2:00pm to 3:30pm, specially designed for families and younger guests. With a playlist full of kid-friendly hits, upbeat singalongs and playful dance tracks, children can bounce, boogie and bop to their heart’s content in a safe, picturesque setting.
Session 2 kicks off from 4:40pm to 6:00pm, turning up the nostalgia with a throwback celebration of the 80s and 90s. Think neon, pop, old-school anthems and dancefloor classics—perfect for grown-ups wanting to relive the glory days of disco. Each headset offers access to three different music channels, so you can switch between tracks and dance to your own beat while surrounded by stunning countryside views. Whether you're grooving with the kids in the afternoon or rewinding time with retro vibes later on, it's your soundtrack, your style, your silent party.
