Silent Disco Dancing in Newcastle: Flash Mob Adventure

Dance through Newcastle's streets in wireless headsets while strangers watch you moonwalk past landmarks

A one-hour silent disco activity in Newcastle where you wear wireless headsets and dance through the city streets (moonwalking around The Monument, shimmying past Eldon Centre, and boogieing through Grainger Market) led by an Adventure Host who keeps the beats and the group moving together. Arrive 15 minutes early at Chiquitos in Eldon Square. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather, as tours run in the rain.

• Boogie in Grainger Market

The experience

One hour of dancing through Newcastle's streets while wearing hi-tech wireless headsets that pump the same music into everyone's ears at once. You move as a silent disco: a roaming flash mob of strangers all grooving to the same beat, visible to passersby but inaudible to them. The Adventure Host guides the route and controls the playlist, mixing theme songs and pop hits across the decades. Your inhibitions drop as the laughter starts. By the time you're moonwalking around The Monument, you're part of the spectacle.

The route takes you past three Newcastle landmarks: shimmy your way past Eldon Centre, boogie between the booths in Grainger Market, and hit the Monument with your best moves. The headsets stay on the whole time, so the music never stops and neither do you. You'll need comfy shoes or trainers and a moderate level of fitness. This is dancing, not strolling. Tours run in the rain, so bring a rain coat if the forecast looks wet.

Meet at Chiquitos in Eldon Square, which you'll find by entering from Grey's Monument and heading up the escalators past Shake Shack. The venue is wheelchair accessible via lift, and public transport options are nearby. Arrive around 15 minutes early. The meeting point offers up to 40% discount on food and drink when you mention Silent Adventures: 25% Monday to Friday, 40% on Saturdays.

What’s included

• Advanced radio headsets that play the music to your ears only.

Is this one for you?One hour is short enough to fit into the rest of your day in Newcastle, but long enough to move through three landmarks and feel like you've actually danced through the city, not a quick novelty, but a real activity with a beginning, middle and end.

Do I need to be a good dancer to join this?

Where exactly do we meet and how do I find it?

Meet at Chiquitos in Eldon Square. From Grey's Monument, enter Eldon Square, pass Shake Shack on your left, and head up the escalators: Chiquitos is at the top and signposted throughout the food quarter. Arrive around 15 minutes before your tour starts.
