Burrs Country Park Silent Disco Hike - 6pm

Good Friday Silent Disco Hike Adventure in the beautiful Burrs Country Park

Spend your Good Friday evening doing something a little different!

Join us for a Silent Disco Hike Adventure through Burrs Country Park, where riverside trails, spring greenery and music come together for an unforgettable start to the Easter weekend.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll set off along the scenic paths beside the River Irwell, exploring woodland trails, open space and relics of industrial heritage - from old mill sites to canalside paths - creating the perfect backdrop for music, movement and adventure.

Slip on your Silent Disco headphones, choose your channel and let the music guide your journey as dusk settles over the park.

Expect glowing headphones, relaxed hiking vibes, spontaneous dancing and that unmistakable feel-good energy that comes with a shared outdoor adventure!

On the night, you can expect:

On arrival, you will be given a Silent Disco headset device which will have:

• Three channels allowing you to select your preferred dance / sing-along tunes throughout the event 

• Illuminated earphones (Red, Green, or Blue) to indicate the channel you and your friends are listening to 

• Personalised volume control ​

Places on this event are strictly limited for due to the amount Silent Disco headsets available and to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all.
