Go Old Skool with Paul Stainton - and we have two pairs of tickets to give away

If you’ve ever fancied getting your festive groove on in truly memorable surroundings then make sure you keep December 13 clear in your diary.

Peterborough Cathedral has announced the return of Paul Stainton’s Xmas Old Skool Disco, a "step back in time” event which promises to ‘take your festive celebrations to the next level.’

Starting at 8pm on Friday December 13, this one-night only special will see the stunning interior of Peterborough Cathedral transformed into the ultimate retro disco destination, replete with on-site bar.

If you’ve never heard chart-topping dancefloor hits – along with iconic tracks from the 80’s and 90’s – fill a cathedral before then you’re in for a treat!

This is the second time the Cathedral has held a Paul Stainton Old Skool Disco event.

The legendary Peterborough DJ – now the Cathedral’s director of marketing and communications – is champing at the bit to break out the retro big guns and defrost that classic Mariah favourite.

“So many people came to our 80’s/90’s Old Skool Disco in the summer and told us how much they loved dancing to the hits of yesteryear in such a unique setting,” he said.

We heard it all,” Paul shared: “ 'There’s nowhere else for people our age to go and dance to this great music’; ‘It was so nice to come out and enjoy ourselves in such a safe place’; ‘I felt 19 again!,’ and, of course: ‘When are you doing it again?’”

The response to that sold-out event was so positive that it made the notion of doing a follow-up event inevitable:

‘Honestly, I’ve never seen so many happy people, smiling and having fun together, Paul recalled. “[So] that’s why we’re bringing it back - this time, with a Christmas twist!”

Promising an unforgettable blend of Christmas spirit, timeless tracks, and a dancefloor ready for your very best moonwalk, this event will undoubtedly appeal to anyone looking for an alternative office Christmas party or an upgraded festive works night out.

“Bring your friends, your work crew, or even your kids (over 18's) for a night to remember,” Paul implored.

“Let’s party like we used to, just for one night!”
