Disco In Furlough 4pm – 5pm
Barnaby Festival is delighted to be partnering with the Silent Adventures UK team for their unique Disco InFurloughs, which will celebrate our Vision theme with a playlist of specially selected music.
The aim is to get you off that sofa and showing off your unique repertoire of dance moves, with the addition of family-friendly games and classic banter.
The discos will be held online so you can boogie from the comfort of your own home whilst joining others, creating a party atmosphere.
