Please bring cash for your headphone deposit. You can pay for everything else by card or cash. Although we accept card, we highly recommend bringing some cash as a back-up should there be any technological issues.
There are two ATMs in Cullercoats:
- One Stop, St George's Rd

We cannot guarantee that these ATMs will still have cash so please prepare yourself before you come!

Alcohol/drugs vaping
smoking
Only drinks bought at the event are to be consumed. (Drinking water available from the bar)
Drugs are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
We understand you may wish to vape or smoke at the event and so we have provided buckets for ‘tab ends’. Please be mindful of others’ space when smoking/vaping. (Smoking is prohibited in and around the marquee areas)
Bag Checks
Our security team will be performing bag checks on entrance.
WEATHER
Of course we are hoping for fine weather but, being an outdoor event, it is open to the elements. The ‘show will go on’ in wet weather and will only be stopped if the weather compromises safety.
Even in good weather the temperature can drop later into the evening.
Please come prepared (wet weather gear AND sunscreen recommended and think ‘practical’).
Seating
There will be no seating available at the event. You’ll be pleased to know the sand is nice and soft! Feel free to bring your own chairs however we would ask that these are placed around the edge, not ‘the dancefloor’
Entrance requirements
As per our Terms and Conditions, the evening events are strictly over 18’s.
Anyone who is deemed to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs will be denied entry.
Accessibility

First aid
We are not expecting any particular risks to our Silent Disco Dancers however we understand that accidents can happen. For this reason, we have a dedicated First Aid team on hand throughout the event.
Safer spaces
Silent Disco on the Beach is a joyous, welcoming event where everyone should be given a safe space to enjoy themselves. If you are troubled by unwanted attention or someone else’s behaviour please speak to a member of the bar staff or security team. If you feel unsafe and unable to say so openly just ask for Angela and we’ll find a place for you to talk/arrange a route for you.
