Silent Adventures is an Edinburgh-based experience company that runs guided silent disco walking tours across multiple UK cities. The company offers one-hour immersive walking parties where participants wear hi‑tech wireless headsets, listen to curated playlists, and take part in spontaneous flash mobs led by energetic local hosts. Tours are designed to combine live guiding, communal dancing, and playful performance elements that transform public streets into temporary dance floors.
Silent Adventures operates seasonal and city-specific events, including a dedicated Fringe offering in August and festive Silent Disco Adventures in December in several locations. Typical trips last 60 minutes and follow a roaming route past notable city streets and landmarks. The business advertises the use of modern headsets and a soundtrack that spans decades, encouraging group participation and memorable moments.
Silent Adventures markets experiences in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool and Cardiff, with specific listings for festival and holiday variations. The company’s format is presented as suitable for groups, friends, families (noting family-focused festive events in Manchester), and solo travellers seeking an active, social alternative to conventional tours. Hosts facilitate the experience, manage equipment, and guide participants through the planned route.
By focusing on consistent tour length, headset technology, and themed events (Fringe in August; festive tours in December), Silent Adventures positions itself as a specialist provider of high-energy, themed silent disco walking tours across the UK.
