Three popular events to return to iconic Northampton venue’s dancefloor this autumn – don’t miss out
These three popular events are set to return to an iconic Northampton venue’s dancefloor this autumn, and you do not want to miss out.
Boombastic Events was launched by John and Katie Donaghue in October 2014 and the business offers experiences that are inclusive for people of all ages to come along and enjoy themselves.
John did not anticipate turning his passion into a business would be as big of a success as it has been – and it all stemmed from a nineties night he hosted, with a background as a DJ at the Roadmender and Soundhaus.
The Silent Disco Project, formerly known as The Good Times Project, was established later on in the pair’s journey in 2023.
The sessions are designed to engage participants of all ages and abilities, while allowing them to express themselves freely and connect with others in an inclusive way. They promote positive mental health through the magic of silent disco.
Daytime disco brand THE 2PM CLUB is the latest addition and has been selling out Northampton venues for more than two years. It is now packing rooms out across the region, in Leicester, Coventry, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Luton too.
The Northampton community has three very different dancefloor dates to choose from at The Picturedrome this autumn, and it begins with Boombastic 90s on September 12 from 8.30pm until 12.30am. The evening runs through the decade’s pop, dance and indie favourites.
Two weeks later on September 26, the Silent Disco Greatest Hits event will return with three headphone channels – pop, indie and dance. Guests can switch between the DJs throughout the night and choose their own soundtrack.
The run concludes on October 3 from 2pm until 6pm with THE 2PM CLUB Daytime Disco: 80s Edition. It brings the energy of a night out into the afternoon, with four hours of eighties anthems and an early finish.
John told the Chronicle & Echo: “The Picturedrome gives us the chance to offer Northampton three genuinely different parties, bridging the gap between summer and the festive season. Whether people want a full nineties night, the choice of three silent disco channels or an afternoon of eighties anthems, there is a date for them and their friends.”
