Canterbury Cathedral Hosts Controversial Silent Discos

The historic cathedral's decision to host 90s-themed silent discos has sparked debate between supporters and protesters.

Canterbury Cathedral's inaugural 90s Silent Disco events aim to attract new audiences and raise funds, drawing both enthusiasm and criticism.
Protesters outside the cathedral argue that the event is inappropriate for a holy site, while attendees appreciate the unique experience.
The Dean of Canterbury emphasizes that the discos are respectful and in line with the cathedral's role in community life.
Critics, including a petition with over 1,700 signatures, argue the event sends the wrong message about the church's values.
The events sold out quickly, highlighting a divide in perceptions of the cathedral's use for secular versus sacred purposes.
