This summer, Peterborough Cathedral is set to ignite nostalgia and celebration with an outdoor Old Skool Summer Disco in the historic Cloisters. On Friday, June 27th, join us for an unforgettable evening under the stars, reliving the vibrant energy of Peterborough’s legendary clubbing era from the 1980s and 1990s.

Step into the Glastonbury vibe right in the heart of the city centre as the sun sets, surrounded by the iconic architecture of the Cloisters. Dance to an electrifying soundtrack filled with the anthems that defined a generation, echoing the spirit of venues like 5th Avenue, Shanghai Sam’s, Quo Vardis, and L’Aristo’s.

Headlining the event is Paul Stainton, a name synonymous with Peterborough’s nightlife, known for his legendary sets at Shanghai Sam’s and 5th Avenue. Joining him for a special reunion is guest DJ Eddie Nash, marking their first collaboration in over 35 years.

“I cannot wait to see people dancing in the cloisters as the sun goes down, it will be a magical experience,” says Paul. “Such a privilege to be playing the classic tunes that we all love in such a magical place. It’s three decades since Eddie and I shared the decks at Shanghai Sam’s, and we want to recapture the magic of those club nights in the Cloisters, playing top choons, under the moon!”

Whether you’re reliving the retro nights of the past or experiencing the essence of a Glastonbury weekend, don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the sounds of a generation within an extraordinary setting.
