A large crowd of music fans flocked to an outside disco in Mapperley on Saturday (8) – but neighbours had no cause for noise complaints.
The sold out silent disco event was held in Haywood Community Centre Garden and takes place at the site each year.
The disco started back in 2017 and each year raises proceeds towards the running of the Haywood Road Community Centre – a much valued community centre run by dedicated volunteers.
There was something for everyone with revellers being able to switch between three DJs playing disco, old skool, cheesy pop, rock, reggae, rave, indie, R & B and drum & bass.
Residents in Mapperley celebrated back in 2020 when the council handed them the keys to Haywood Road Community Centre after they successfully fought to save it from closure.
Comments on the centre’s facebook social channel included:
“Brilliant community event, & fabulous atmosphere. Big thanks to the organisers”
“We had the best time, thank you everyone involved”
“It was totally worth it for the massive smiles from everyone… a little thunder storm ain’t gonna stop Mapperley dancing!”
Early indications are that the event raised almost £2400 for the community centre.
