  The above only applies to events involving loud music. For events without loud music there is much more availability, please get in touch to check your date.

• On Mondays you can book a daytime party with music,so long as it ends by 1830. Please contact us to check availability.

If your date is not available:

Why not consider these alternatives:

• A "silent disco" is new technlogy where all the dancers wear a light-weigh headset and the DJ plays music using a transmitter, not loudspeakers. We don't have a reccommended supplier as yet but if you put the term "silent disco" into a search engine you will find plenty of firms offering this. A silent disco can be held at the museum on any day of the week until 2300. Our charges are lower than for normal disco events.
• A disco on a boat. The Prince Regent is a luxury charter boat that can take you to Paddington along the Regent's Canal, on any day of the week, and a disco can be held on board for up to 80 guests maximum. The Prince Regent can depart from the museum at 2100 or earlier (not later) to arrive at Paddington by 2330 at the latest. The museum's mooring can only be used in connection with a booking of the museum. So for example you could book the museum for a reception, followed by a dinner ending by 2100 at which time some or all of the guests embark for a disco cruise, possibly leaving others to relax in the museum for a little while longer. Guests wishing to return to King's Cross after the cruise can easily do so by Underground or bus route 205.

Please contact us to ask about availability of dates for events that do not include a disco or other loud music in the museum. Please contact the boat companies direct for availability of boats and prices. See Boat Charter
