Mini‑Disco in the Dial: Kingsbridge’s Tiny Nightclub
What’s the Buzz About?
In the charming Devon town of Kingsbridge, a familiar red telephone box has been spruced up into what enthusiasts claim might be the world’s smallest nightclub. Picture a glitterball, disco lights, and a playlist that’s all about phones! Think Blondie’s “Hanging On The Telephone” or Electric Light Orchestra’s “Telephone Line”—but hear them over the phone lines themselves.
How to Get in the Groove
- Locate the classic red box in the heart of Kingsbridge.
- Drop a pound coin in the slot—no credit-card, no Poké‑pop, just good old cash.
- Grab a seat (or two, if you’ve got a buddy) and let the lights flash while the music dances through the speakers.
Why a Nightclub?
With mobile phones making public pay‑phones almost extinct, locals started brainstorming ways to keep these nostalgic relics alive. Ideas went from a flower garden to a leaflet stand, but the council (and a bit of creative madness) settled on bringing a party into the past. Councillor Chris Povey shares, “I was nodding off from the excitement, so we decided to do something a bit off‑the‑wall—a nightclub, with a glitterball, flashing lights, and all that jazz.”
Paying It Forward
Every spin of the dial helps a local charity. So, what you’re really doing is spreading good vibes and a little kindness—via a phone box that’s dancing to classic tunes.
