Be Kind and Rewind

Well, we are probably going to make a lot of people feel old by saying this, but here goes; the 80’s were thirty years ago. Ok, so it’s not so bad that it makes people feel that old, but it can sting a little bit to remember the days when VCR’s were new technology and we always—well, usually—heeded the notice on the box that asked us to be kind and rewind the video for the next customer.

Rewind Back to the Eighties

In the same spirit of the rewind ethos, there is now a festival to honour the 80’s classics. On 18th – 20th July, Scone Palace will play host to the popular Rewind Festival. Here at the Murraypark Hotel we are looking forward to welcoming a whole batch of guests who are planning to attend. If you haven’t already booked your accommodation then check out our great rates to make your weekend even more fun (without a sweaty festival tent!).

There’s a whole host of fun events planned but we are most looking forward to trying the silent disco. You probably never been to a silent disco but they are actually a great deal of fun. There will be two DJ’s playing their own music on two different channels meaning not everyone will be dancing to the same tune! People who come to the disco are given headphones with options to flick between each channel making it a fun experience for all.

Want to Jump the Broomstick?

There will also be an inflatable church—the chapel of love—for those who want to get married with a 100 strong audience. Oh, and don’t forget the fun fair, the fireworks, the kid zone, and grab your microphones for The Big Sing.  Speaking of singing, you won’t want to miss the sing-along with all the live bands that will be appearing on the stages. Bands from the 80’s will include the Boomtown Rats, Nick Heyward—from Haircut 100—Blancmange and many others, so come and see for yourself.
