AS ENGLAND kick-off against Italy on Saturday evening one Chelmsford nightclub will hold an event like no other in the city, with its World Cup-themed silent disco.
Football fans heading to Chicago's, in Moulsham Street, for the national team's first match of the tournament will be able to enjoy all the action screened live on big screens throughout the night.
But those still keen on a dance can do so uninterrupted by the match commentary using wireless headphones playing music.
Billy Duke, who works at the club, said: "Playing the England game this way is a great idea because the silent disco combines two interests and it allows everyone to feel a part of the World Cup festivities."
The match will be displayed on a big screen and all other televisions in the venue from 11pm with live commentary played through the venue's speakers.
For those who would rather boogie through the game but still keep track of the action on the screens, there will be a silent disco with eight hundred headphones available.
The headphones will play music on two channels with one playing classic floor-fillers, and the other the best party tunes from the last 12 months.
Once the England match finishes, the music switch entirely to the speakers for what will be the "biggest after party in Essex", according to Chicago's central office.
Open till 4am on Saturday night the club hopes to provide the ideal venue for fans and revellers alike to celebrate victory, or drown their sorrows after the game.
"I think England will win against Italy and so the party will really kick-off afterwards," added barman Billy.
There will also be face-painters on the night to get people into the World Cup spirit while the famous Chicago's Bull mascot will be donning an England shirt for the evening.
Jae Hopkins, marketing director at Chicago Leisure Ltd, added: "As a company we're really excited to be offering a new twist on a football-focused evening, and see it as a great way to make sure everyone can get behind the England team, while having a fun Saturday night out in a way that suits them best."
