Charity Shop DJ is a joyful, people-powered celebration of music, memories and community, spun from second-hand vinyl and packed with soul.
Charity Shop DJ is more than a DJ set. It’s a living, breathing, interactive party powered by people, community and creativity. Using vinyl rescued from charity shops, we invite you to dig through the crates, pick a track that means something to you and share that moment with others.
It’s music with meaning, celebration with soul, and a chance to rediscover just how much joy a party can hold.
Pick a Record – Flip through our charity shop vinyl crates and find a track you love.
Share Your Story – What does it mean to you? A memory, a moment, a feeling?
Learn the Decks – Our pro DJ guides will help you mix and fade with confidence.
Own the Dancefloor – Watch the crowd respond as your track spins into the mix.
Every party is different – because it’s made by the people who are there.
We’ve brought The People’s Party to street corners, festival fields, and grand stages – from Glastonbury to Royal Festival Hall. Wherever we land, we create a space for shared joy, collective expression, and a bit of good old-fashioned dancing.
Everyone is creative – Whether you're a vinyl veteran or just curious, the decks are open.
Everyone and everything has value – From second-hand records to your stories – it all matters.
The best parties are made together – A good night out becomes a great one when everyone’s invited to contribute.
Our work is built on community, joy, and the magic of music as a tool for connection and change.
Whether you’re running a festival, hosting a community event, or planning something out of the ordinary – we’d love to hear from you. We offer bespoke setups for:
Festivals
Community events
Public installations
Education & outreach
Creative commissions
We can host, MC, or collaborate with your lineup – creating a bespoke experience with 200 or 2,000 people.
It started with a crate of old vinyl and a simple idea: what if we could use music to bring people together?
Charity Shop DJ was born from the belief that the best parties don’t come from playlists – they come from people. Since then, we’ve travelled across the UK, spinning stories and tunes from second-hand records, bringing joy to dance floors big and small.
We’re proud to be a sister company to Paper Starlights, and part of a creative family passionate about sustainability, connection, and the power of celebration.
