A group of protesters plans to gather outside Canterbury Cathedral tomorrow evening to “peacefully” object to a dance event being held in the cathedral’s interior.

Labelled by some as the “rave in the Nave”, its organisers at the cathedral argue that the event called 90's Silent Disco In The Cathedral is a way to raise much needed funds for the cathedral and to grow awareness about religion among younger generations.  

The protestors, however, have branded the event – that will run for two nights – as “absurd” and described it as an “alcohol fuelled rave” that will do nothing for the faith, reports the Daily Telegraph.
