Surprisingly, the DJ spun his tunes right from the counter, clothed in the store apron. Napkins were whizzed through the air by T-shirt cannons, as partygoers were spotted grooving with their favourite pastries.
The peak of the event was when a Greggs employee took over the microphone chanting to the crowd: “When I say sausage, you say roll.”
The strong crowd responded in a shower of red confetti. In a viral clip which gained over 136,000 likes, Mia reflected, “POV: You went to a rave inside Northumberland St Greggs.”
Further adding in the caption remark: “I can now say I’ve been to a rave inside Greggs.”

“Fellow British DJ and producer Charlie Boon kicked off the night with a one-hour warm-up set before Schak and Will Atkinson took to the stage. It might be a one-of-a-kind experience for us, but this isn’t the first time Schak has performed somewhere unexpected.
“From the Tyne and Wear Metro to the top level of a double-decker bus it was only a matter of time before we rolled out the red carpet and hosted one of his performances at Greggs. If you missed out, fear not. Have a listen to ‘Yesterday’ by Schak & Will Atkinson x Abi Flynn on Armada Music.”
