It’s
officially the party season so if you haven’t made plans for New Year’s Eve
already, you might want to get thinking about it soon!
There’s
nothing worse than building up to the big day, getting excited, planning your
outfits and then when it gets to it, you don’t have a set plan, you can’t get a
taxi to town and there are queues at every bar.
Don’t be
disappointed again this year; take control and take off on a last minute UK
break. Here are some top suggestions of places to visit where you can be sure
to have a great time on December 31st.
Edinburgh

Edinburgh
is a popular choice for UK mini breaks with great transport links and so much
choice of accommodation. Arguably, the best time of year to visit is over
Christmas and new year. The world famous Hogmanay event takes over the city on
New Year’s Eve and thousands flock here to enjoy the festivities and fireworks.
With dancing, food and music; this notorious street party is something everyone
needs to experience.
London
England’s
capital always has a lot to offer and on New Year’s Eve you can guarantee there
are plenty of good times to be had here. If you’re looking for something a
little different to the standard plans of drinks and fireworks then why not try
out the Southbank Centre?
Vintage
fans, get very excited because New Year’s Eve at the Southbank Centre is set to
see the venue transform to become a glimpse of partying past, stepping back in
time to celebrate throughout the decades. From 20s glamour to the swinging 60s,
travel through time and explore all the different themed pop up bars and clubs,
learn traditional dances and sample the popular flavours of the different eras.
Northumberland – Tar Bar’l Festival

The annual
Tar Bar’l festival in Allendale, Northumberland, offers the opportunity to
experience New Year’s Eve in a whole new, or rather old, light.
This
traditional festival comes from the Dark Ages and sees a procession of costumed
men carry on their heads flaming barrels of tar as they make their way through
the town, marching to the beat of the band before ceremoniously throwing the
barrels on a bonfire and ringing in the new year.
It’s
certainly something different to enjoy!
St Ives – Fancy Dress
To really
make the most of the holiday season, take this opportunity to enjoy an extended
break and explore Cornwall. With the great deals you can get with Parkdean Holidays you can take advantage of their well-placed
holiday parks to see the best of this stunning county.
For
revellers looking to party the night away on NYE, try an evening in St Ives,
but don’t forget your costume! This friendly town has a fancy dress
extravaganza every year to celebrate the occasion and the whole community gets
into the spirit of things.

In Association with Parkdean holidays.
Legoland sounds fun :) a night at my sister's this year, kids to bed early and cocktails for the grown ups!
ReplyDeleteLove Edinburgh at New year but no good for wee ones,look forward to taking Gemma when she is older. The cold and getting home on a bus is a hassle now I am older - never bothered me as a youngster ;)
Hope you had fun! It's always a tough choice deciding what to do on New Year. Everywhere is always so busy x
