With the most exciting night of the year coming up, it’s time to start making plans for a Brighton night out on New Year’s Eve. Residents and visitors have endless options of what to choose to ring in the New Year, so we’ve highlighted some of the best options to help make this decision easier.
Visit a Seaside Casino
With the famous fireworks at Brighton Pier scheduled to take place at midnight, finding somewhere with seaside views is a priority for many. Fortunately, there are several casinos that line the seafront, each with a full schedule of live entertainment, dining, and guest packages available to keep guests comfortable.
There are, of course, plenty of table games and slots to play too. In preparation for a visit, claim a casino sign up bonus to receive bonus funds and free spins that can be wagered on popular slots, roulette, blackjack, and more. These provide a great opportunity to learn the rules of games before playing them in a land-based setting.
Book a Winter Igloo
Inspired by the popular trend in London, several venues in The Lanes and on the seafront now offer igloo packages to guests. OhSo Social is one such seafront restaurant that is selling New Year’s Eve packages in these clear domed pods, with private heating, atmospheric lighting, and personal speaker systems perfect for groups.
The Coppa Club in Brighton Square also offers these pods, with a seasonal menu set to showcase the best in festive flavours. Whether visiting to get the night started or to countdown the new year, these venues are a great way to be out among the revellers while unwinding in an intimate, private space.
NYE Comedy at Komedia
Looking for dinner, a show, and a late-night boogie all in one place? The NYE Comedy event at Komedia on Gardner Street has everything one would want from a New Year’s night out. The evening kicks off with a stand-up comedy showcase from 7 PM hosted by Brighton’s best and funniest local comics.
Following this, the space will transform into a disco party, with the 70s-themed Boogie Wonderland promising the biggest hits from the decade from 10 PM. Both events have become institutions of sorts in Brighton, so it’s best to book in advance to secure a ticket.
Cabaret at Stanmer House
For the first time in five years, the Cabarave party will be hosted in the beautiful Grade 1-listed mansion Stanmer House. Surrounded by the beautiful gardens of Stanmer Park, the legendary party offers two music and cabaret stages, immersive entertainment rooms and more between the hours of 9 PM and 3 AM.
Performers include rave legends Ed Cox and Spongebob Squarewave, Burlesque superstars Cherry Shakewell and Aurora Starr, drag star Kandi Krush, and circus artists Laura Loops and Esmerelda Rose. Tickets are selling out fast, so interested readers will want to get in quickly for this stacked night of entertainment.
As the UK’s nightlife capital, Brightonians have the difficult task of choosing which of the many events to attend. Whether comedy, burlesque, igloo dining, or casino gameplay, these options promise to welcome the New Year in style.
