The Best Places to Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Canterbury
InQuire’s Website Entertainment Editor, Grace Beard, counts down the best ways to celebrate the New Year in Canterbury, from the cheap and cheerful to the truly extravagant.
5) The Old Brewery Tavern
If you’re not looking to spend too much but still after a decent night out, get your hands on a £5 wristband to guarantee entry to The Old Brewery Tavern’s New Year’s party, boasting two DJs until 3am. Wristbands are available from the aBode hotel reception desk. More information can be found here.
4) Club Chemistry
Start the night with a free glass of bubbly and end it stumbling home in the harsh morning light – Chemistry is the only place in Canterbury open right up until 6am this New Year’s Eve. Although with drink deals cheaper than cheesy chips, hats off to you if you do make the 6am walk of shame. Tickets for a tenner and VIP packages can be bought here.
3) Chill
If you’re feeling classy, Chill is hosting a glamorous New Year’s Eve celebration with a dress code of Tux and Tiaras. The bash promises an extravagant series of events from a midnight balloon drop to confetti canons and free tiaras. Book tickets for £12.50 online here, or pay £15 on the door. VIP packages are also available if you feel like splashing out.
You can’t go wrong with bringing in the New Year at The Cuban’s blow-out NYE bash. Get your glad rags on and dance 2014 away with three floors of party anthems, chart, house, hip-hop and RnB. Tickets sell out quick and are priced at £20 – to get yours, head to The Cuban or buy them online here. More information and table reservations are available by calling 01227464464.
1) The Ballroom
The Ballroom’s Black & White Masquerade Ball is by far the most decadent way to spend this New Year’s Eve, with a strict black and white dress code and fancy invitation-style tickets. With entry at a reasonable £20, including complimentary champagne, canapés and ‘extra special surprises’, this exclusive event in Canterbury’s most opulent venue is our pick of the bunch. Tickets are purchasable by contacting The Ballroom in advance of the event.
