Welcome to Bristol, a vibrant city with a rich cultural history that includes many a good party! With the countdown now on for New Year's celebrations, have you decided on where you will be celebrating? From the intimate The Square Club to the large and buzzy festival-like Propyard, here are five excellent options that offer different experiences for you and your friends...
1) New Year's Eve at The Square Club
The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol | Tickets from £90.00.
First up is The Square Club's New Year's Celebration which is looking to have guests 'groove into 2024' with this year's theme of DISCO! Tickets include a free bar (all night long), live music and one serious buffet for hungry party-goers. A class act, all around!
2) NYE Carnival: Rumble in the Jungle X Propyard
39-46 Feeder Road, Bristol, BS2 0SE | Tickets from £14.00.
For those looking for a wild DNB, Jungle or UK Bass party, the St Philips-based NYE Carnival: Rumble in the Jungle X Propyard might be just the thing. Propyard bills itself as an 'immersive playground' and for this event, the colourful magic of carnival has been a key creative influence. With four unique areas to explore including the Studio, Crane Room, Courtyard and Terrace, we feel this is the pick for those who can't get enough of festivals!
3) In:Motion New Years Eve: Groove Armada
Motion, 74-78 Avon St, Bristol | Tickets now £34.60.
In:Motion New Years Eve: Groove Armada sees the London dance heavyweights (comprised of Tom Findlay and Andy Cato) return to Bristol's Motion. Tracks like 'I See You Baby' and 'Superstylin' from Groove Armada are guaranteed to get the dancing going as they celebrate 25 years as a group. The full lineup will be announced soon but don't hang around if you are after tickets...
4) UTOPIA Presents: New Years Eve 2023
The South Buildings, Canons Road, Bristol, BS1 5UH | Tickets from £8.00.
Situated right next to the Harbourside, UTOPIA Presents: New Years Eve 2023 is back at PRYZM BRISTOL. Dubbed as their biggest event yet (quite the feat) this New Year's Eve celebration has everything you need, quality DJ sets, UV slinks, giant inflatables and a 5 am closing time for the most energetic of partygoers.
5) CIRQUE New Year’s Eve 2023
59-63 Baldwin St, St Nicholas St, Bristol BS1 1QZ | Tickets from £14 + booking fee.
Last up on our round-up is CIRQUE New Year’s Eve 2023 which is hosted by Baldwin Street's Revolution Bristol. Describing their upcoming New Year's antics as 'weird & wonderful', the event will include fire breathers, performers, confetti cannons and much more. This is starting to sound like something out of the film BABYLON! Cheers!
