Revellers that want a New Year’s Eve to remember can book late holidays to destinations throughout the UK and Ireland. From Edinburgh castle to the London eye and Cardiff castle, Britain’s landmarks form a spectacular backdrop to the fireworks, street parties and funfairs that welcome the New Year in. The English Premier league is the biggest of the European leagues not to have a winter break, so holidaymakers have the option of going to see some New Year’s Day football – a great way to recover from the partying of the night before.
London is the perfect place to go for a big night out on December 31st, particularly for the spectacular fireworks displays. The best fireworks can be found around Waterloo, with the London Eye as the backdrop to this huge display. Be sure to hit the shops on New Year’s Day, as this is when most launch massive sales.
There are so many cities to choose from in the north of England for a brilliant New Year’s Eve. For a lively New Year, head for the bright lights and fireworks of Manchester. The city is alive over Christmas and New Year’s and has some of the UK’s largest Christmas markets. For New Year’s Eve, holidaymakers can head to the Printworks where there are clubs bars and restaurants all under one roof. The convenience of it takes the stress out of last minute holidays and guarantees a good night.
Take advantage of the cheap flights to Scotland and visit Edinburgh for one of the best New Year’s celebrations in the UK – Hogmanay. Edinburgh becomes one of the party capitals of the world for five days, with the biggest night on the 31st of December. The Royal Mile is turned into a ‘river of fire’ by a 5000 person light parade before the fireworks and a street party that carries on well into the crisp winter night.
For those looking for somewhere special to spend this New Year’s Eve, think about staying right in the UK. With such inexpensive flights on offer, it’ll be a memorable but affordable break.
