With most New Year’s Eve parties are not suitable for children, a lot of parents will prefer to see in 2023 with a night at home. Family friendly New Year’s Eve Celebrations are not so easy to find but there are still a few venues with tickets available for those of you who wish to spend the last night of the year with the kids or just can’t find a babysitter.
Of course you can always stay home and make your own fun with a dance party or special evening meal but if you want a night out, or to do something in the afternoon to mark the special day we've found some options.
If you don’t fancy keeping the kids out so late, there are a couple of daytime events. Below you can find links to tickets and one event on the list that is free entry.
