Famed for being one of the liveliest night scenes in the UK, you really are spoilt for choice on New Year’s Eve in Liverpool. If you are looking for a party to bring the house down, Garlands presents a New Year’s Eve bash to remember. Pumping house and classic hits, Garlands is the Ibiza of the North West! The Camel Club will be playing RnB and hip hop into the small hours and Mood and Baa Baa will also be pumping out the sounds loud until late. Hits from the 60’s to the 90’s will see out 2008 in Mosquito. Or, how about travelling back in time to the 70’s to move forward into 2009? For an unforgettable New Year’s Eve in Liverpool, put on your wig, bell bottoms and platforms and Boogie on down to Flares retro disco.

If it’s a grand finale to 2008 you’re after, tickets for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s Last Night Of The Proms are a must. They’ll be playing all the classics you’d expect including Jerusalem, Land Of Hope And Glory and Rule Britannia, along with favourites from Lennon and Mc Cartney and West Side Story. Auld Lang Syne will round off this gala evening as the clock strikes 12.

For a romantic, glamorous and mysterious end to 2008, don your mask, leave your gondola outside and enter The Venetian Masquerade themed party at Knowsley Park. A champagne reception, 5 course silver service meal and a highland piper at midnight are the highlights of this enchanted evening in magical Venice. You’re only problem will be working out who is behind the mask!

If you’re feeling lucky, usher in the New Year in Liverpool at the Leo Casino. An a-la-carte meal will be served, accompanied by live entertainment. Will you hit the jack pot on the roulette tables?
