New Year’s Eve: Make it a night to remember with Three
December 21, 2018
Well, here we are. Christmas has summoned us back to our home towns. Big reunions and New Year’s Eve plans are in the making. Where do you turn to find out just what’s going on? And where do you go for your big celebration to see in the new year?
When is New Year’s Eve?
New Year’s Eve on 31 December – the day before New Year’s Day. And this year that’s on a Monday.
Is it a bank holiday?
Unlike Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, though, New Year’s Eve isn’t a bank holiday. So, unless you’ve booked it off on annual leave, you might be stuck heading into the office.
Where to go for New Year’s Eve
Whether you’re planning to go to the local bar, or you’re looking for the biggest and best celebration around, there’s a few ways to search where to go for New Year’s Eve.

For some good ol’ fashioned family fun: Heads Up!
Not everyone’s into partying, drinking and loud music, and that’s completely ok. Planning on spending NYE accompanied by nothing more than Jools Holland and the fireworks on TV? Then why not spice things up with one of our favourite games: Heads Up!
