The 31st December is one of the most anticipated events of the year, and we know that it can be a stressful time trying to plan out your evening. Luckily, in Dorset, there are so many different events going on that you are spoilt for choice with a range of events for whatever evening you desire!

 

Whether you want to glam up in black tie, mess around in fancy dress or get competitive on the golf course, Dorset has it all. Here is a list of the top ten events taking place in and around the beautiful south coast.

1. Weymouth Fancy Dress

Weymouth is host to a New Year’s Eve extravaganza that has been hailed as not only one of the best events in the UK but also in Europe! The whole town comes alive in fancy dress with live music inside pubs and clubs, and the whole of the harbour cordoned off to make space for a stage with al fresco bands playing your way into the new year. Fancy dress is taken very seriously so make sure you go in your most dazzling costume.

2. Pavilion Black Tie

Dress to impress and leave 2019 with a bang at the Bournemouth Pavilion Ballroom’s New Year’s Eve Party.

Expect to hear all your favourites of soul, pop and sing-a-long classics to help keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours of 2020.

3. New Year’s Eve Casino Royal

The Key West Bar and Grill on Bournemouth Pier will be transformed to fully immerse you in a black and red casino experience, with full room décor and live entertainment followed by a DJ and dancing.

What better way is there to start 2020?
