As the clock strikes midnight attendees with full price tickets will be offered a glass of Gusbourne Champagne to toast in the new year, accompanied by an array of replenishing nibbles.

The Black Cat Cabaret and The Black Cat Ball

There will first be a 6.30pm cabaret show, priced from £24-29 per person as part of the company’s main festive season. Then from 9:30pm – 2:00am for £55 per person, including a glass of bubbly, revellers at The Black Cat Ball will be treated to a gloriously daring cabaret show, a promenade circus spectacle, live music, roving performers and an extended DJ set all held in the spectacular surroundings of the Paradiso Spiegeltent at Christmas in Leicester Square. Immerse yourself in the evening’s revelries with a dress code of ‘gold, red or black; silver-screen sirens and dapper gents’. Tickets are available to purchase here.

New Years Eve Party at Bobby’s 

Bobby Fitzpatrick will be throwing open the doors of his 1970s party pad for a nostalgic New Year’s Eve house party. Channelling the legendary disco groove of Studio 54, Bobby’s guests are encouraged to perfect their Stayin’ Alive falsettos, don their shiniest John Travolta shoes, and put Saturday Night Fever dance moves into practise. But, if you’re anything like Jona Lewie, (and you can always be found in the kitchen at parties), guests can join Bobby in his yellow wallpapered “kitchen” for a slice of thick crust Smoked Turkey and Sage Stuffing Pizza, all washed down with a Snow Ho Ho slushy or a glass of potent sharing punch. With DJs playing retro tunes throughout the night and, dressing up strongly encouraged, Bobby Fitzpatrick brings back the feel of seventies house parties (without the keys in a bowl!). For £10 advance tickets call 020 7433 1989 or pay £15 on the door.

Out of Town…

If you fancy venturing further afield, why not book a room at Buckinghamshire’s Stoke Place, and save the hassle of Ubering it home after their glamorous dinner and dance night. Tickets are £95 per person, which gets you a glass of Prosecco on arrival, a selection of canapes and a three course meal, half a bottle of wine, a toast drink at midnight, and a snack to keep you going into the early hours. Phew. After all that you’ll need a lie down in one of their regal rooms. For more info click here.
