Something A Little Different For New Year's Eve 2025 In Brighton

Brighton's social season gets a dazzling highlight this year. The Carnival Extravaganza: A Charity New Year's Eve Gala transforms the usual countdown into an evening of luxe-meets-carnival flair.

With your £130 ticket, expect first-class hospitality - from welcome refreshments and canapés to a three-course feast, fine wine, and midnight bubbles. Entertainment keeps energy high until 1am in the swanky setting of DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole. The style directive? Black tie - but why not throw in a carnival accessory and stand out among the city's trendsetters while supporting the Starr Trust.

PRYZM's New Year's Eve bash is back for 2025. So, what to expect at this unique event? Plenty of UV-themed antics, from lights to glowsticks and decor. If you're looking to throw some shapes, there will also be a lineup of top-notch DJs on the decks.

It's time to really let loose this New Year's Eve, as Lucky Voice Brighton fuses all the most debaucherous parts of Japanese karaoke culture with a world class cocktail bar and late night partying. Bringing in 2025 with a bit of Britney? You bet'cha.

For a New Year's Eve that's a little different, head to The Mesmerist's Flipside 70s cocktail bar. Retro-inspired drinks meet laid-back vintage cool in this decadent, intimate space - perfect if you want to toast 2026 in style.

Beyond Flipside, the venue offers a buzzing multi-space experience with DJs, a live music stage, and a rooftop, so you can mix dancing, cocktails, and city views all in one night.

Head to Brighton i360 for a sky-high New Year's Eve party, complete with stunning views of the beachfront and beyond from their elevated glass pod. This event promises non-stop entertainment, with a live band, DJ and glitter artist in attendance.

You'll be welcomed with a complimentary cocktail as part of your £16.50 ticket. Plus, you can even begin the evening with a delicious three-course dinner.

With walls splattered in vintage vinyl and a playlist dedicated to old records, Bond Street hangout Dead Wax Social is the best of Brighton pubs this New Year's Eve if you're too cool for commercial hits. Naturally, there's a cracking choice of craft beer too.

If retro arcades, a remote-controlled race track and board games sound like your idea of fun, you'll be pleased to hear that The World's End is packed with the stuff. These guys are also known to whack out a DJ and throw a full-on knees-up too, great for a dose of quirky.

Located right on the seafront, Shelter Hall is a historic Victorian building that's home to seven independent kitchens and a buzzing bar - as well as cosy private dining igloos outside. This New Year's Eve, they're hosting a Golden Age of Disco-themed event with Billie Gold and Jamie Heward, promising non-stop tunes until 2am.

Expect cabaret performances and live DJ sets, as well as a massive celebration at midnight. Plus, you can begin your evening with a complimentary welcome drink and a feast from any of their vendors.

With three different events taking place at Komedia this New Year's Eve, you're definitely spoilt for choice. From the comedy club with Rich Wilson (MC), Paul McCaffrey, Daman Bamrah and Celya AB to the Spellbound alternative 80s night and Boogie Wonderland 70 disco, there's something for every type of quirky night out.

Better yet? Tickets for all these events start from £15.

Open from 9am to 11pm on New Year's Eve for a range of seasonal treats, Coppa Club's stunning igloos is the ideal way to dine with a difference on the 31st December. Think cuddling up in your own dome, complete with blankets, stunning ceiling installations and atmospheric lanterns, while munching through festive menus.

Expect the likes of hot salmon bruschetta with whipped ricotta and pickled cucumber, before delving into the succulent roast turkey breast accompanied by all of the trimmings.

Pool Valley's Chalk will be hosting a Secret Discotheque this New Year's Eve in its party space. Let loose to some of the best pop beats, all before the epic countdown begins. And when it does? Be sure to celebrate with a toast to 2025.
