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.

Shelter Hall

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.

Coppa CLub Igloos

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.
