There's nothing like a bit of fancy dress to celebrate the end of the year, eh? Over at some of Young's best venues, you can whack on your gear for one helluva a night out, whether it's a tropical shirt at a Brixton beach party or a tux at a Bond-inspired shindig.
@ The Candlelight Club on Various dates from Saturday 20th September 2025
If a 1920s-themed New Year's Eve party sounds right up your street for 2024, check out The Candlelight Club. Step back into the Roaring Twenties with a four-course meal add-on to your party from 7pm for £65 per person. Pair it with unlimited drinks until 11pm for just £50.
Relish flavours like grilled chicken Caesar salad, minted lamb breast, or pan-fried salmon with capers and hollandaise, ending with a decadent chocolate and raspberry pot. The evening is topped off with dazzling Gatsby-style live jazz, cabaret, and vintage vinyl tunes.
The Exhibit is throwing a Glitter Ball-themed New Year's Eve party full of glitz and glam, promising non-stop dancefloor fillers until 2am. If you arrive before 8.30pm you can enjoy a free cocktail on arrival, with tickets starting from just £10 per person.
If you fancy kicking things off with a meal, they're offering two seatings of their bottomless dinners. Think a delicious sourdough pizza and 90 minutes of free-flowing beer and prosecco, starting from £40 each.

Blame Gloria is a great choice of Studio 54- themed New Year's Eve parties in London, as the Covent Garden and Clapham venue are both throwing open their doors for disco action 'til late. But that's not all, as drag divas and West End stars also feature, lasting until 2am.
