New Year's Eve at Wahaca Southbank

Bring in 2026 at Wahaca Southbank's New Year's Eve fiesta!

What to expect:

The evening kicks off with welcome drinks and Mexican canapés, all while enjoying the lively tunes of our mariachi band. Then set off on a Mexican foodie adventure with Wahaca favourites prepared by Chef Roxi and her team, with unlimited free-flowing cocktails, beer and wine, all evening long. When you’re ready, hit the dance floor as DJ Zago plays some well-loved party tunes, while you see out 2025 - don't forget to capture the moment in our New Year's Eve photobooth! As midnight approaches take your glass of bubbles and head outside to the Southbank riverfront for the iconic firework display. Afterwards, come back in from the cold for a final dance until 1am.
