Event information
Following last years’ sell-out event, our New Year’s Eve party is back, so come make natural history with us as we celebrate the arrival of 2024.
This event has passed, check back later this year for the 2024 event
Following our sold-out event in 2022, we’re back to make this year’s New Year's Eve another night to remember.
This 31 December, we’re theming our celebrations around the four elements - earth, water, air and fire - so get thinking and have your best fancy dress at the ready. Come enjoy a cocktail with us and see in the new year, natural history style.
We’ve jam-packed the event with a whole lot of activities. Enjoy live music in Hintze Hall from special guests Old Dirty Brasstards and sets from And One DJ. Take part in a silent disco in Earth Hall and sessions from our regular animal handling experts Zoolab, plus you’ll get the chance to explore many of our galleries after dark.
Remember to keep an eye out for our wandering acts throughout the evening and with our new, special VIP area, this year’s party promises to be bigger and better than ever. Tickets for our exclusive VIP area are limited, so make sure you bagsy one so you can enjoy its private bar, exclusive entertainment from the human jukebox, singer and pianist Kirsty Newton, interactive science content and a complimentary drink
Get the earth quaking with your dance moves, start a Mexican wave, set the world on fire with your fantastic fancy dress and step into 2024 like a breath of fresh air.
Please note that some activity sessions have limited capacity and places will be offered on a first come first served basis.
