New Year’s Eve Events in Liverpool
This year, New Year’s Eve is going to look very different from anything we’ve experienced before. The current restrictions mean that we’re not allowed to mix households and bars & restaurants have to close by 11pm. This isn’t an ideal New Year’s celebration, but after a tough year, we think it’s only right that you try and make the most of it, if you feel comfortable doing so.
Whether you want to enjoy a nice meal, enjoy a live DJ set, a socially distanced bar night or want to have a night away in a Liverpool hotel, here at the Big Liverpool Guide we’ve got some great recommendations on what you can enjoy this New Year’s Eve.
