From huge clubnights and Alfresco Disco NYE to pub back rooms this is the
essential new year's events list.
Around mid November every year the same question is on everyone's lips - what's
on in Bristol on New Years Eve? This page aims to answer that question and
provide complete listings for New Years Eve events in Bristol.
In Bristol there's a whole wealth of exciting nights out on New Years that
frankly aren't available the rest of the year, with this in mind plan your night
carefully and remember that tickets for popular events sell out fast.
Unique options for what's on Bristol new years eve are all listed below.
Bristol's biggest venues like to really up the anti with venues like Lakota and
Motion turning out some of Bristol's most spectacular club nights to date.
Bristol's best bands also work their balls off, missioning around the city
playing multiple new years eve gigs. Unlikely buildings and pubs become one-off
venues - booking bands, selling tickets (typically around £10) and welcoming
ridiculously late licenses. Refreshingly it's these pubs that can provide some
of the best live music and intimate atmospheres to be found in Bristol on NYE
2025. This is the most complete run down of whats on in Bristol on
the 31st December 2025 this side of the Bristol suspension bridge.

Sell out warning! Club Blanco serves up New Years Day Breakfast with an EXTRA LARGE dose of twisted psychedelia, acid house and low-slung weirdo funk for their morning chug-athon. A tradition at
The Love Inn which must be etched into Bristol folklore by now… this is one for the energy crew!

Free entry! Glizzies for breakfast, glizzies for lunch, glizzies for dinner; there’s no real reason to leave the warm folds of Zoggs til the first big sleep of 2026. With basement club action from chug psychonaut Chez de Milo, Paradisco’s string-soaked diva euphoria, Mackenzie’s subwise teksplorations + more prime selectors plucked from the infinite Noods Dream Team well.

I'm always blown away by the scale of the lineups curated by Bristol's promoters
over new years. Laurels are not rested upon and all the stops are pulled out.
Motion's consistently immense new year's day line-ups are, without douby, some
of the best this city has ever seen. But for many people, the ideal NYE in
Bristol is a small party with a handful of their closest friends. Bristol
promoters are well aware that small can also be beautiful, so we've listed 5 of
the smallest NYE parties in Bristol below:
“Its the end of a great year of awesome music from the Bristol music scene, so why not continue new traditions into the new year with yet another Community Jam NYE event at the home of our weekly jam night and monthly day events, The Old E!”
