Looking for an original way to see out 2023 with a bang? How about a dinosaur boogie… and we aren’t talking about a dance with your dad. The Natural History Museum’s NYE party is back!
With 2024 zooming into sharp focus it’s time to start thinking about how you want to wave goodbye to 2023. This being London, you’re spoilt for clubbing options, fancy dinners, and even fancy schmancy dinners.
If you’re looking for something totally unique though, we believe we may have just the one for you. You’ll be partying around the bones of dinosaurs…
Yep, the Natural History Museum is bringing back its hugely popular New Year’s Eve bash.
What Can You Expect?
So, other than the rare opportunity to party the year away in a museum that’s building would make an impressive venue in its own right, there are a few pretty killer perks to the party.
A fully stocked bar is obviously mandatory at an event like this – though loading you party animals up on booze and letting you loose around the fossils does worry us a little, we’re sure the museum knows what they’re up to.
You’ll be dancing across multiple dance floors, one of which is a silent disco and the other is a DJ set right in the main hall underneath the bones of the museum’s ginormous blue whale skeleton.
They always put on a good show too. Contortionists twist shapes up on stage and performers get the crowd moving (Mexican wave participation is mandatory). There’s a fancy-dress theme too – this year it’s the four elements: earth, water, fire and air, which leaves you with a lot of room to get creative.
The VIP areas have been enlarged for the 2023/24 edition too, and will now offer a private bar for you and your pals as well as complimentary drinks and more of that entertainment around your tables.
Your ticket (£120 or £108 for members) also gives you access to the museum galleries after hours so you can peruse the exhibitions with a drink in hand when you need a break from the boogie
That’s basically an exclusive drunken look at millions of years of life on earth without all the crowds of a standard opening hours, and some dark corners we’re sure at least a few people will get caught exploring that life’s origins.
The event will run from 8pm-1:30am, giving you plenty of time to bring the new year in with a roar. Grab your tickets here.
