New Year's Eve Day Party

Why wait until midnight? We’re bringing the New Year celebrations forward with the New Year’s Eve Day Party at Docks Academy – four hours of party tunes, drinks and NYE celebrations, all wrapped up by 6 pm.

Thursday 31st December 2026
Doors 2 pm | Curfew 6 pm
Ages: 18+
Advance Tickets £5 + fees
The audience for this event will be standing

DJ Steve Rusling will be behind the decks all afternoon, playing party anthems across the decades – the big tunes, guilty pleasures and singalongs you want to hear on New Year’s Eve.

Then, at 5 pm, we’re pretending it’s midnight.

We’ll dim the lights, get the countdown going and welcome in the New Year eight hours early, complete with Auld Lang Syne and a proper NYE celebration.

Carry on into the night, head into town, get yourself to another party or be home with a takeaway before everyone else has even started getting ready. Your evening is yours.

New Year’s Eve. Just earlier.

Grab your mates, get the drinks in and join us for the last Docks Academy party of 2026.
