Ring in the new year with an unforgettable family-friendly celebration by the sea!

Join us for an evening filled with entertainment, delicious food trucks and plenty of fun for the whole family. Little ones will love the free kids’ activities, including bubble play, face painting, craft activities and roving stilt walkers, while adults can relax and soak up the live music and holiday vibes.

At 8pm, get your sparklers ready and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display over the Broadwater – the perfect way to welcome in the New Year!

Pack your picnic blanket, bring your friends and family, and celebrate the start of 2026 with the sea breeze in your hair and a smile on your face.
