New Year's Eve Ideas

Not sure what to get up to this New Year’s Eve? 

We have the perfect list to run through some ideas, whether you’re up for a night out or just a quiet night in your student accommodation, check out some of our unique suggestions below…

Midnight DIY Pizza Party 

Perfect for a group of housemates if you’re staying in student accommodation this festive season. You can all chip in to bring a range of toppings/ingredients, put some festive tunes on, and watch the fireworks with a slice… 

You could also play some games or combine this with some other celebrations

NYE Treasure Hunt

A bit of planning might be involved but that’s all part of the fun! A fun, unique and creative idea that could get competitive but is great for a bigger group of friends looking for a good night in. 

You could hide clues around your student house or local area, leading to ‘treasure’ at midnight (like party poppers or drinks)!

Travel to a hidden gem 

Keen to head out to watch some fireworks but not wanting to hang around your hometown/uni city for the night? Why not bring a few friends, family, or your partner on a mini road trip to a different area you’ve not been to before! 

You could drive to watch some fireworks from a scenic spot, like a park or beach, and bring along a picnic and some games with you!

Host a themed party 

By adding a theme to your typical NYE celebration, you could turn that student house party up a notch! Why not ask mates to dress up as celebrities, first letters of their names, or superheroes

You could also ask friends to bring round themed drinks and snacks depending on your theme of choice…

Relax with a spa evening

Unwind into the new year with face masks, herbal teas, and scented candles. Great for a low-key evening with friends or by yourself, whether you’re still in your student house or back home to see friends and family, some self-care is always important.
