Spend your evening in a room filled with dinosaurs without meeting up with your extended family.

The event includes a free drink and sweet treat plus you’ll be able to explore the Dinosaurs gallery too.

WATCH

'When Harry Met Sally' screening

Not much would convince us to head to Leicester Square on New Year’s Eve, but this screening of classic rom-com When Harry Met Sally definitely does the trick. Held at the Prince Charles Cinema and with tickets including sparkling wine and a party popper, it’s sure to be orgasmic levels of fun.

Prince Charles Cinema. Leicester Square. 6.30pm. £11.

Do Auld Lang Syne properly at Cecil Sharp House’s Ceilidh event. Don’t worry, it includes a lesson at the start for anyone who’s still trying to brush up on their steps.

Cecil Sharp House. Camden 8pm-1am.

JIVE

Rivoli Ball Room New Year’s Eve Gala

Travel back in time at the oldest ballroom in London on New Year’s Eve. While Rivoli’s nights are usually 21+ this one’s a family event, and they promise a magical mix of jive, ballroom, and pop party music.

EAT

Roll into the new year a few kilos heavier after spending the night at St John’s second ever NYE feast. There’ll be a champagne reception plus chocolate baked Alaska, whole roast suckling pig, devilled crab and roast bone marrow.
