Family-friendly New Year's Eve celebration with a kids' disco, a free 360° photo booth and an early New Year's Eve countdown.
Derby Market Hall is hosting a Family New Year's Eve Countdown on Thursday 31 December, starting at 5pm. It's a family-friendly way to mark the end of the year without staying up until the early hours, so the little ones get to experience the countdown and still be home well before their bedtime. The whole thing runs for about three hours, meaning you're in and out in one evening rather than a long haul into the night.
The evening is built around a kids' disco that runs from 5pm to 8pm, with a 360° photo booth open from 5pm to 7.30pm for free. There's also a glitter tattoo artist on hand, though that one comes with a small charge. The main event is the early countdown itself, which happens at 7pm, so the big moment arrives while the kids are still wide awake.
It's billed as a family-friendly celebration, and that's the whole point: the disco, the photo booth, and the early countdown let the kids have their own New Year's Eve party without the midnight finish. The Market Hall transforms into a party venue for a few hours of music and memories, and everyone is home long before the clock actually strikes twelve.
