New Year's Eve at The Lincoln Hotel

The Lincoln Hotel is hosting its New Year's Eve party on Thursday 31 December, with soul music running through the decades and a live performance by Mia Garner. It's a full evening, starting at 19:00 and going through to 00:30, so it takes you right up to the countdown and a bit beyond.

The music is the main draw here. The soul set works its way through the decades, so you'll hear the sound shift from the early days of the genre through to the later years, rather than sticking to one particular era. Mia Garner joins in with a live performance, and the soul music keeps going around her. If you're into that sound, it's a long stretch of it to get you through the night.

There's a hog roast buffet on the go, so you can eat while the music runs. Between the soul set and the buffet, it's a night that doesn't ask you to choose between a gig and a party—you get both in the same room. It's a good way to spend the evening if you'd rather be out in the city than at home.

It's at The Lincoln Hotel on Eastgate, LN2 1PN, from 19:00 to 00:30. Tickets are £69 per person, and pre-booking is essential, so you'll need to get yours sorted well before the night.
