Best New Year's Eve Manchester Parties 2026

With venues on Deansgate, in Piccadilly or Spinningfields, Slug and Lettuce's pretty pink locations are perfect for a party. Expect Instagrammable interiors featuring neon signs and flowers, as well as extended brunch hours on New Year's Eve if you fancy getting the party started early with bottomless booze.

They're also hosting a glitz and glamour ball in the evening, costing just £7 per person to attend. Dress to impress and get ready to dance, while sipping on the complimentary spirit and mixer included in your ticket price.

BrewDog Manchester is welcoming 2026 with Midnight Mojo, a New Year's Eve party that leans hard into 70s nostalgia with a soundtrack of soul, funk, disco and glam rock. 

Tickets are £20 and include access to a seriously good-value drinks menu for New Year's Eve. Beers start from £1.95, with Cold Beer at throwback prices and Wingman, Lost Lager, Hazy Jane and Punk all coming in at £2.45. Spirits, mixers and wine are £2.95, while cocktails are priced at £3.95 across the menu, from espresso martinis to margaritas.

As one of the most sought after immersive events, Alcotraz: Cell Block Three-Four is a fantastic place to spend your NYE. The prison-inspired cocktail experience will see you smuggle in your liquor of choice past the warden, then drinking cocktails and being interrogated by the guards.
