What to do for New Year's Eve in Canterbury

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

New Year's Eve festivals dotted down the length of the country are drawing thousands of party-goers with music, dancing and drinking, but options for those hoping to enjoy celebrating in Canterbury appear pretty slim.

Organised events for those in the Garden City looking to ring in the new year are mostly confined to pubs, bars and restaurants.

But there is the annual family-friendly celebrations in North Hagley Park. The night will kick off with family entertainment from 6pm, including a performance from comedian Mullet Man, free activities, fairies, and a kids countdown at 8pm. Headline act The Jordan Luck Band will take the stage before a midnight fireworks display.

What have you got planned this New Year's Eve?
