Are you unsure what to do this New Year? Here are 10 tips for planning a great evening.
1. The first thing you need to decide is who you're going to be spending New Year with. If you have a couple of options, it's best to make an early decision and let everyone know. If you're in charge of organising something, then it's up to you who gets invited.
2. It will no doubt be a joint decision, but the first thing you'll want to decide is what kind of evening you want. Will it be a meal in a restaurant, followed by drinks? Or do your group prefer to hit the bars and clubs hard and party like it's 1999? This should help formulate a plan for the evening.
3. Your next decision is where you want to go out. Will it be in your local town? The nearest city? Somewhere further afield?
4. Once you know an outline plan for the evening and the general location you wish to go out in, you'll need to think about locations. This may involve finding restaurants, bars or clubs. Using a business directory, you should be able to get a list of possible venues with reviews and ratings to help you get an idea of what they're like.
5. Many venues will require you to reserve a place or book tickets, with some even charging an entrance fee, so the important thing is to make enquiries early and decide whether their availability and ticket costs are suitable.
6. Once you know the availability and entrance fees for a number of venues, you can start to create a more definite plan for your evening. A directory will allow you to see where they are on a map, which will help you when it comes to planning a pub crawl of some kind. When you're happy with the plan, book everything up and pay any deposits that are required.
7. Next, you'll want to sort out transport to and from the venues. If at least one of you isn't going to be drinking, they may be happy to drive. Alternatively, you'll require a lift or some telephone numbers for some reliable taxi businesses. If possible, get them booked up asap.
8 If you'd prefer to stay in accommodation close to the venues you're going to, then you'll need to start searching for hotels nice and early to avoid being too late.
9. You'll no doubt want to look your best for the evening, so going shopping for a new outfit may be your next step.
10. And finally, to complete your New Year's look, you may want to book yourself an appointment with a hairdresser to give you a new style.
So, if you're looking for restaurants, hotels or bars in Newcastle, then using a Newcastle directory will help you pull together a list.
