In what feels like the blink of an eye, we’ve somehow found ourselves at the end of the year. The Christmas lights are being untangled, the alcohol cupboards are being fully stocked, and – dare I say it – 2025 is hurtling towards us at an alarming rate.
If you’ve not yet decided on how you’ll be ringing in the New Year (I mean, who can blame you? It was only August five minutes ago), then allow us to point you in the direction of the most roar-some New Year’s Eve party in town. That’s right, folks: the Natural History Museum is throwing the ultimate New Year’s Eve bash – and everyone’s invited.
On December 31, once the museum has closed its doors to the public for the very last time of the year, the party will officially begin. Step inside the legendary South Kensington spot, and have a good old boogie under the watchful eyes (and bones) of Sophie the Stegosaurus, and – of course – Hope, the humongous blue whale skeleton.
Party-goers will have the chance to explore the museum’s fascinating galleries after hours, and take a peek at some of the exhibitions, including the world-renowned ‘Photographer of the Year’ exhibition and the weird and oh-so wonderful ‘Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre‘ exhibition. Live music will be playing, drinks will be flowing, and – believe it or not – actual dinosaurs will be roaming the halls. But would you expect anything less from the Natural History Museum?
Once visitors have explored to their heart’s content, it will be time for them to disco-dance their way into 2025 at one of the museum’s beloved silent discos in the Earth Hall. Guests will be kitted out with wireless headsets, where they can switch between three battling DJ channels, and silently throw some shapes into the early hours of the morning. And the very best part is that no matter how old you are, you’re guaranteed to be one of the youngest creatures in the museum. And if that’s not the glass-half-full mentality to be taking into the New Year, I don’t know what is…
