New years eve in Birmingham offers a wide range of parties and events, with the highlight being the big public party and midnight fireworks display in the city's Centenary Square that we hope to see back for 2023/24.
Elsewhere across the city there are lively parties in the many bars & clubs, while the many top hotels in the city centre host a number of special new year events, including gala dinners with fine dining and a range of live entertainment.
The biggest new years eve event in Birmingham, for many years now, has been the midnight firework display in Centenary Square right in the heart of the city, which attracts families and party-goers alike to enjoy the evening's entertainment and take part in the countdown to midnight, when the spectacular pyrotechnics are launched - this event was cancelled for 2022/23 but is hopefully set to return for NYE 2024.
The, big wheel, elevated bar and ice rink should be back and there are plenty of bars in the area, many offering decent fireworks views if they are on, so you shouldn't have too many problems getting a drink and watching the show.
In the wider city area, Birmingham has a pretty wide range of nightclubs these days, and with bars with late licenses competing for business there really is a huge range of options to choose from.
We'll have a selection of some of the best options here as the big day draws closer, so check back nearer to new years eve for more details.
You might want to check out these bars and clubs for their NYE offerings: Tonight Josephine, The Cocktail Club, Walkabout, Luna Springs, The Old Crown, The Rainbow.
Away from the main events, families in the area tend to spend the evening in their local bars, which avoids the trouble and expense of commuting to the city centre, which is more the preserve of the younger crowd at this time of year so nearby towns such as Halesowen, Solihull, Dudley, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton are all worth a look if they're easier for you to get to.

Birmingham really is a cosmopolitan city so you'll be able to find a meal out whatever your preference, although on a personal note I have to recommend the local curries as some of the best in the country, especially at the well known Asha's Contemporary Indian on Newhall Street and Spicemenu, which offers fusion Asian cuisine.

Without any live TV coverage of the fireworks (although local news channels will certainly have highlights pretty quickly after midnight) the best bet for seeing some live action is to check in on some of the local webcam views.
There are several located in the city centre of Birmingham, including a stream from the Bullring:
