It’s that time of year again, the dreaded most hyped up night of the year, it’s New Years Eve. At Fusion we have for a long time been fans of not taking this too seriously, and this year is no different. When your whole life seems like a party, missing one when everything is more expensive and packed won’t hurt. Buy still the crowds flock in their thousands looking for that elusive “amazing night”. So here we bring you a shortlist of what our clubs are offering. We’ve purposely left off the Honey Club, Koo club, Oceana etc… the real Brighton dives. It’s not like they are going to offer up anything worth considering.

Our money is between the Komedia, Audio and The Ocean Rooms! It may not be the best deal in town but it’s probably the place to go for the best night. On the other hand the Water Margin is offering free entry if you sign their Don’t Stay In Wall. But then again if you have a DSI account you probably will be off to the Honey Club dressed as an illuminated builder on crack.

Happy New Year
