Cheers to the Decades: New Year’s Eve Bash | New Year's Eve Party in Kent, 2025
Bid farewell to 2025 and welcome 2026 with a night full of excitement, music, and unforgettable moments at Inn on the Lake. Cheers to the Decades: New Year’s Eve Bash is more than just a meal – it’s a full experience, transporting you through the best hits from the 60s to the present day while you enjoy exceptional food, festive fun, and a countdown you’ll never forget.
The evening begins with a welcome drink as you step into a vibrant, party atmosphere with New Year's Eve-themed photo opportunities and exciting props on every table. Balloons, party hats, and party poppers await you, setting the scene for a spectacular night.
We’ll kick off the celebrations with a mouthwatering four-course dinner, followed by a DJ set that’s sure to get everyone on the dancefloor. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, pre-ordered champagne and bubbly will be brought to your table, ensuring you have everything you need for the grand countdown.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, get ready for a show-stopping moment – the DJ and Inn on the Lake team will take the stage, armed with giant party cannons, and we’ll begin the countdown to midnight. When the clock strikes twelve, the balloon ceiling falls, the party poppers explode, and the room is filled with confetti and cheers as the dancefloor bursts into colour. Hug, dance, and join hands with friends and fellow partygoers as we all belt out Auld Lang Syne together.
The party doesn’t stop there! We continue into the early hours of 2026 with an epic celebration that will keep you dancing well into the new year. Cheers to the Decades isn’t just a party – it’s an experience you’ll cherish forever.
