I thought it may help any new year visitors to the valley to see what's happening tonight in the various hostelries - should you be up for that sort of thing. And I may as well throw in some of my favourite Wasdale photos of the year, just for the hell of it.
...like these two of Wasdale at different ends of the day

So, what's happening on New Years Eve in Wasdale?
The Wasdale Head Hotel has a pre-booked function but the main bar is also open as usual with food available
Nether Wasdale has a choice of two excellent pubs -
The Strands Hotel is having a James Bond themed casino night for charity with pre-booked food only but the bar is also open as usual.
The Screes Inn has a choice of a special New Year's Eve dining menu or buffet food and for entertainment have live music, cocktails with a vodka & ice luge.
The Bridge Inn at Santon Bridge has it's usual food menu and the bar is open with music and New Years Eve festivities
And finally, The Irton Hall bar, close to Santon Bridge, is open and has a New Years Eve quiz and fireworks on the lawn.
...and if you're still up for partying on New Years day (lots of folk round here are!) then Gosforth village square can get distinctly lively, even frisky, from the afternoon on - good luck and take care out there!
