It seems that almost every county nationwide is now in tier 3, the highest of the governments Coronavirus tier system, following Number 10's most recent announcement. Emphasis on the word 'almost'.
We don't know who is responsible for making these decisions, and what set of data they're looking at (like seriously, scratching our heads, proper confused here), but on behalf of the entire population of Liverpool, Skiddle would like to say thank you to that decision maker. You've single handedly rescued some sort of festive celebration for the Liverpudlian people.
That's right, Liverpool and some other place down south (only kidding, we love you Bristol) have managed to escape tier 3. So what does that mean we hear you ask? (We're not going to lie, we had to do some of our own research to find out)
It means, if you live in Liverpool, you CAN go to that party you've got tickets for, and either abide to the rule of six and sit outside a venue or sit inside if your going with those in your own household. It means pubs, venues and bars CAN serve you drinks as long you're having a substantial meal. It also means that the unofficial countdown, which will now take place at 10pm instead of midnight, will still go ahead!
Not all bad news then, for those of you lucky enough to live in a tier 2 county. The rest of us will just watch re-runs of Strictly or the Eastenders special (is there even an Eastenders special this year?) whilst eating leftover Christmas snacks. Result.
Have a look below at the list of New Years Eve happenings in Liverpool, still flying the festive party flag on Thursday 31st December 2020.
