Brunches are often the best way to cure a hangover. Lots of incredible food, time to recount and laugh about the ninth before with your pals, and maybe just a few more beverages to ease the head. However, this year, the team at the Hanger in Wolverhampton are putting on a New Years' brunch to end all brunches. They've combined the fun of brunch with live comedy, for a match made in hunger heaven. Because laughing never made anyone feel worse now did it? Whilst the comedy lineup isn't out yet, there's a promise of big names, plus, the food sounds incredible. Caribbean food by Addassa Catering, Mexican food by Chloe'sKa Kitchen, and a range of sweet treats from Kartalicious. We're already salivating, so what are you waiting for? Secure that table!

Where: Hidden in Manchester
If you're partial to a boogie when you go out, and you find yourself in Manchester come the first day of the New Year, then there's only one place you should be heading and that's Hidden. Even more so when you find out that the techno wizards of Teletech are going to be taking over. The local events icons have been playing Hidden for years and never fail to put on an excellent show. Now, in 2023, they've grown a reputation as one of the wildest and most respected techno parties in the UK. Whilst the lineup isn't out yet, it doesn't need to be with a reputation like theirs, so secure your tickets and spend the first day of 2023 in the dance, as when the lineup does drop, this will sell out quickly.
