Five ways to see in New Year’s in Suffolk including in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, Lowestoft and Felixstowe
New Year’s Eve is an amazing time of the year, an occasion to join with friends, family, even strangers, and reflect on a year gone by and a year to come.
Some people may opt to see the year out with a wild party, drinks flowing and music plentifully in tow, while others may opt to hear the clock strike in a quieter manner.
