Our New Year's Eve Street Party is back
A Street Party Like No Other
The true beauty of this highlight on the Barrydale calendar is that it is not only the best way to celebrate the year that has been, it's also a brilliant community event where a diverse group of people get to dance in the streets to their heart's content.
We will again be joining forces with the legendary local restaurant, Bistro Blues, to create a memorable and we cannot wait to host you for that weekend.
As always, we recommend that you book your room well in advance.
