It’s a perennial conundrum: where do we go to celebrate the new year. And with next week marking the start of a new decade, it’s only right that we do it in proper style. We have picked some of the best New Year’s Eve parties in town... with something for everyone, whatever your taste...

Reggaeton NYE Party; The Bullingdon, Cowley Road

Celebrate New Year’s Eve with the deep bass and grooves of reggaeton as the Bullingdon throws the ultimate fiesta to bring in 2020.

To the uninitiated, reggaeton is a musical style which originated in Puerto Rico, which fuses US hip hop, Latin American and Caribbean music. Expect tunes from Daddy Yankee, Don Omar , Wisin y Yandel, Ozuna, Nicky Jam, Zion y Lennox, Shakira, Arcangel, Tego Calderon, Tito El Bambino, Plan B, Farruko, J Alvarez, J Balvin, Maluma, Enrique and CNCO.

There’ll also be a midnight confetti drop, party decor and visuals.

Tickets £15 from fatsoma.com.

New Years Eve Party on the River; The Isis Farmhouse, Iffley Lock

Enjoy lively music with Jim Driscoll, Beard Of Destiny, hosts Adrian Burns and Noreen Cullen, and DJ Badger. There’s also fun, dancing, food and partying by the river.

Synth City; The Rusty Bicycle, Magdalen Road, Oxford
