Brigg pubs will be very busy tonight (Monday, December 31) as people venture out on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to 2018 and welcome in 2019.
Those who regularly patronise town centre bars will be joined by many who do so infrequently and a few we only see out and about in pubs on New Year's Eve.
Some licensed premises will be offering musical entertainment tonight, ranging from paid performers to disco and open mic/karaoke sessions.
In the hours leading up to midnight there's plenty of opportunity to visit a range of bars, though some regulars will be happy to stay put in their favoured watering holes.
At the Exchange Bar, Trevor Leeson - singer/guitarist, formerly of The Merseybeats Band - will provide live music. Pedestrian access to the Exchange is available from Bigby Street and also Wrawby Street (through the archway).
The Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street, will be staging a disco and karaoke from 7.30pm.
At the Stables Bar adjoining the Dying Gladiator, on Bigby Street, there will be party tunes, a sing-along session and the big countdown to 2019's arrival to watch on screen.
Brigg Servicemen's Club, on Coney Court, has an Abba Tribute band performing, and the concert is already a sell-out success.
Among the busiest bars will be The Craft Union's Black Bull and Wetherspoon's White Horse, both on Wrawby Street; Old Mill Brewery's Lord Nelson and Star & Bars' Woolpack in the Market Place; plus Lincolnshire Craft Beers' Yarborough Hunt, on Bridge Street.
Away from the town centre, Brigg Town Football Club's Hawthorns Bar, off Hawthorn Avenue, is hosting a family disco featuring top tunes from the 1960s onwards. This will get under way around 7pm and a firework display is planned. All are welcome to attend.
For the benefit of out-of-towners coming to Brigg to see in the New Year and infrequent visitors to local licensed premises, please note that the White Hart is currently shut for refurbishment, while the Nelthorpe Arms - also on Bridge Street - closed for good in May this year.
With all that drink being consumed, there will be considerable demand for fast food tonight - making it a very busy one for Brigg's takeaway establishments.
