If you’re searching for the best New Year’s Eve event in Dartmouth, Devon, make your way to the always-welcoming and beautiful The Sail Loft, Dartmouth's Hidden Gem located at the end of Foss Street. This year, we’re bringing back our much-loved Wigs & Hats New Year’s Eve Party, a relaxed, good-humoured, highly enjoyable evening that’s become one of Dartmouth’s most popular ways to welcome the new year. Expect great drinks, great company, effortless fun, and an atmosphere made for celebrating in style., a New Year’s Eve Party worth dressing for. The tradition continues, so dust off a wig, pick out a hat, or combine both for maximum impact. Whether you keep it classic or go a little bit playful, the theme guarantees plenty of laughs and some excellent photos to start 2026 with!

Food First, Party After
We’ll be serving food from 12pm–5pm, giving everyone the chance to enjoy something delicious before the evening gets going.  From 5pm, we shift to bar service only, setting the tone for an evening that’s relaxed, social, and perfect for catching up with friends over a drink or two. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous… a shot or two. Yes, there will be shots, and if the stars align, Sarah may even bring back her infamous Shot Belt, a Sail Loft New Year’s story in itself.

Live Music & A Brilliant Evening Soundtrack
The night begins with live music from the fantastic Giles Nuttall between 7pm and 9pm, bringing an upbeat and polished set that always sets the perfect tone.  After that, Rupert takes over with his best curated playlist of the year, a mix of sing-along favourites and feel-good tracks designed to keep the energy up until 11.45pm, when we close so everyone can stroll over to the embankment and enjoy Dartmouth’s iconic midnight fireworks.
