WE ARE just days away from ringing in the second New Year’s Eve since COVID restrictions were lifted two years ago.

Last year was the first year with no restrictions on the number of people who could gather in one place.

This year looks to be bigger and better than last year, so we look at nightclubs and bars across the Vale of Glamorgan which are throwing big parties to celebrate the end of 2023.
