IT is time to wave goodbye to 2015 and look forward to what the new year has to offer.
Revellers in Bolton will be spoilt for choice this New Year’s Eve, with celebration parties happening across the town.
Some venues are also opening their doors for a New Year’s Day party, as it falls on a Friday this year – giving the hardcore among us a second bite at the party cherry as we enter 2016.
