If a house party or traditional celebration event isn’t your thing for New Year’s Eve, how does a pool party sound?

You don’t even have to consider hopping on a plane for some tropical fun on December 31 either.

Alpamare - the £14m alpine-themed waterpark in Scarborough - is set to host a New Year’s Eve pool party.

Taking place on Sunday, December 31, from 7.30pm until late, the quirky tropical-themed event will involve pool party games and music.

You will also get a complimentary glass of bubbly, as well as access to all the bar and restaurant facilities at the attraction.

“Your exclusive invite to the party of the year is here,” reads the event description, “Say farewell to 2017 and welcome the New Year, like never before.

“Alpamare Scarborough is hosting a tropical New Year’s Eve party extravaganza for everyone.

“With fun, games and activities suitable for the whole family, with an extra special host; Paddy Billington (better know as Paddy in the Morning from Yorkshire Coast Radio) you’re guaranteed to make memories like no other.

“This party is a do not miss.”

Alpamare Scarborough boasts adrenaline inducing waterslides, which are the UK’s longest and fastest, a giant indoor wave pool that erupts every 30 minutes with metre-high waves, an outdoor garden pool and an iodine infinity pool with massage jets, whirlpools and bubble benches - both heated to 35 degrees Celsius.

If that wasn’t enough, there will also be a relaxing terrace overlooking Scarborough’s coastline and landscaped gardens with sunbeds, a pool bar and a restaurant.

Tickets for the New Year's Eve party cost £17 per adult, £14 for children, and are free for kids under six. They are available from www.alpamare.co.uk now or from the waterpark’s reception.
