In Leeds revellers braved the cold and rain in fancy dress to head on the famous Otley Run pub crawl.
Ladies donned sparkly hats and all white as they marched from bar to bar.
As the night loomed on, some whipped off their high heels and trodded bare foot to takeaways for post nightclub grub.
In Newcastle some drinkers looked worse for wear as they were helped off the floor by cops.
It comes as Britain will ring in the New Year tonight with fireworks and light shows across the UK.
But revellers may be better off staying indoors – as forecaster have warned of wind, rain and difficult driving conditions.
Temperatures will stay mild for most of the UK but blustery showers are set to hit most of England and Wales over the post-Christmas period, the Met Office said.
And gusts of up to 40 miles per hour along with rainfall could dampen new year celebrations on Saturday.
Drivers planning trips over the next few days have been urged to check for any updates to weather warnings as conditions are expected to remain “unsettled”, according to meteorologists.
