Johnny Nelson’s SoulTrain New Year's Eve Gala

For New Year’s Eve, Johnny Nelson’s SoulTrain is stepping up from Sunday session to full black-tie gala. The same warm Sheffield crowd. The same music that gets people out of their seats. This time, there’s a welcome drink, premium Caribbean food, a private bar and a midnight countdown before the party carries on until 2am. Come dressed up. Don’t expect to stay seated. Dinner first. SoulTrain after dark. Doors open at 7pm, giving you time to arrive, find your table and start the night with a welcome drink. At 8pm, our team will serve a premium Caribbean buffet. This is the part of the evening for good food, proper conversation and deciding who at the table will be first onto the dancefloor. At 10pm, the chairs move back and Midnight Soultrain takes over. DJ Chunky will work through a funky mix of soulful grooves, the records that need only a few opening notes before the whole room knows what’s coming. At 11:55pm, we’ll bring everyone together for the final countdown of 2026. Then there’s no rush for coats. The first dancefloor of 2027 stays open until 2am.
