WE'RE just two days away from the first New Year's Eve since 2019 without any restrictions.
This time last year nightclubs were closed in order to tackle the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
But this year there are no restrictions on the number of people who can gather in one place, meaning that this year people can ring in the New Year in style.
We take a look at nightclubs and bars across Newport which are throwing big parties to celebrate the end of 2022.
