Now that Christmas is over, we can look ahead to the New Year.
There are plenty of lists of what to do on the big evening of New Year’s Eve, so this weekend’s City 5 we will be looking at what to do on Friday and Saturday only.
I hope that you have a great New Year and we will see you on the flip side.
