Tyne Bank Brewery to host New Year's Eve party featuring a Nigel Farage Milkshake Throwing Contest

If you're not sorted with plans for New Year's Eve and aren't the biggest fan of a certain outspoken politician, a Newcastle bar has just the party for you.

On Tuesday, December 31, Tyne Bank Brewery will throw The Big Daft T-NYE Bank Party and among the tricks they have up their sleeve as 2019 becomes 2020 is a Nigel Farage Milkshake Throwing Contest.

What Brexit Party leader Farage hoped would have been a glorious visit to Newcastle turned out to be anything but when he had a milkshake thrown at him by someone while he was walking through the city.

The man responsible has since found guilty of assault and handed a 12-month community sentence with 150 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £350 in compensation to Farage.

He has now apologised but, with their tongue firmly in their cheek, Tyne Bank are making a playful nod to one of their biggest new stories of the year in Newcastle with the contest at its big New Year's Eve bash, being hosted together What’s The Point? Quizzes - the guys responsible for Tyne Bank's sold out Greggs themed game shows earlier this year.

While this game will not involve any real politicians, there are references to other controversial figures in politics too. in the teaser for the night.

The party also promises a 'Donald Trump Chinese trade deal firework display', as well as much more traditional NYE musts like a New Year Countdown and Auld Lang Syne sing along.

Tickets for The Big Daft T-NYE Bank Party are on sale online from Ticket Tailor and are priced £15 each, which also gets you a free drink on arrival.
