How to plan a better night out
- Pick a date and the exact event. A venue's programme can change completely from night to night.
- Read the venue's own website. Confirm location, admission age, tickets, reservations and dress or door rules.
- Check travel plans. Look at realistic late-night transport, local rules and the journey back to your accommodation.
- Make the visit suit you. Compare music, accessibility, crowd size and price, not just awards or photographs.
