that's baloney they'll just get another contractor, especially easy at the moment. Try and give them a few days for a handover, and offer a few weekends, or odd days.

8 days left on contract, can I just walk...

Go sick or similar 'bull' excuse as suggested earlier. Never say anything about the new gig.
The problem with being honest and trying to negotiate early exit is that you have to show your cards and you give them a chance to say no. If they do say no, then what - you will leave anyway and your bridge is burnt, and they may give problems like not signing the last timesheet.Comment

Yes you can just walk. No you don't have to lie to do it, man up instead.
Just because your contract says it's between day 1 and day 200 (for example), it doesn't say you have work every day. It says you need to have a signed timesheet for the days you work.
So, in this case, all you need to do is tell your line manager you are not in for those days.
Is it a good idea? Only you will know...Older and ...well, just older!!Comment

Again based on Ratewhores don`t lie approach, take it a little further and just be honest and tell them you want to leave a little earlier and hopefully they`ll let you go early. Or speak to new client and tell them you can start a few days later than origianlly planned.
Just think, you`re also representing contractors everywhere. Piss them off and they might be more relucant to use contractors in the future.Comment
