The expected cost covers the price of a few domestic and imported beers, a bottle of wine, a new dress, a pack of cigarettes, a fast-food meal, public transport, and a taxi fare for a local journey.
Lisa Lewis, Senior Marketing Manager at Skiddle, has commented on the findings: “New Year’s Eve can often come with a hefty price tag, but some UK cities offer surprisingly affordable nights out to ring in the New Year. Smaller cities and towns often lead the way, with local pubs, community events, and smaller venues providing budget-friendly options that don’t skimp on the atmosphere.
“These celebrations prove that you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy a memorable New Year’s Eve, as vibrant experiences can be found at a fraction of the cost in cities like Salisbury and Gloucester when compared with notoriously expensive nights out in London and Edinburgh.”
