Map reveals Britain’s cheapest spot to see in the New Year – does your area make the list?
A NEW map reveals Britain’s cheapest spots to see in the New Year.
Ticketing firm Skiddle crunched the numbers to rank the cost of a night out in every city in the UK.
They added up the average cost of a new outfit, booze, fast food, cigarettes and transport.
The boffins then ranked the top ten cheapest towns in the UK for New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Salisbury has been crowned the cheapest spot to see in the New Year – with an estimated cost of £73.63 per person.
Second cheapest is Gloucester, where the average festive outing comes in at £74.35.
Third place goes to Stoke-on-Trent, which is only a few pence pricier at £74.51.
Next come Doncaster, Hull, Derry, Wrexham, Colchester, Leicester and Chelmsford.
The figures cover the price of a few beers, a bottle of wine, a new dress, a pack of cigarettes, a fast-food meal, a bus and a cab.
Skiddle’s Lisa Lewis said: “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.
“Vibrant experiences can be found at a fraction of the cost in cities like Salisbury and Gloucester.
“Compare them with notoriously expensive nights out in London and Edinburgh.”
