Bristol is the cheapest place in Britain to spend a Saturday evening, according to new research which shows that the cost of a night on the tiles has gone down.
At £12.16, a night in Bristol is almost £20 less than in London. Value for money on a Saturday night can also be found in Manchester, Cardiff and Leeds, which followed Bristol in the annual Saturday Night Index produced by Young Persons Railcard.
The study discovered that the average cost of a night on the town has dropped by nearly a quarter in the past year, from £26.60 to £20.29.
Andrew Robertson, spokesperson for Young Persons Railcard, said: “Each year the Saturday Night Index reveals some really interesting insights. Most notably this year, Cardiff and Bristol have swapped places in the chart and, surprisingly, Newcastle’s ranking has dropped quite considerably.”
Newcastle upon Tyne suffered the biggest movement in the rankings, coming in as the second most expensive destination at £25.50. The city was one of the cheapest last year.

The index considers the prices of the basic components of a typical Saturday night out in each of the main cities. Factors considered were the average price of a bus ticket, a pint of beer, entrance to a club, taxi fare plus a late-night kebab.
