Are you looking for an affordable night out? Well, look no further than West Yorkshire! When it comes to planning a night out, there are so many expenses to consider - from the cost of transportation to the price of drinks to the post-party kebab. But don't worry, there is hope! A recent study has revealed that one UK city stands out as the cheapest for a night out, coming in at a total of just £94. And that city is none other than Bradford, located in beautiful West Yorkshire.
Compared to the UK average, Bradford is a whopping £52 cheaper, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. The city boasts the most affordable hotel prices, with an average of £67 per weekend night. And getting around won't break the bank either, as a one-mile taxi journey will only cost you £3.55 - a 13% decrease from two years ago. In fact, Bradford has even earned the second spot for the most affordable taxi fares in the UK. Another West Yorkshire city, Huddersfield, takes the crown for the cheapest taxi fares overall and comes in second place for the most affordable night out at a total of £99.
Locals have even given Bradford the nickname 'Radford', a testament to its affordability and charming atmosphere. If you're looking to enjoy a few drinks without emptying your wallet, Huddersfield also has some of the lowest average alcohol prices, with three pints costing just £10.05. But what exactly makes Bradford the ultimate destination for a night out? Well, for starters, the prices are hard to beat. In 2024, the average pint costs £4.35, a bargain compared to London's prices which have risen by a staggering 45% in the last two years alone.
But it's not just about the prices - locals rave about the city's hidden gems and unique charm. According to some Reddit users, popular spots for drinks include The Corn Dolly, The Exchange, The Sparrow, and Sunbridge Wells. And while you may have to put in a bit more effort to find the best spots in Bradford compared to more affluent cities like Leeds, it's worth it. The city's architecture is stunning, even amongst the abandoned buildings.
And speaking of Leeds, it's just a stone's throw away from Bradford and is famed for its vibrant nightlife, particularly among students. For a different kind of night out, you can check out Brudenell Social Club, The Wardrobe, and The Key Club. And for those who prefer a more traditional club scene, Beaverworks and Freedom Mills are popular choices.
But if you're looking for a more expensive night out, London takes the cake with an average cost of £351 per night. While the capital offers thousands of bars, pubs, and clubs, it's no secret that prices can be steep. A pint here will definitely make a dent in your wallet.
So, if you're on a budget, consider heading up to West Yorkshire for an affordable night out. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not explore other cities in the area like Milton Keynes, Swindon, or Aberdeen, all of which offer a night out for under £110. Cheers to a fun and affordable night out in West Yorkshire!
