Nights in are on the rise as our leisure-time habits change

Nights in are on the rise, with new research from Tesco revealing much of the nation will be changing how they spend time with family and friends this autumn/winter. Two in five people (41%) are planning to stay at home, and a further third (31%) say they will significantly reduce how often they go out.

Collectively, UK adults spend £9.3 billion per month on nights out including dining out, trips to the pub, cinema, gigs and theatre, bowling, crazy golf and nightclubs – that equates to £177.71 on average per person.

The nation’s top night out is dining at a restaurant, with the average adult doing so three times a month and spending £35 each time, which equates to £2 billion collectively. This rises to seven times a month for Gen Z and Millennials. However, just over one tenth of the nation (11%) says they spend too much money on nights out.
