People in Nottingham city centre were divided over where the city offered a good night out as new data suggests it's the 27th best place to go in the UK. That places Nottingham below places such as Telford, which ranks 2nd, Ipswich and, unfortunately, Derby.
Get Licensed, which runs SIA and security training courses, has analysed data and put together an index of the best places to go. The data analyses the population, bars, clubs and pubs per 100,000 people, the price of a beer, a safety index score, worries of being mugged, robbed or a victim of a violent hate crime and safety walking home at night to then determine an overall score.
Nottingham's overall night out score out of 10 is 5.04, the last place over the score of 5. The data suggests York (7.67) is the best to go on a night out, with Telford (7.56) a close second and Warrington (6.97) some way off in third.
