New report shows that Brits still love a night out

The UK’s largest operator of premium late night bars and clubs with 59 venues, announces the launch of The Deltic Night Index Report, a comprehensive study into the UK’s late night economy.

Peter Marks, Chief Executive, The Deltic Group, commented, “Against the backdrop of recent news of club closures and reports on the decline of the late night economy, The Deltic Night Index Report shows us that this is not the case, and that going out is still very much on the agenda in the UK.

“Whether it’s to see our mates or to just have a dance – it seems that as a nation we still love a night out! Our data shows that nearly 40% of Brits go out on a late night out once a week and 72% of 18-21 year olds go out once a week or more, this clearly demonstrates that there is a need for late night venues on the UK’s high streets. The late night economy generates £66 billion annual revenue* and is responsible for one third of town turnover*, with this in mind it’s important we continue support and invest to ensure its future.”
