A new comparison of costs for a “big night out” ranks the 2017 City of Culture as the cheapest British city. The Daily Mail reports that in the 2017 City of Culture, the average price of drinks is £21, a kebab costs £7, and a taxi ride costs £7.50.

The outlet presents these figures as part of a wider affordability comparison across UK cities, focusing on typical spending categories for an evening out. However, the provided articles do not specify the methodology, the full list of cities included, the exact source of pricing data, or whether the figures are based on a particular date, venue type, or survey period.

As reported, the key takeaway is the relative cost of the selected items in that city during the 2017 City of Culture, rather than broader measures of living costs or longer-term pricing trends. No additional perspectives from other outlets are included in the supplied text.
