Wrexham has been named among the top three best cities in the UK for a night out.

The North Wales city beat out the likes of Chester, Bangor and Bradford in the list which was based on data on the number of bars, clubs and pubs in each city; the average cost of a pint and a takeaway; and how safe a place is when walking alone at night. 

Wrexham was named the third-best night out in the UK behind Truro and Lichfield with a score of 67.83 out of 100 (under three points behind the top spot). 

But Wrexham did boast the cheapest pint in the UK, with an average price per 0.5L of £2.

The study was conducted by Luck.com and was based off data from sites including Tripadvisor, What Pub and Numbeo. 

A spokesperson from Luck.com said: “Truro is the best, cheapest and safest U.K. city for a night out, according to this new analysis.

"It is interesting, however, that the data exclusively names cathedral cities in England, Wales and Scotland, rather than larger metropolitan cities.

"This suggests partygoers can enjoy celebrations to the fullest in welcoming environments without paying higher prices that are often found in larger cities, such as London and Manchester.”
