Study finds Newcastle's Christmas market to be one of the UK's cheapest
Newcastle’s Christmas market has been found to be one of the UK’s cheapest for drinks.
Alliance Online, catering specialists, analysed beverage costs at the UK’s most popular Christmas markets to reveal where Brits will find the best value this festive season, from winter warmers to a festive pint.
They found Newcastle’s offerings to be one of the cheapest in the country, although some may argue the prices are still well above options in pubs and bars across the city.
With beers at Leeds’ Christmas market costing £6, Newcastle’s £6.50 options put it level in second alongside Manchester and Liverpool.
A £6.50 mulled wine puts the North East site in joint fourth, losing out to best priced options of £5 in Leeds.
Despite these numbers, non alcoholic options are pricey in Newcastle compared to much of the UK, with Tyneside’s festive offering placed 9th in the ranking of the cheapest hot chocolates according to those checking.
A warm beverage costs £5.50 in Newcastle while Leeds once again is the nation’s cheapest at £3.50.
