If you are planning your hen night, you might be interested in the receent findings on a poll organised by Travelodge. Hen and stag celebrations abroad are on the down and Pink Ladies in Liverpool are top of the crop.
A recent poll survey revealed some fascinating facts and figures on just what girls and guys are up to when celebrating their last night of freedom.
Home is best according to Travelodge, commenting "Our research has revealed couples are ‘coming back home’ to celebrate their last days of being single, before tying the knot. Our records show the most popular destinations for a UK hen and stag event are: London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Liverpool and surprisingly locations such as Harrogate, Kendal, Perth, St Austell and Isle of White are hitting the hen and stag radar this year”.
The poll of 4,000 adults found men will attend on average two stag events this year, costing an average of £370.21 each time. The biggest expense of £120 going on travelling and accommodation followed by £107 being spent on an outfit and gimmicks for the groom while the customary stripper accounting for £57.93. A total of £85.63 will be splashed out on food and drinks.
In comparison, women will only go on one hen night this year, at a cost of £323.41. Just over £111 of that will be spent on accommodation and travelling to and from the party with £94.04 being shelled out on embarrassing outfits and props for the bride-to-be. Food and drink will cost another £68.21 and almost £50 will be spent on
entertainment for the night.
The poll also found that 46% of people think dressing up is all part of a traditional hen or stag night, with devil horns being the most popular outfit for women, followed by personalised t-shirts and dressing in a particular colour (red and pink being the most popular).
