Party Pieces

Yell.com puts the names, addresses and telephone numbers of over 2 million UK businesses at your fingertips. You can search by classification for companies matching the type of business you need, or you can look for details of a specific company by searching for a company name. The service covers the whole of the UK (except the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands).

In preparation for the fast-approaching Christmas party season, we commissioned a report by consumer think tank and trends forecaster Future Foundation to look at the changing style of party-going in the UK.

To fully understand the partying antics in our society today, we looked into trends and opinions in five core areas:

  1. Impact of technology on partying habits
  2. Party expenditure
  3. Party etiquette
  4. Different types of party-goers
  5. Ingredients of a perfect party

Our report paints a colourful picture of the UK party scene in 2008 and presents some interesting regional nuances, plus, of course, the inevitable differences of opinion between men and women on what makes a bash a success. The results capture the partying mood and vibe of today's UK party-goers and are as illuminating as they are socially significant.
