A new study by Bristol nightclub Movement has revealed that students are positively affected by clubbing.
The study, conducted through a questionnaire completed by 318 students in and around Bristol, also revealed that a large number of clubgoers have felt more connected during the winter months, when seasonal affective disorder becomes more prevalent.
85% of students said that clubbing helps them connect with people during those months, while 88% of those surveyed revealed that going to clubs improves your mental well-being.

A recent Keep Hush poll, ‘Are you going out?’, revealed that Generation Z is now less interested in clubbing than ever before. The study showed that there was only 25% interest in going out to nightclubs, later falling to 13% in a follow-up survey.
During the pandemic, many students missed out on a crucial ‘rite of passage’ as clubs were closed for nearly two years. In the recent In Motion survey, 92% of students feel they missed that important step.
“With such a large number of students recognizing the importance of going out for their mental well-being, we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to make sure no one misses out on nightlife in Bristol (and beyond),” he said. Travis Derrick, Booker in Movement.

“Movement is a huge part of the Bristol scene, but it doesn’t come without the gems of the city that many students will discover during their first years of university.
“We love Bristol and want to make sure this year’s intake of students, especially those who missed out on their first years of clubbing, do too,” he added.
In response to the current statistics, Motion has launched a new campaign, titled Keep Bristol Moving, encouraging young people to get out and party through pop-up events, live streams and student giveaways. More information about the campaign here.
