    Abstract

    ![CDATA[The night-time economy is a phenomenon that has begun to interest many social science researchers, especially in Britain. However, the term ‘economy’ should not be taken too literally here because, while economics and commerce are critical components, there are other forms of economy than those strictly involving the production, exchange and consumption of goods and services. There are also social and cultural economies, in which groups of people, identities, values, and practices are created, modified, circulated and valued. The night-time economy is a striking manifestation of the increasingly intricate and dynamic relationship between these material, social and cultural economies (Lovatt and O’Connor 1995).]]
