Home isn’t just where the heart is according to a new survey – home entertaining is on the increase and it’s where people are now more likely to entertain family and friends.

Households throughout the South West area are gearing up for everything from family gatherings through to kids’ parties, formal cocktail evenings and of course Christmas dinner, and a new survey has highlighted the importance of home as the perfect venue.

As Christmas entertaining gets into full swing the survey from local housebuilder David Wilson Homes reveals that almost 50 per cent of people are more likely to entertain at home now than they were five years ago.

David Wilson Homes sales director Sara Parker said that 48 per cent of people quizzed said that cost and convenience make home the best place for entertaining.

“Cost is certainly a factor for some people but for others home provides the most convenient venue to host a wide range of events and that’s something that we bear in mind when building new homes,’’ she said.

“Open plan living perfectly accommodates everything from informal dinner parties through to family gatherings and guests dropping in while dining rooms are still popular with those who like to host dinner parties.”
