Experts from NetVoucher.co.uk used Google trends data to research what people in different areas are getting up to.
A spokesman said: “Many people have a lot more time on their hands right now than they are used to and as the lockdown continues increasing numbers are switching off their televisions and finding more interesting ways to keep themselves entertained. The perfect hobby is one that lets you tap into some of your energy and creativity but doesn’t tap into your wallet in a significant way.
