Full livery costs??

It varies from one extreme to another depending where you are in the Country. Have a search of previous threads there's loads on here.
In West Yorkshire it averages between £75-£125 depending on facilities and what's included.
I pay £85 for full livery 7 days.
Includes hay and straw. Not hard feed. An outdoor arena.
Turnout bring in mucking out etc.... The same yard charges £75 for 5 days.
Another yard that charges £125 a week near us has an indoor school, x country course and outdoor arena with a farm ride.
 
At the other extreme is Surrey esp the Surrey hills! Down here full means everything Inc exercise. Grooming, tack cleaning and washing etc. Full can be from £650-1500 pcm!

Part is often everything bar exercise and grooming and ranges from £450-900
 
South Wales (20mins outside Cardiff)
£90pw all in apart from feed.
Lovely quiet yard, decent turnout.
Use of all facilities incl. Indoor & Outdoor arena, horsewalker and competition venue on site.

Horse is semi retired and I rarely use any of the above but she's happy!

The other thing to consider is
what is classed as full livery ie what you need doing

Here you get 7 days a week muck out to etc feed everything except grooming and tack cleaning - riding - its part livery and £ 98 per week schools jumps etc.
 
On average (I've been on a few livery yards using a similar service in terms of 5 day full/part liv) I used to pay £400 PCM for 5-day livery. That included all the usual turn-out, bring-in, muck-out, etc, feed (x2 a day, basic feed), hay (x1-x2 nets per day), bedding (x1 shavings per week). Weekends were DIY, though TO in the morning was an option at one yard, the other it was at an additional expense. Facilities included outdoor school, all year turnout, good hacking, tea room, toilet, big boxes (one yard the box was already rubber matted), big storage space.

Another full livery yard I was at I paid £475 for 7 day full liv with all of the above facilities (excluding exercise though) and extra facilities included indoor school (aswell as outdoor), playing field (de-sensitising field I used it for), full set of proper show jumps, lunge pen.

Round here full livery is used in two ways

Some yards use it to differentiate between 5 day (part) and 7 day (full)
Others use part to mean all basic care (stable, turnout, access to facilties, muck out, turn out/catch in, hay, feed) and full to mean all of that plus exercise and grooming.
Some include hard feed, some don't. Some have a limited hay/shavings allowance so many people have to buy more.

Prices vary from about £400 for 5 day to £1000 and more at a very smart yard where you need do nothing more than turn up and ride.

It is an expensive part of the country here though.
 
Midlands. £350 month for Mon to Fri care including feed, forage and bedding. Nice big school, good turnout and off road hacking.
 
Full livery for me is £95 per week (£411 per month) and includes, feed, bedding (shavings), hay or haylage, mucking out, bringing in, turnout, rug changes, feet pick out, legs hose off (when needed), use of school and jumps, wash box and heat lamps (lamps on meter as is hot water for shower). 7 days a week 365 days a year.

I'm in yorkshire
