I’ve got a fiesta 09 plate need rear suspension bushes replaced . What’s an average cost - been told £250- but friends say £150

You'll be best ringing local garages & getting actual quotes as prices vary across the country & online guesstimating may not be helpful.

Much the same as your mates guesstimating unless they are mechanics & are offering to do the job for you or have had the same job carried out & that's what the garage charged.

Assuming you're talking rear subframe bushes(?) £250 is reasonable. Parts are probably only a quarter or less of that price, but it's probably a couple of hours work and it can be quite heavy going. It's not a DIY job for the faint-hearted because a pulling tool and / or a lot of brute force are required to remove and refit the bushes.

Sometimes is cheaper just to replace the arms with the bushes already in.

Is a fiesta I doubt3 it had rear arms
More the likely a rear twist beam axle

The OP didn't bother putting it on his first post on this thread.

Probably thought no-one would notice he'd already asked the question - and that no-one would ask him what car he was talking about
