    Headline statistics on engagement in culture, arts, heritage and sport: findings from the 2023/24 Continuous Household Survey.

    The bulletin contains headline statistics on the following topics:

    • participation in arts activities and attendance at arts events
    • use of the public library service
    • visited a museum or science centre
    • visited PRONI
    • visited a place of historic interest
    • participation in sport

    Note: Data collection for the 2023/24 CHS was carried out using a mix of telephone and face-to-face interviewing modes, a similar approach to that used in 2022/23. For 2020/21 and 2021/22 data collection was by telephone interviewing due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There was also a reduction in the number of questions between 2020/21-2022/23. As a result, the figures from 2020/21 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to the significant changes to the survey in terms of methodology and content.
