Headline statistics on engagement in culture, arts, heritage and sport: findings from the 2022/23 Continuous Household Survey.

Note: Following a move in 2020/21 from face-to-face interviewing to telephone interviewing to collect data, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, data collection for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 surveys used a mix of telephone and face-to-face modes.  There has also been a reduction in the number of questions in all three years.  Therefore, the results from these years are not directly comparable to previous years due to the significant changes to the survey in terms of methodology and content.   While comparisons can be made between 2021/22 and 2022/23, it is important to note that engagement in 2021/22 would have been impacted by closures due to COVID-19.
