National Audience Research - After the Interval & Act 2
Audience views on missing cultural events, booking tickets during lockdown, returning to live cultural events with social distancing, and experiencing culture in different formats.
Following the UK lockdown in March, we ran two audience surveys:
- After the Interval (16 April - 27 May)
- Act 2 (1 June - 15 July)
The results of each survey were published in two 'waves' and are available to download, along with reports from our partner organisations.
Act 2 survey - England, Scotland & Wales
1 June - 15 July
After collecting responses for 6 weeks, we have released the Act 2 'at a glance' report and full report. You can also explore the data and filter by different criteria in our interactive dashboard, created with One Further:
With thanks to the Arts Council of Wales for funding the Welsh translation of Act 2.
