MANIFESTO

We believe that great art needs great audiences, and that's why our Manifesto outlines our key messages for funders, policy-makers and the sector in England and the evidence behind those views. You can download our Manifesto here.

Audiences UK brings together the very best of thought and practice and is an invaluable network for us to engage with.

Steven Hadley, Chief Executive, Audiences Northern Ireland

Participation Table Media Release

13th December 2010

New analysis by Audiences UK shows 12 million adults actively participate in the arts in England every year, but there is significant variation in local communities throughout the country.

New analysis of data from the Active People survey shows that on average 28.6% of the English adult population state they have spent time doing creative, artistic or musical activities in the last 12 months, but this varies from 39.3% in Camden to just 16.6% in Wigan. Figures also show that whilst there is generally a strong correlation between participation in the arts and attendance at arts events, there are areas where levels of participation are proportionally much higher (including Manchester, Hackney and Cornwall) and places where it is much lower (including Havering, Knowsley and Sefton).
