A national online survey ‘After The Interval: Act 1’ has captured audience views on returning to arts events, booking tickets now and in future, and how they feel about missing out on live events during lockdown.
Act 1 summarises the period 16 April to 6 May. The same respondents will be asked the same questions in Act 2, covering the period 7 May – 27 May.

Live & Local ran its own survey, with rural touring specific questions, and findings are broadly in line with the ‘After The Interval’ report, but does show that village hall type venues are those where audiences are the most likely to return to first.
