Culture Pulse: UK Festivals and Events

Festivals and cultural events remain popular across the UK, but safety and accessibility concerns still shape how people attend.

  • Attendance: most go occasionally or once a year, with music festivals leading the way

  • Preferences: outdoor festivals are the clear favourite, far ahead of stadiums or local venues

  • Safety concerns: overcrowding, weak security, and lack of information/support top the list

  • Behavioural impact: nearly 2 in 3 have avoided or left an event due to safety or wellbeing concerns

  • What would help: easier travel info, live safety updates, anonymous reporting, and accessibility guides would encourage more attendance

💡 Insights: While cultural events are well-loved, safety and practical barriers are holding people back. Clearer information, visible security, and real-time updates could make festivals more inclusive, welcoming, and safe for everyone.
