Passion For Leisure

Since July 2016 the leisure sector has faced a series of turbulent events. Most notably, leisure businesses are beginning to deal with the consequences of the EU referendum vote - many of which are not yet clear. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the vote, our latest survey results show that spending in the UK leisure sector in Q3 has remained strong, and has increased or remained the same in most categories.

Key findings from the Q3 2016 survey results are outlined below. 

Q3 2016 update

• During the three months to September, leisure consumers reported spending more or the same in every leisure category compared to the previous quarter

• Consumers reported the biggest rise in spending on eating out. More people reported increased spending in this category over the last three months, with the measure rising by three percentage points from Q2, and six percentage points since Q1
