Nearly three quarters of adults visited a heritage site in the past year, according to figures published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s (DCMS) ‘Taking Part’ survey.
Moreover, 31% of adults visited a heritage site at least three or four times over the course of the year and visits from black, minority or ethnic (BME) adults rose by 9% to 59%.
Visitors who lived in the ‘most deprived’ index of deprivation group underwent a significant increase of 17.2 percentage points to 56.9 per cent since 2009/10 when data using this classification were first collected.
