Published by Statista Research Department, Jun 13, 2023

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic changed significantly how households in the United Kingdom spent on leisure and cultural activities. The weekly average expenditure on package holidays abroad, restaurants, and café meals declined sharply in the 2022 fiscal year compared to 2020. By contrast, spending on TV, cable subscriptions, and similar products increased, with an average weekly expenditure of 5.8 British pounds between April 2021 and March 2022.
