Asian or British Asian residents formed the largest group (4.6%), followed by ‘Black or British Black’ (2.3%) and ‘mixed’ (1.3%), with the smallest group being ‘Chinese’, at 0.9%. This research provides what was the first national information on how a culturally diverse population engages with the arts and culture.
