The second highest category of spending was recreation and culture, at £57.90 a week. This includes TVs, computers, newspapers, books, leisure activities and package holidays. On average, £12.30 a week was spent on package holidays abroad, compared with £0.90 a week on package holidays in the UK.
These statistics where taken from 2008 to the end of 2009. http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=284 Market intelligence provider Key Note valued the market for leisure activities outside the home at £60.4bn in 2009, representing just 7% of total consumer spending. In Leisure Outside the Home, its new Market Review, Key Note's consumer research* provides clear evidence that the recession has had an impact on leisure activities outside the home, with trips involving significant spending, such as eating out or going to the cinema, down in terms of percentage penetration.
These deteriorations are in contrast with previous increases in penetration observed between 2006 and 2008. For example, the penetration of people eating out increased from 50.4% to 53.3% over the period from 2006 to 2008, while the proportion of people going to the cinema rose from 23.5% to 34.8%. Another indication of the recession's impact is that activities which cost very little, such as visiting friends or relatives (VFR), countryside walks and outdoor pursuits, either remained stable or increased between 2008 and 2010.
