The 2024 Creative Census is now closed, thank you to everyone who took part!
The Creative Census gathers evidence to support Cornwall’s Creative Manifesto.
It gathers in-depth intelligence about creative businesses in Cornwall:
- What is their contribution to Cornwall’s economy?
- Which sub-sectors are they working in?
- How can we understand opportunities for growth and the barriers preventing it?
Across the last two years, we have received 770 completed surveys. We are very grateful to those who took part for their time and insights. We estimate the size of the Creative Industries sector in Cornwall to be in the region of 6,000 businesses.
