What we're asked about

Four themes journalists come to us for.

Insurance costs

The premium and availability crisis facing activity venues, and what reform would change.

Child safety standards

How supervised play venues manage risk, and why standards vary across the sector.

Family cost of living

Pricing pressure on family days out and what it means for local leisure businesses.

Small business viability

Energy, rates, staffing and seasonality in a sector made up of owner-run venues.
