People urged to complete creative census survey

People working in the creative industries in Cornwall are being asked to take part in a census. Each year, Cornwall Council carries out its census to find out how many people are working in creative industries. Data from the 2024 survey revealed 10,870 people were employed in creative-related occupations across the county, with 60% of respondents being sole traders or freelancers. The council said the data also showed there were many well-established creative and cultural businesses in Cornwall, with 47% saying they had been trading for 11 years or more. The results of the creative census are used to inform a range of policies, the council added. Carol Mould, portfolio holder for neighbourhoods at the council, said the creative industries were "such a valuable part of Cornwall's economy". She added: "We have so many unique businesses and talented individuals who are making their mark in Cornwall. "Data from the census helps us to recognise how we can support them and help others to thrive in the creative industries." The survey is available on the Let's Talk Cornwall website and is due to close on 6 March. Follow BBC Cornwall on X, Facebook and Instagram.
