'¢ Doing something new and unknown can be difficult
'¢ A lack of knowledge of what is happening and what people might like
'¢ A sense that 'it's not for me'
'¢ Prohibitive cost of theatre tickets, also the cheapest seats are the hardest to
access and sit in for people with physical issues
'¢ Travel ' worries about travelling alone. Getting home late at night seen as
a significant barrier. The further people have to travel seems to exacerbate
the problem.
'¢ Physical/mobility problems as people get older
