This article explores the effects that two “statistical special events” designated under the new ONS special events policy may have had on time series measuring the UK economy. These events were the cold winter experienced in December 2010 and the additional bank holiday granted to celebrate the royal wedding in April 2011. The article provides a provisional analysis ahead of Blue Book 2012 summarising the effects that these events had on key UK macroeconomic series, including output in the production, services, and construction sectors, retail sales, and the labour market. It also describes the evidence on overseas travel and tourism from the international passenger survey.
