Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “All the shows were hugely successful with excellent attendance figures, up on 2023. A strong revenue performance, alongside excellent cost control, resulted in all shows making an above budget return to the Charity.”
- “The Society purchased the Firs Farmhouse as an investment property and signed a lease with BDG (Malvern) for the development of a lodge park in Langdale Wood, with work expected to start in 2025.”
- “In 2024, the Society completed work on and opened a substantial new agricultural building, known as Kildare Hall, as well as enhancements to camping facilities, car park drainage and perimeter fencing.”
- “During December 2023 the Society took the first step toward de-risking its balance sheet by clearing the remaining balance of its CBILS loan.”
