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
- “The Park has continued to trade well, with turnover remaining strong, year on year.”
- “Increased running costs, mainly in staff wages and salaries, have impacted upon profit margins. However, savings have been achieved in the cost of energy used, partly supported by recent further investment in renewable energy installations, which has also helped to reduce the Park's carbon footprint.”
- “The directors have continued to invest in capital improvements, enhancing the experience of visitors, improving staff facilities and increasing capacity in the holiday resort, which had another successful year.”
- “Mr R G Down (Deceased 6 March 2024)”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
