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
- “In 2024, The Other Art Fairs Ltd had another successful year, hosting four fairs with a strategic emphasis on sustainability and operational efficiencies. Although the number of fairs decreased from five to four compared to the previous year, this decision enabled a more focused approach to environmental responsibility. Notably, the Melbourne fair was postponed to January 2025. Entering its 14th year, The Other Art Fairs Ltd boasts a powerful reputation within the artistic community. This is evident in the impressive number of artists applying to participate, with over 1,500 applications received for 2024 editions. Our milestone 100th edition was the biggest fair in our history, showcasing over 200 artists in October at London's Truman Brewery. Additionally, overall Audience attendance continues to remain strong exceeding 30,000 visitors across all fairs. Attendee quality continues to strengthen, reflected in the acquisition of over 5,000 artworks at the fairs.”
