- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The launch of a curriculum aligned education program in 2025, co-designed with local schools.”
- “The successful delivery of the Festival of Christmas, with December visitation increasing by over 50% year on year.”
- “Investment during 2025 focused on improving and restoring existing infrastructure, including upgrades to the visitor car park and ongoing repairs and maintenance across the estate.”
- “The breeding programme was reduced in response to declining demand for rare breeds and to support increased rotation and land regeneration.”
