- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Because of the nature of its activities the Trust, in common with similar organisations, is dependent on grants for its continuing existence and there is no guarantee that such aid will continue indefinitely. The company is also dependent on its bankers for working capital at certain times. These accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis on the assumption that grant funding and support from the Trust's bankers will continue.”

Significant events
- “For the second consecutive year, 2024/25 saw us achieve record levels of box office sales, with an increase of well over £100,000 on 2023/24.”
- “The highlight of the summer season was the staging of Brassed Off, which grossed over £250,000 and became our biggest selling show ever.”
- “Later in the year Sir Alan Ayckbourn's 90th play, Show and Tell, saw the highest turnover for a new Ayckbourn play in over a decade.”
- “our autumn production of newly commissioned play The Whitby Rebels by Bea Roberts also broke records by being our most successful autumn show.”
- “the first phase of our £4.5M capital project was completed in March 2025 with the replacement of the section of roof above our main auditorium along with the installation of new air handling units”

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
