- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group or parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The Trustees were devastated by the death of our Chair, Dame Julie Kenny DBE DL, in February 2025 at the age of 67.”
- “We were delighted to welcome Elizabeth Newman as Artistic Director in December 2024.”
- “Another cause championed by Julie was the welcoming of the Montgomery Theatre & Arts Centre into the Sheffield Theatres family, following an approach from the trustees of the Montgomery in 2024. The acquisition was completed officially on 3rd January 2025.”
- “The Trustees are also aware of the issues relating to the World Snooker Championship contract which currently ends on April 2027. Negotiations are ongoing with relevant stakeholders and parties to ensure the renewal of this contract.”
