• “The Adventure Play Fair was first conceptualised in the summer of 2023, with planning approval granted in autumn 2024. Construction began in winter 2025, and the attraction opened to the public in August 2025. This ambitious £3 million project, including essential site upgrades such as drainage and sewage improvements, a new mains water connection, additional catering provision, and facilities including a changing place, represents the Collection's largest project to date.”

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
