Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have reviewed the future cashflow and financial plans of the organisation in detail and, whilst there is always some unpredictability as to the level of earned income, they are comfortable with the underlying assumptions and can therefore confirm that it is appropriate to continue to produce the accounts on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “2024/25 marked Amit Sharma (Artistic Director/CEO) and Iain Goosey's (Executive Director) first full year in post as the Executive team of Kiln Theatre.”
• “Across the year we welcomed over 47,000 audience members across six Kiln shows, delivering over £950,000 at the box office.”
• “The year was also bookended by two West End transfers (Two Strangers [Carry a Cake Across New York] and Amit Sharma's production of Retrograde) demonstrating the quality of Kiln's productions and the commercial appeal and reputation of a venue staging West End ready work.”
• “In 2024/25, 58% of customers bought a Kiln ticket for the first time. Hyperlocal audiences increased to 33% (+7%) for preview attendees and 28% overall (+2%), indicating consistent growth.”
• “Our first ever Kiln-led Green Book-aligned production was Peanut Butter and Blueberries in August 2024. Three following productions achieved scenery targets, four achieved costume targets, and four achieved props targets, with Peanut Butter and Blueberries achieving the full Basic standard.”
• “The Cinema auditorium underwent a two-month refurbishment in 2024/25 which involved a major technical and facilities infrastructure upgrade - including a new projector, seating, carpeting and more efficient lighting and heating solutions.”

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
