Significant events
- “There was no academic programming throughout 2024, following the difficult decision made by Queen's University to close all academic programming, to undertake significant conservation and restoration of the entire south elevation of Herstmonceux Castle.”
- “The grounds re-opened to the public on 1st May 2024 and commercial activities resumed on 1st April 2025 with the re-opening of the castle coffee shop.”
- “During this time, work progressed on several infrastructure projects funded by Queen's University including a new WIFI fire alarm system in Bader Hall and the Castle, a new waste management treatment plant, and a replacement oil tank for heating oil for the Castle.”
- “Shortfalls that arose in the early years of the College's inception were covered by Queen's University and the historic debt written off in January 2020.”
- “Significant structural issues associated with sections of the Castle necessitated its closure, and the closure of the College, in November 2023.”

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
