- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the Company together with the expected future cash flows, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue its activities for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “This year marked significant progress across all areas of the organisation. We hosted 259 live event days across our estate, including concerts, theatre, sport, comedy, and exhibitions. In total, 750,000 guests attended live events, with a further 150,000 visiting our ice rink and 100,000 enjoying the Phoenix Bar & Pizzeria and East Court.”
- “Our programming showcased breadth and innovation, with performances from Underworld, Griff, and Frank Turner, who headlined our 3,000th concert, alongside major televised sporting events such as the PDC World Darts Championship and World Snooker Masters.”
- “In-house events continue to be an area of strategic growth. We successfully produced major occasions such as London's largest Fireworks Festival (75,000 attendees), the Kaleidoscope Festival (10,000 attendees), and the German Bier Festival.”
- “The Ice Rink has seen continued growth in visitor numbers and engagement. Highlights included record-breaking festive skating sessions, the successful expansion of our hockey programme with the introduction of a women's team - The Greyhounds - and the hosting of the UK's first drag-hosted Pride hockey match.”
- “Sustainability and accessibility remain central to our long-term strategy. During the year, we eliminated single-use plastic cups, hosted Octopus Energies Gusty the Wind turbin at Kaleidoscope festival, introduced paperless ticketing, and installed a new Changing Places facility with the support of Haringey Council and other partners.”

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
