Significant events
- “Perth Theatre and Concert Hall concluded 2024/25 with a strong performance, surpassing our annual audience target and demonstrating resilience within Scotland's cultural sector.”
- “In 2024/25, we absorbed an unexpected payroll increase of £175,000 (14.07%) due to the Scottish Government's Fair Work First mandate, which required the earlier implementation of the Real Living Wage than originally planned.”
- “We received a 38% uplift in Multi-Year Funding support from Creative Scotland for the period 2025/26-2027/28.”
- “Our landmark event, 125 Live!, will transform Perth's Mill Street into a vibrant cultural playground where families can enjoy a free daytime festival filled with interactive activities; local performances alongside the Scottish première of La Petita Malumaluga's Beatles for Babies”
