b. Review of activities 2021 2022
Wilton's reopened to full capa¢ily in July 2021 and so al the start of the finanaal year, whist the seating capacity was
back to normal, like most Ihealres we expected our ticket sales lo be lower than pre-pandemic. This èxpectation was
driven by audien¢es' continued cautious response to the easing of lockdown restrictions, cancelalions caused by
Covid Gases. and changes in working and socialising patterns as a result of worknng from home. Later on in the year.
the impact of these pattems on ticket sales was exa¢erb*ed by the ¢ost-of-liwng cri51s, strikes, and severe wealher,.
all of which conspired to depress ti￿et sales.
Nonetheless. Wilton's is vory proud that we still rnade a significant cultural contribufr'on..

Commissioned a new Christmas show, The Child in the Snow, created so we could soaally distance il
necessary with only two 8ctots and one understudy lo help give us some Covid-19 resilience. The production
sold ovèr 5,000 lickels. received good reviews and whilst many theatres were forced to close duè to the
pandemic we only cancelled one perfomance.
Reinslaled our engagement programme, wothng with emerging and Mid-ca￿er artists and beginning to offer
heritage tours again to the public.
Promoted a range of ticket prices with 540k of ovr li¢kels being £25 and under,.

Our worfd premiere ol Piers Torday's The Child in the Snow may have done le$5 well financially than previous
Christmas shows but considèring we were in the middle of a new wave of the pandemic and theatres were closing all
around us, we were delightèd that the show broke-even and that we only had to cancel one performance. The

Commercial activities have been hit hard by the pandemic and il was onty in February 2022 that we could begin lo
start booking small room hires again. The vn¢ertainly and difficulties people faced in surnrner 2021 in booking
weddings also had a significant impact on $umtnei wedding bookings for 2022. However, 2023 weddings sales have
begun to bounce back and we arè fèeling confident about our cornmercial offer for the fvlure.

Financial review
The Group results forthe yearlo 30 September 2022 are shown on page 15. The net movement in funds was a deficit
of £95,09212021.' £110,488 surplus). After a difficult year, hampered by the pandemic. thè Trustees are pleased to
report that due to hires, recovering Box Office and the generosity of donors the unrèstricted funds defiatwas £15,574
{2021'. £175.120 surplus). The small deficit is driven pritnaiily by a cornbinalion of increased charitable and Iiading
activities las Wilton's was open all yearl and fewer donations as pandemic-related support tapered off. The deficit on
rèstrietèd funds is, £79.518 12021.. £64.632 deficitl. Voluntary income generated trom appeals and donations,
sponsorship. Wilton's Patrons and Friends for the year was £155.973 {2021'. £546,215), all ol which was unrestricted
nds12021'. £428,240 unrestricted).
There was one main production in the year, Wilton's wodd premiere of The Child in the Snow by Piers Torday. Due
lo the pandemi¢ the focus f(>r this year was cie81ing a show that could be finanaally viable within the ever- changing
Covid land￿aPe. As a receiving house Wilton's benefits from ticket share and associated arrangernents and we were
ple85ed with the results of the Box Office, which whilst lower than pr&pandemic levels but did achieve forecast
targets. Restoration and project relaled expenditure was £10,080 12021.. £42.7781. Amortisation of the Wilton's
Heritage building included herein was £69,43812021.' £69.4381.
Commercial activitiès opèratè through Willon'$ trading subsidiary Mahogany B8r @ Wilton's ￿mited Icorrpany
Number 082843491. This company achieved a surplus of£217,56412021'. £148,610). In a typical year, a combination
of productions and events, weddings and high-profile theatre bookings generate significant commercial income in
Wilton's trading subsidiary. In 2021-22, all of these drivers were hampered by continued pandemic-related new
pattems of working from home, strikes, the cosl-of-living crisis and extreme weather. Mahogany Bar @ Wilton's Ltd
was still, however, able to make distributions of £217,55012021'. £148.6001 lo Wilton's, the parent Charity.
As at 30 September2022, the Group held lunds of£4,465.640 {2021.. £4,560,733) ofwhi¢h £3,205,436 were reslri¢ted
funds as shown in note 22.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the
going concem basis in preparing the finanual $lalemenls. Further details ￿gardIng the adoption of the going concem
basis can be lovnd
in the Accounting Policies.
Despite the on-going repercussions caused by the pandemic. pnjdentffinanaal management in the previouslwo years
has ensured Wlton's has maintained an appropriate level of rèsèrves and is able lo absorb this year's planned Small
deficit. Despite bèing able lo rèopen at full capa¢ity for the entirety of this fin8ncial year many Ihealres found that
audien¢e5 did not relum lo pre-pandemic levels. which wa5 then further hampered by the cost-of-living crisis and
extreme weather events. The Trustees are therefore keeping the financial position of Wilton's under dose and
frequent review. Throughout this finanaal year and into thè nèxtlhè pritsrity will remain lo sustain ourfinantyal position
lo ensure Wilton's Musi¢ Hall as a place foi everyone with a curious imagination.
Ras•r4ès Poliey
The Trustèes Continually rewew the f4nan¢i81 perforn8n￿ and outlook. and with man8gemenl, (x)nsider the risks
surrounding the core operating and trading actiwlies. The Trustee5 are confident that moving forward they will
continue lo offer attractive core charitable activities. as well as maintain profitable Irading activities to meet monthly
working capital requirements and liabilities as they fall due. The reserves policy is to maintain a level of unrestricted
funds to enable Wilton's to rospond to any unforésèèn changes in income and prtsvide a reserve for mainlenan¢È ol
the property. The Trustee5 have assessed the risks affecting the incorne and expenditure of the Charity and they
have agreed that a minimum level of free reserves of approximately six months of operating costs, should be
maintained. The lèvèl of reserves reflects unreslri¢ted fund balances at year-end less designated funds.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF WILTON'S MUSIC HALL
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, respon5ibililies statement included in the Trustees, Report, the Trustees Iwho
are also the Directors of the ¢haritsble cornpany for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation
of thè finan¢ial slalemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intèin31 control 8S
the Trustees determine is ne￿SSary to enable the prepar3btsn of financial slalernents that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are iesponsible for assessing the group's and parent charitable
company's ability lo ¢onlinue as a going COn￿rn, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going eoncern and
using the going ¢on¢ern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent
charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realisb'c alternative bul lo do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststsments
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whethér the financial slalernents as a whole are free from
material rnisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an audilorfs report that indudes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran¢e. bul is not a guaianlee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS IUKI will ahmays delect 8 material misslalement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and a￿ ¢onsidered material if. indiwdually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of u5er5 taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, induding fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and wulalions. We design prO￿dureS in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delè¢t material mi$stalements in respect of irregularities, induding
fraud. The specific procedures for this engagèmènt and the extent lo which these are capable of detecting
iriegularities, including fraud is detailed bèlow..
Obtaining an understanding of the legal 8nd regulatory trameworks that the entity operates in, knusing on
those law$ and regulation5 that had a direct effect on the financial slalements.,
Enquiry of management lo identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud,.
Enquiry of managèmènt around any a¢tual and potential litigation and claims.,
Reviewing the design and implemenlalion of Control syslerns in place and testing operational ettects'veness.,
Perftsiming audit work over the risk of management override, including tests'ng of joumal entries and other
adjuslmenls for appropriateness.,
Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the nom)al course of business,.
Reviewing accounting estimates for bias,.
Reviewng minutes of meetings of those charged with govèm3nee',
Reviewing financAal statement disdosures alongside supptsrtin9 do¢umenlalion lo assess compliance with
applicable laws and wulations.
Becavse of the inherent limitation5 of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularitiès, including those
leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and Iiansadions reflected in the financial
statements, as we will be lèss likèly lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater
regarding irrÈgularilies owuriing due lo fraud r8lher than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery,
collusion, omission or misrepre5entalion.

1.2 Going concern

1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit lo a third
party, it is probable Ihat a transfer of econom￿ benefits will bè raquired in sèttlement and the 8mounl of the
obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings..
81 Co$1 ol raising ftJnd5 comprise of c0515 of direct fundraising and the costs of comrnercial trading induding
the b8r and theatre hire and their associated support costs.
bl Expenditure on charitable activities indudes the cost of perfom)ances, educational and heritage activ￿e5
and other activities undertaken to further the purposè of thè charity and their assoeialèd support costs.
cl Other expenditure represents those items that do not fall into eilhtsr of the above categorie5.
Supptsrt costs are those fijndions that assist the work of the Group but do not directly undertake charitable
activities. These include office and maintenance costs, finan￿, administralitsn and governan￿ costs which
support Wilton's Music Hall's artistic, educational, heritage programs and activits'es and commercial Operat￿On5.
Governance costs are those costs assouated with the constitutional and statutory requirèmènts of tha ¢hafity.
Governance costs are those incurred in conne¢tion with adrninislration of the company and compliance with
conststutional and slalulory fequiremenls.
Heritage Assets
In 2012. the assets and liabilities of Wellclose Square Building PreseNation Trust Ltd We￿ tranSfer￿d to thè
charity. Within the assets was the property known as Wilton's Music Hall, which has been included at rts net
book value. Significant capital improvements have been undertaken in past financial years and initially thesè
works were being capitalised within fixed assets as property improvements. The Tru5tÈes revigwed the position
and considered that it would be more reflective of the actual propety assèt hèld lo add ¢aptsl works lo the cost
of the heritage building. On this basis, a transfer was mad6 bètweèn fixèd assets and hèritage assets 8$ 8130
September 2015.
The property improvements are being depreciated over the expected useful economic life of these works over
the next 50 years. The Trustees consider it is not possible lo value the original building transferred due to it
being a unique building which was in a poor stale of repair on transfer. In addition, it is not considered a good
use of charity money to attempt to obtain a valuation of such in its original transfèr stste.
Wilton's Music Hall has a ¢olle¢tion of archive material con51sling of approxirllalety 200 boxes of paper records,
photographs. and a5$0rted rnultimedia including CD. DVD and audio cassette tapes, and electronic records.
The material ranges from the rnid-1960s through to the present. The majority of the material has been creatèd
by organisations or bodies associated with the campaign to save and restore Wilton's. and with its USÈ as a
venue by organisalions that have been resident at Wilton's. There are also itèms. or$mall ¢olle¢tions olfflalerial,
which have been donated lo the archive because of their relevance lo Wilton's which date fiom 1871 to the
present day.
Wilton's also has a collection of frttings and artefacts thought to be from 18th to èarly 19th Cèntury. Thèse were
found at Wilton's prior lo the resloralion work being carried out in the 1980s 8nd more recently in 2012. These
in¢lude a vaiiely of objects suth 85 pottery and moulded plaster decorations.
The archive and collections are added to through intemal transfer of records and through donations from the
public. The collections have been stored in se¢ure archive boxes and are listed. An Ar¢hivts & Inlerpretalion
Manager establishes poliues. pro¢edure$ and guidelines for all 8spe¢ts of the arthive and collections, including
preservation. organisalion and rnanagernenl and access. In doing so Wilton's aim is to make the archive
accessible lo the organisation and lo the public.
A la¢k of comparable market values for the collection makes obtaining a meaningful valuat+on extremely difficult
therefore, no value has been included wsthin these financial statements for the collecl'on.
