CHICHESTER FESTtVAL THEATRE- 31 MARCH 2022
OUR CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
It is my enormou5 privilege to succeed Sir William (Bill) Castell as the Chalr of Chichester
Festival Theatre, and I proudly took over this baton from March 2022 just as our theatre
closed its financial year and looked ahead to Festival 2022 and its special 60th anniversary.
Bill ha5 provided exemplary leadership to the organisation over the past eleven years and has
handed over a thriving and successful enterprise that remain5 at the forefront of the UK and
regional theatre and cultural scene. This report sets out the many ways in which CFT has
responded to the ongoing challenges of 2021/22 with innovation, determination and
resourcefulnes5.
l am fortunate to inherit a dedicated Board of Trustees that has worked pro-bono to support
our Executive and Senior Management Team as they have navigated another year that has
been so badly impacted by Covid-19. In particular. I highlight the challenges of continuing to
present outstanding work on our stages, as well a5 our vttal off-stage community attivities,
whilst protecting the financial resilience of the theatre.
2022 sees CFT celebrate its 60 anniversary- a year of bold and ambitious programming, on
and off-stage. l am delighted that for my first season, our plans will see us produce one of
our largest Summer Festivals. including 6 world premiere productions, 3 musicals, work with
contemporary and relevant themes. reimagining of classic plays, a digltal festival and work
for family audiences. This will be followed by a broad and entertaining selection of touring
productions in our Winter Season.
A5 a charitable organisation, CFf remains immensely grateful for the support of the Cultural
Recovery Fund, which awarded two grants this year. allowing us to present a reduced Festival
21 to our audiences and meet the additional costs of re￿penIng in a world still impacted by
Covid-19. Their support stands alon85ide the invaluable financial contribution from our
5UPPOrters, sponsors and legacy-givers, which underpins our work on and off stage and for
which we are truly grateful.
Delivering our plans for 2022/23 will require 3 balanced approach. We need to rebuild and
stabilise our busine55 model. ensuring that we continue to remain resilient, robust and
dynamic in changing circumstances. We will present bold and ambitious programming that
attracts patrons back to the theatre, whilst expanding our horizons to reach new commurbitie5
and audiences. This is an important time for theatre to play its part in the recovery of society
from the ravages of the pandemic and rebuild wider societal confidence.
I look forward to leading the Board and helping the Executive Team guide and resource the
organi5ation in order to deliver our plans. On a personal level, l am exctted and energised by
the potential CFT ha5 to truly embody its role a5 a theatre founded by, and existing for it5
local community, whilst working to lead the industry nationwide and shining as a beacon for
the UK'S creativity and theatre prowess at home and abroad.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE- 31 MARCH 2022
OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM'S REPORT
Despite the Covid-19 challenges and lockdowns of the past two years, we are proud that as a
theatre we have remained active, responsive and creative. Over the past year and with the
help of two successful Cultural Recovery Fund grants and the generous support of loyal
donors, we have produced a range of work on our stages, kept our core staff employed and
delivered a Summer season without losing a single performance to Covid-19, thanks to the
added safety rneasures we put in place on and off our stage5 to protect our cast, creative
teams and audSences. Our work included productions as diverse as Crave. South Pacific, The
Long Song, Home, Doubt and ouryouth Theatre Christmas production of Pinocchio.
We have been at the forefront of streaming work digitally where possible; and as a large
harity, we have maintained the output from our LEAP department which drives our
engagement with youngpeople and our local community. While we continueto recognisethe
potential on-going risk and impact associated with the pandemic, we feel our responsibility
as a cultural and community leader ever more acutely.
The year began with an unexperted delay to our season due to extended lockdown
regulations. As in 2020, we prioritised bringing the audience back on to our site by delivering
weekend of outdoor concerts. whettin8 audience appetrte for the season ahead. We
cancelled ourfirsttwo productions and opened in the MineNaTheatre with a weekof cabaret
events to gauge audience confidence in retuminE to the smaller theatre. The CRF grant
enabled us to put stringent measures in place to mitigate risks around Covid-19 across the
site. Our summer musical. South Pacific, was delivered with a mix of full capacity and socially
distanced performance5 providing comfort to customers Still anxious about returning to the
theatre in large numbers. We also livestreamed the production globally to ensure we gave
all our audiences an opportunity to stay connected to our work. In total, we programmed
two productions in the Festival Theatre and three in the Minerva.
Our winter season launched at the beginning of September and we saw a shift in booking
patterns with audiences waiting to book much closer to the performance date. There was
also a distintt sense that people wanted to be entertained with productions with upbeat,
familiar stories. Most popular were our classic dramas with well-known performers, a touring
ballet and our Christmas concerts. Overall our Winter sales were considerably down on
previous years as a result of the Omicron variant which hit hard in December and led to the
cancellation of shows in early Spring.
As we emerge from the pandemic in our 60 year, we acknowledge that in the current
economic climate and with the impact of higher livin8 Costs. we Still have a long road ahead
before audience numbers return to pr&pandemiclevels. 2022123 could proveto be our most
hallenging year yet, with box office income significantly reduced. We have identified key
risks and will work as an organisation to ensure that we remain agile in our approach to
programming. Financial targets have been realistically set and healthy strategic reserves will
allow us to deliver an ambitious season which we hope will entice our audiences back through
our doors.

down any physical, mental, emotional and cultural barriers that prevent theatre being accessible

The impact of Covid-19 on Chichester Festival Theatre during 2021-22 did not abate as we had hoped.
The fallout from the pandemic continued to be significant l)oth operationally and financially las our
Financial Review on page 19 dètails) impacting every aspect of our organisalion. Fortunately, the
lifting of restrictions and falling ca5e5 of Covid-19 in Summer 2021, together wtth the impact of the
national vaccination programme and CRF funding, allowed us to open our Festwal 2021 *ason on 5
July with our la￿e scale musical. South Pocifi¢. However, the changing nature of the pandemic and
government guidance together with the surge of a new variant from December 2021 made the rest
of the year very challenging, particularly in temis of audience behaviour. Whi15t we found that
established theatre supporters were keen to book and retum, there have been clear trends towards
later booking, a preference for 'entertainment', 'Ltplifting' not 'heaty drama and Sadly, many
theatregoers had simply lost the habit of going to live theatre or appear hesitant to return to large
events in c105ed space5.
Our Busines5 Plan and stated objectives continue to guide us, but the Executive Team and Board have
again had to re-plan and re-budget during the year, adopt costly Covid-19 safety measures to protect
our audiences and companies, significantty reduce Boxoffice Sale5tsrgets and adapt both our creattve
programme and bu5ines5 planning underdifferent scenarios in order to manage the changing external
constraints on our productions.

In 2021-22, CFfs planned focus was to programme, produce and host INe work with a focu5 on
excellence and ambition whi15t being innovatNe and developing our digital capability to deliver
activities on and off Stage for audiences both in-person and online. This year. CFT has successfully'.-
Prioritised audience reengagement as patrons returned to our theatres, whilst continuing to

Maintained high-quality in our productions. Strong reviews were attained for our Festival 2021
productions, notably a string of 4 and 5 stars for South P17cific. The long Song and The Beuuty
Queen of Leent7ne. Meanwhile, our previous 2017 production of Caroline, Or Chonge opened to
almost universal critical acclaim on Broadway in 2021 and our produttion of 5ingin' in the Rain
continues on a 2022 UK tour after a relaunch at Sadlers Wells in Summer 2021.
We have 5Dught out opportunitie5 to collaborate with freelan￿ artists and practitioners in new
partnership5.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE - 31 MARCH 2022
We delivered on our plan to have more co-productions, most notably with the Lyric,
Hammersmith and have scheduled work with a more diverse range of theatres and increased
numbers of co-producers in the coming year.
We have delivered on our planned digttal strategy with two areas of focu5= the creation of digital
content and enhancing the audience experience. and the investment in a new digital team to
build wider access to our work.
Festival 2021
Our successful application to the Cultural Recovery Fund 2 ICRF 21 for £953,264 undoubtedly enabled
us to plan for a reduced Festwal 21 and to reopen our auditoria, employing the artists, creatives and
seasonal staff on which our productions rely. This CRF funding was designed to help the theatre
industry get back on its feet and to meet the additional costs of Covid-19 measure5 that allowed
venues to reopen. In short, this funding gave us the confidence to plan and launch Festival 21 and ta
run creative workshops, support new work in Its development through read-throughs/audience-
testing on our stage and to provide employment for our staff. casts and creatives.
With the priority to ￿open our theatres as soon as possible and to present a reduced Festlval 2021
with bold programming that would delight and encourage returning audiences, South Pocific. by
Rodger5 & Hammerstein diretted by Daniel Evans, opened the Festival Season to a socially
distanced audience.
Stringent Covid-19 measures were in place for both the company and CFT staff with daily testin
separate backstage facilities, enhanced cleaning and theatre fogging. From 19 July when the
government restrictions on indoor auditoria were lifted, we continued to offer one socially distanced
performance per week, which continued to sell well with audiences.
In addition, streamed performances of South Pocific sold 3,602 passes to individuals and households
and attracted audiences from 39 countries across the globe. with 36% sold to local audiences and 64%
beyond the Southeast. 51% of bookers were new to and 12% of the stream bookers a150
subsequently saw a live performance at the Festival Theatre. In a new initiative, we also offered a
British Sign Language stream option in addition to a captioned stream, which increased our reach to
give new audience5 the chance to See our work from home.
Repeating the success of 2020, an Open-Air Weekend ran from 31 May 2021 featuring four outdoor
evening Concerts in the Park and dayiime activities and two perfomiances for family audiences. Over
3,5tXI people attended these.
To welcome audiences back to the Minerya Theatre. we were able to schedule cabaret events, which
were well received and attracted some of our booker5 from our Spiegeltent in 2019. We were unable
to go ahead with a planned production of The Flock by Zoe Cooper scheduled forthe MineNa Theatre
in August due to Issues with the Script but presented both The Beouty Queen of Leenone by Martin
McDonagh as a co-production with the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in September and David StoreI5
award-winning 1970s playi Home in October and November.
In Ortober, the Festival Theatre staged a world premiere of The long Song, a new adaptation by
Suhayla El-Bushra based on the novel by Andrea Levy. This had originally been scheduled for the
Minerva Theatre but was moved to the Festival Theatre to allow for continued Social distancing and
to take advantage of the larger Festival Theatre stage. This production enabled us to deliver on our
commitment to present at least one new commission in 2021122 despite Covid-19.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE - 31 MARCH 2022
The CFYfs Christmas production of Pinocchio retumed to the Festival Theatre, allowing 68 cast
members to perform for a full run after just IS live performances in 2020.
With the support of a further confirmed grantof £348,261 from CRF 3, we were able to proceed with
our production af Doubt by John Patrick Shanley. which we had had to previously cancel from Spring
2021 due to ongoing lockdowns. We had wanted to bring this production to Chichester audiences,
and It opened to strong acclaim in late January scheduled as part of our Winter season. We lost fNe
performances in February due to a cast member isolating from Covid-19 our first loss of any full
performance to Covid-19 - but were able to extend the run for a further week into our dark period to
allow all bookers to See the production before the close of our Winter season.
Winter 2021/22
We were pleased to assemble a varied Winter season in both houses of over 30 different productions
runnlng from November 2021 to March 2022. wtth a focus on maintaining quality alld variety. Event5
ranged from the popular Christma5 concerts, established touring musicalslplays, ballet, comedy,
drama and family-friendly performances. all of which proved popular ané were delivered without
cancellation due to Covid-19 issues.
In order to boost ticket sales and to advertise a slightly revised winter schedLJle. we reissued our
Winter brochure at the end of December and ahead of announcing Fesiival 2022, we also included
the flrst two productions of Festival 2022, The fuxidermisys Daughter, carried over from Festival 2020
and Cur Generution la co-production with the National Theatre).
DigitGI and Other
The impact of Covid-19 from the first lockdowns in March 2020 thrust the wider theatre industry and
CFT into upskillinE fast in a digital world. both internally. in terms of using technology and other digital
mediums to work from home. and extemally as we transferred our on-and-off stage activities online
where possible and worked to share live theatre either through live streaming or digital transmission
from our archives.
Building on this, ill 2021-22. a key deliverable for was to advance our digital objectives with
strategy to use digital content to enhance the audience experien￿, alongside investing In a new team
to build wider access to our work. Thi5 ha5 been achieved through:_
The development of a new Digttal Strategy and Artion Plan led by our newly appointed Creative
Digital Producer and supported by committed investment through designated reserves and
external funding bids to support our digital R&D plan5.
New digital content was created through the agreed filming of South Pacffjc for transmission in
August and September 2021. and a stream of the Festival 2020 produttion, Crove, in May wa5
well-received. We also streamed South Pacific and Pinocchio12020 show) over Christmas 2021.
It has however proved difficult to secure pemiissions from licensors and performers to record

discussions within UK Theatre and Equity to work to maintain streaming as a viable and accepted
form of sharing live theatre and to secure the rights and term5 for future recordings.

matinee performance of South P(Jcific. Minor adjustments were made to the Ilghting and sound
levels and a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere was adopted acr055 our site. 240 audierkce
members attended and we will run more perfomances in the future.
In 2021-22 we made a community commitment to open our foyer and spaces more widely
outside of performances or programmed activities so that becomes a more useful place for
the local community to gather and meet. We completed a project to refurbish our foyer and
relocated our main café to maximise its location overlooking Oaklands Park. In addition, 3 review
of our Catering and Front of HoLJse outlets was carrieé out to help us better meet the
expectations of new and returning patrons post the pandemic.

the Festival, volunteers in a Pen Pals research project to undertake research to uncover the
unique relationship between CFT and Stratford.
WHAT WE DELIVERED.. ATTHE FOREFRONTOFUK THEA TRE
Given the impact of Covid-19, it felt essential that CF[ invested in and did what it could to support the
theatre industry in 2021-22. The very real risk of permanently losing skilled. 5elf-employed individua15
and early career artist5 from the sector has continued thi5 year. and it has already proved harder to
resource our creative teams and maintain our creative pipeline of talent for our Festival season.
Along with supporting freelancers, we formed new partnerships and CD-producing relatlDnships
where possible to create and show work that could tour nationally and internationally. South
Pccific, which will transfer to London in July 2022 before a UK tour is a successful example of this
as was our partnership with the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre on The Beauty Queen of Leenune.
Our Board and Executive have continued to advocate for the Sector to keep its challenges and
priorities in the public eye. by participating in national debate5 and press coverage to promote
the importance of arts and culture in society in the wake of Covid-19.
We were the first theatre in the country to launch a Production Management Apprenticeship in
September 2021. This 15 a brand-new apprentI￿ShIp standard geared either towards a degree
level student looking to specialise or to someone already working the industry looking to change
career path. As noted, we are looking to pioneer further opportunities in 2022-23.

From May 2021, we partnered to pilot a scheme for audiences to carbon-offset their travel at
the point of booking. A total of 5,477 carbon offsetting options were added to ticket purchases,
equating lo 22,170 trees planted and the equivalent of 643 tonnes of carbon off-set. Through
this partnership. staff were also offered the opportunity to offset theircarbon f¢otprint through
an annual salary sacrifice scheme, resulting in a further 1,296 trees planted and the equivalent
of 95 tonne5 of cartjon off-set.
We repla￿d a long-standing theatre tradition of Press Night cards and gifts with paperle55 cards
for the cast and company on each Festival production, and with their approval, we now use the
budget to plant trees in Oaklands Park to mark each show. By year-end, 16 trees had been
ordered and with a full Festival Season in 2022-23, more trees will soon be in place. A further
2,450 trees were planted in place of Press Night cards.
Conscious of the waste generated from on-site Covid-19 testing for staff and companies,

OUR FINANCIAL REVIEW
Whilst many theatres in the industry produced little or no work in 2021-22, CFT determined that it
could act prudently within acceptable levels of risk to mount a reduced Festival 21 and a full Winter
season. Through careful planning, the support of furlough payments and extemal government funding
in addition to the ongoing 5UPPOrt of donatK)n5. available grants and careful cost management, we
set ourselves the challenge of workin8 Within an acceptable level of financial risk and were prepared
to use available cash reseNes to support our programming and committed production costs.
With the uncertain and ongoing impart of Covid-19, CFf therefo￿ worked to financial aims of:
balancing significantfy reduced Box Office income levels (given the redU￿d season. social-
distancing and lower ticket sales). available Government grants and Development income against
strong control of costs and overhead5.'
focusing costs to meet our core and charrtable objertrve of producing live theatre and delivering
productions to the quality standards that Chichester audiences expect.
Set out below is a 3-year comparison with 2019-20, the last full trading year prior to the Covid-19
pandemic, illustrates c￿,5 income challenges, given theatre closures for so much of 2020-21 and in

last unaffected yearl, of which £63,125 was income from streamed sales and £3,954,702 from in-
person attendance. This reflects the late start to the Festival season due to national lockdown,
reduced programming, socially-distanced performances required in Summer 2021, lower levels of
audiences returning to our theatres and the ongoing impact of Covid-19 throughout the year.

Whilst results improved in 2021-22 compared to 2020-21, we note that after the extraordinary levels
of support for our theatre from donors in 2020-21 during the lockdowns and theatre c105ure, as we
reopened our doors with a reduced programme in 2021-22, Friends, membership income inevitably
fell as did corporate sponsorship and those memberships linked to the number of our Festival
productions. It will take time for us to build up the same levels of sponsorship and fundraising Boing
forward.
Given the reduced programme in 2021-22, we were however pleased that our Catering & Front of
House income showed some signs of recovery and this encouraged us to complete the relocation of
our Café and further enhancement of our foyer facilities.
Theatre Tax Relief IThRI is a tax credit that, through our trading subsidiary CFT Productions Limited

20

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE- 31 MARCH 2022
support of ThR on Box Office targets, which we expect will continue to be challenging. This additional
money will enable CFT to:

Make touring our shows a more viable prospect either for CFT or for third parties
Make co-production investment into our shows a more attractive proposition

Despite taking all possible measures, CFT still had to absorb some costs connected to cancelled shows
and a reduced Spring 22 programme.
As in 2020-21, until Festival 21 opened in July, we took mitigating steps including shortening the
contracts of seasonal staff, not employing other planned seasonal staff, renegotiating the costs of
rehearsal rooms paid in advance and reaching settlements on contracts relating to cancelled shows
where possible.
We took other steps to protect our financial position through active management of staffing. All C
permanent staff were furlouEhed to some extent in 2021-22 under the national lob Retention
Scheme, with some staff rotating onloff furlough but we chose to incur staff costs to keep our
programming, community and digital activities going wherever p055ible. All Front of House casual
staff were furloughed and CFT'S catering outlets remained closed by our catering contractor, Caper &
Berry until July 2021. Finally, we stopped all non-urgent capital expenditure, minimized all overhead
expenditure and claimed all available rates, rebates and other support.
In summary, the fact that CFTS financial deficit for 2021-22 wa5 not greater was primarily achieved by
a combination of..

Bonk and Cash
The level of cash held at the bank at the year-end is always boosted by timing given the inclusion of
the pre-paid Box Office and other income for the following season. For Festival 2022, this amounted
to £3,073,157 out of total cash held of £8,257,28712020-21'. £7,766,470, 2019-20.. £8,329,1251.
The level of cash held reflects the working capital requirements of the theatre tOEether with funds
raised for restricted purposes and monies designated by the Trustees for essential projects and
emergencies.
Reserves Policy

position and provide a buffer against both identified and unexpected eventualities as well as enabling
us to address essential capital expenditure and future opportunities that may arise.
Capltol and Revenue Reserves

The future of CFT remains dependent on our ability to survive unpredicted external events and
allocating reserves to new areas of investment to future-proof the organisation, with priorities
already designated in terms of..-
Keeping our heritage buildings and site fit for purpose
Essential renewal of our Minerva Theatre building in order to realise our ambition5 on and
off the stage
Investment in new audiences particularly through widening our digital reach and developing
younger audiences
Environmental sustainability and investment to become carbon-neutral
Our financial plans and reserves policy take account of the requirement to maintain and increase
reserves as the needs and challenges of our charity evolve.
The Trustees have previously identified that significant work and expenditure will be required on the
Minerva Theatre in the next few years, which our reserves could not meet. However, it is clear that
the immediate years ahead are not the time to launch a major capital fundraising project given the
external economic environment and our ongoing focus on reopening our theatres and encouraging
audiences to return.
It remains the Trustees, intention to build up the Buildings and Dilapidations reserve (currently
£4,398,519) to meet the costs of significant repairs and other essential dilapidation works on site
(such as ongoing concrete repair works on the Festival Theatre and to the fabric of the Minerva
Theatre) whilst carrying out a research and feasibility study in 2022123 to assess and underpin our
review of a potential capital project on the Minerya Theatre and the rest of the site.
The Revenue reserves total £7,003,096. This is split between free reseNes l£1,347,3231, reserves
comprising monies given for restricted purposes1£505,6741 and funds designated by the Trustees
for specific projects and ongoing working capital1£5,150,4001. Designated funds allow us to invest in
essential projects to plan for CFT'S future to ensure we continue to meet our charitable objectives
for the people and communitie5 we reach. This includes planned investment to provide space for our
23

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE- 31 MARCH 2022
community, young people and for new artists with audience investment in areas including digital
technology, inclusivity and diversity. Designated fvnds also allow us to cover areas of risk or priority
for the charity and currentty include a Box Office and Covid-19 reseNe provision of £3.3m, nece55arlly
earmarked to offset significant underperfom)ance of expected Box Office or the cancellation of both
an entire production or multiple performances during a production's run.

£1,347,323 of free reserves is equivalent to aboLrt three months, operating costs covering overheads
and production Staffing wages. Thi515 behind the polirytarget set bythe Trustees that we should hold
free reserves of between three and six months of such costs. The intention is, over time and whilst
continuing to deliver on our charitable objectives, to build free reserves up to this target.
The full analysis of Reserves is set out in Note 16.
Prlncipql Finan¢ial Risks
CFfs operations expose us to a variety of financial risks and challenges. We have in place an on8oing
Internal risk management programme with agreed management actions. that is also reviewed by the
Board and presented at every Board meeting. Thi5 identffie5 areas of risk and implements controls
and procedures to limit our exposure in organisational, financial or reputational term5.
Risk l.. Covid-19 R15k
The risk is that there is an ongoing impart of Covid-19 with the consequence that audiences do not
return to pre-pandemic levels. We have seen that whilst our most loyal patrons have returned to our
theatres, a sizeable part of our audience is hesitant to return to theatre-going, that many theatre-
goers are booking less far ahead and are not pre-purchasing as many tickets for our whole Festival
season as has been the case in past years. We are less fearful of our venues closing again, although
we note that new variants could still lead to ksckdowns impacting our ability to generate income.
There is a further impact on other ongoing income streams with direct economic link to CFfs audience
S12es Isuch a5 corporate income. donations. membership income, Front of House and catering).
Furthermore, the ongoing risk of visiting companies or staff catching Covid-19 creates a real risk of
shows being £ancelled with resulting lost income.
Mitigation.. For 2021-22, an additional Covid-19 section to the risk register was maintained by the
Board. Looking ahead, our Executive and Senior Management Team will seek to=_
Strongly manage costs and take advantage of available government support such as and anv
available centrdl funding
Maximise our fundraising efforts. includin8 establishing a le8acy fundraisin8 campaign to secure
income in the medium to long term.
Internally develop detailed plans under various scenarios to accommodate lower audience
numbers and Box Office sales. when forecasting and planning internal budgets
Refocus programming plans to more flexible and some lower cost productions. a5 well a5 working
with co-producers to share costs and dNersify risk. Planning for Festival 22 on this basis was
successfully managed in 2021-22
Delay any commitment to large capital investments or projects bearing high costs e.B. on the
Minerva Theatre until we have greater confidence that sufficient audience number5 will return

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE - 31 MARCH 2022
and a better understanding of the long tem) habits of theatre-golng post Covid-19 and In a dlgltal
hybrid world.
Maintain effectlve operating protocols to manage the risk of Covld-19 breakouts amongst visiting
companie5 and staff.
Risk2.. Box Office Risk
Our ongoing principal financial risk revolves around failu￿ at the Box Office and Its potential adverse
effect on both our financial results and cash flow. This is particularly relevant in a theatre business
where a completely new programme of work 15 embarked upon each year. with costs committed to
our Festival productions ahead of subsequent and unguaranteed Box Office income. We note that Box
Office risk could increase for several possible reasons=_
As noted above, the continued Covid-19 risk that our audiences do not return to theatre-goin8 as
quickly as we might hope
A failure in our programming or a production that leads to a substantial shortfall in Box Office
Income compared to expectation
Another uninsurable pandemic or event happening
Reduced Box Office 5ale5 have numerous adverse effects wtth proportionate reductions in secondary
income Isuch as Catering and Fror¢tof House sales) and lessobviousconsequences including an impa£t
on future sales and reputational damage.
Mitigation.. The Trustees and Executive Team are fully aware of the risk profile of the business and,
together with Senior Management. continue=_
to plan an artistic programme to mitigate and monitor Box Office performance c105ely
to work hard on flrture programming and increased marketing to plan work that will prove popular
with a range of audiences, and to encourage theatre-goer5 to return and regain the habit of
enjoying live theatre once again
to interrogate data to set realistic Box Office targets for 2022-23 that we believe should be
achievable, although we will continue to monitor these carefullv.
To use direct marketin& videos and online communications to reassure our patrons, showcase the
work on our stages and give them every reassurance about our site and Safety measure5 in order
to welcome them back to regular theatre-going.
Rlsk3.. Loss of Funding
CFT is dependent on annual fijnding from both ACE and CDC which totals almost £2 million per annum
to support its programming and innovation. The loss of this funding would limit our ability to present
a varied programme and extend our audience reach. Furthermore, our community work and impart
would undoubtedly be impacted and have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver our
charitable objectives.
Mitigotion.. CFT monitors this financial contribution closely and has submitted in May 2022 a robust
NPO application for funding the four-yeor period 2023-2026. The result of the application will be
known in October 2022.
Risk 4.. Externol Economlc Polltlcol Uncertalntles
Consumer confidence and disposable income may weaken as a result of the econornic climate. rising
inflation and energy costs, the Ukrainian crisis and increasing UK interest rates in response to higher
price5.
Mitigation.. is prepared to take a consemtive and dynamic management approach to costs and
to anticipate trends and changing market conditions. Specifically, this means managing our costs to
match our income. considering our programming of popular and commercial title5, and managing
ticket prices whilst retaining and promoting affordable seats to our 8udience5.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE - 31 MARCH 2022
R15k 5.. L055 of Creotive Talent ond Ri5inq Costs of Resourcing Produrtion5
The loss of talent from the industry is well-documented as large numbers of creattve and technical
workers have left the theatre industry altogether or moved for better paying roles in television
production. This is leading to a Shortage of experienced creatlves. increased competition for talent
and rising wage costs for available freelancers. In addttion, the rising costs of materials and the closure
of some theatre workshops have led to significant hikes in the cost of set builds and production.
Mitig(Jtion.' We are monitoring the situation closely and have taken steps to create more attractive
benefits packages to attract staff to C￿, which involves addressing accommodation i55ue5, creating
training opportunities, planning hjrther in advance to Secure 5ea50nal staff and considering ways in
which we can retain their services e.g. during parts of the Winter season.
Treasury Monqqement Strategy
The Treasury Management Strategy for CFf covering both investments and borrowing is approved
each financial year by our Finance and Audit Committee. The Trustee5 Stipulate that funds a
invested prudently and, as a priority, have regard to the security and liquidity of the c￿,5 investments
rather than seeking the highest rate of return.
Going Concern
The Trustees believe that the organisation is well pla￿d to manage its business ris￿ successfully and
have a reasonable expectation that. alongside their strategy for handling the impart of the Covid-19
pandemic, the Group has adequate resources and cash to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. However, we have previous￿ flagged the potential stgnificant capital
requirement5 for the coming years. in particular the costs of a Minerva Theatre renewal, and the fact
that our reserves, whilst stron& are largely restricted and designated and, because they are tied up in
property and other assets. not fvlly covered by liquid fund5.
The Going Concern accounting policy is outlined in detail in xhedule Ilxvil of the notes to the
accounts.
OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR 2022-23: WHAT WE PLAN TO DO?
Throughout 2021-22 we have introduced the ACE Lev5 Create Outcome5 and Investment Principles to
our Board, rtaff and stakeholders using them to inform our business planning proce55 and aliEn our
Vision, Mission and Values. The strategic objertives of our one year 2022-23 business plan are as set

2022 which comprise the Consolidated Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidated Statement
of Flnancial Activities, The Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow
Statement, and notes to the financial statements, induding a Summary of significant accounting
policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law
and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. including Financial Reporting standard 102 The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice}.
In our opinion, the financial statements=
give a true and fair view of the state of the group and parent charttable companvs affairs as
at 31 March 2021 and of the group's net movement in funds. Including the income and
expenditure, for the year then ended:
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kin8dom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice,. an(i
have been prepared in accordance wtth the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for oplnion
We conducted our audlt in accordance wfth Intemational Standards on Auditing {UKI IISAS IUKII and

responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of
the charitshle company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant tr) our audit of
the financial Statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions ￿latIng to going con¢ern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees. use of the going concern
ba515 of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfonned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that. individually or collectivety. may cast significant doubt on the charitable
company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the
Inancial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with re5pert to going concern aredescribed
in the relevant sections of thi5 report.
Other Informatlon
The trustees are responsible ft)r the other information. The other information comprise5 the

the other information and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE - 31 MARCH 2022
In connection with our audlt of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomiation is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtsined in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material mi5statement5, we are
required to determine whether there is a material mi$5tatement in the financlal statements or a
material misstatement of the other infomiation. If. based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infom)ation, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in thi5 regard.
Opinion5 on other matters pres(yibed by the Companies Act 21J)6
In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Trustees, Report (which includes the strategic report and the
directorg report prepared for the purposes of company lawl for the financial year for which
the financial ststements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and
the strategic report and the directors. report included within the Tru5tee5' Report have been
prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material mi55tatements in the Tnjstees,
Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors, report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act
2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accournting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or
retums adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by usl,. or
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting
records and return5: or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made,. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
Responsibilities of trustees forthe financial sLitements
As explained more fully in the trustee< responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the
directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair vieihl, and
for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparlng the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assesslng the charltable
company's ability to continue as a going concern. disdosing, as applicable, matter5 related to going
concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate
the charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditorf5 responsibilitles for the audit of the financial Statements
Our objective5 are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs ￿Port
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an Budit condurted in accordan￿ with ISAS IUKI will alway5 detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggre8ate, they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the economlc decisions of users taken
on the bas15 of these financial statements.

CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE- 31 MARCH 2022
Irregularities, Ineluding fraud, are instan￿5 of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilitie5, Outlined above, to detect material misstatements in
respect of Irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which Dur procedure5 are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charttable company and the environment in which it operates, we
identified that the princlpal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the
Companies Act 2IX)6 and the Charities Acl 2011 and we considered the eKLent to which non-
compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered otherfactors
such a5 income tax. payroll tax and sales tax.
We evaluated managemenys incentwes and opportunitles forfraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements lincluding the risk of override of controls), and concluded that the risk was low. Audit
procedures performed by the engagement team included-
Oiscusslons with management including conslderation of known or suspected instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud:
Evaluating managemenvs controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities,.
Identifying and testing joumals, in particular journal entries posted with unLtsual account
combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions,. and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accountlng
estimates
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detert all irregularities.
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non<ompliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compllance with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likety to become aware
of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud
rather than error as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.o
