The Company became a registered charity on 13 October 1975. Membership is open to anyone, subject to approval by the Board. All members agree to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of the Company being wound up. All Elected Trustees are Members. ## **Organisation and appointment and training of trustees** The governance of the Eisteddfod is undertaken by the Standing Board, comprising twelve trustees. A trustee may be appointed by ordinary resolution at an Election Member meeting and hold office for a maximum of 6 years, after which they must retire. The Standing Board may appoint a trustee, such a trustee must retire at the next Election of Members meeting and may be nominated by the Standing Board for election or appointed as a Trustee by the Standing Board. Training of trustees is undertaken through 1:1 meetings with staff and the Chairman, and Board away-days. In September 2023 an Executive was established. The role of the Executive is to manage and direct the operations of the Eisteddfod. The membership of the Executive during the financial year was as follows: J Gambles (Executive Chair) D Hennigan (Trustee) Professor C Adams (Eisteddfod Chair) Finance and Operations Manager L Morris (Treasurer) Artistic Director G Calton (Trustee) Chair of Chairs Committees ## **Related parties** The Charity has a close relationship with The Friends of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, a separately registered charity which donates its entire profits to Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. In 2024 the Friends pledged £15,500 to the Eisteddfod. Their continued financial support and fundraising activities during the festival and throughout the year are greatly appreciated. ## **Risk management** The Trustees review the major risks the Charity faces on a continuous basis. The Trustees ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet committed expenditure. Budgets are set at the start of the year and regular budgetary review meetings are held, at which any deviation from budget is considered in detail. ## **Objectives** The objective of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is to promote international harmony and goodwill through the staging of an annual eisteddfod open to competitors from the nations of the world, and thereby to promote education and knowledge of the arts generally to the benefit of the public. Achieving our objective post covid has been extremely challenging. ## **People** The Eisteddfod employs a small team of staff. During the 2023/24 financial year an Artistic Director was contracted on a freelance basis and was responsible for artistic developments, this role reports to the Board. Employees work closely with volunteers throughout the year to deliver the annual event. Volunteers are integral to the delivery of the Eisteddfod’s business and to the festival itself. Functions operated by volunteers include the following: - Organising hospitality and Transport for Overseas visitors Setting up and maintaining floral displays Assisting in the marketing of the Eisteddfod Controlling ticket sales and Ticketing booths Running the Visitor information Centre and selling a range of merchandise Stage management, stewarding and ushering during the festival plus assisting in the music office. Site maintenance, including Health and Safety organisation and control of stall holders. Maintaining an Eisteddfod archive 3 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2024 (continued)** ## **Acheivements and performance** As one of the most respected cultural events in Wales, the Eisteddfod attracts artists, performers, and visitors from across the globe. In a significant development for the 2024 Eisteddfod, the festival entered into a partnership with leading event promoters Cuffe and Taylor. This collaboration enhanced the festival’s scope, improve audience engagement, and broaden its reach. This partnership is expected to deliver a fresh approach to organising and promoting the event, ensuring a more dynamic and memorable experience for all involved. The collaboration between the Eisteddfod and Cuffe and Taylor represents a fusion of tradition with modern event promotion expertise. ## **Details of the Partnership** The collaboration is aimed at: - 1 **Enhancing Programming** : Cuffe & Taylor work alongside the Eisteddfod team to diversify the festival’s entertainment line-up, incorporating both traditional Welsh performances and popular contemporary acts. The festival featured high-profile musical performances curated by Cuffe & Taylor these included Tom Jones, Bryan Adams and Madness along with many other top name acts. Cuffe & Taylor promoted 8 concerts outside of the main Eisteddfod week and 3 during the Eisteddfod. These featured alongside the Eisteddfod’s traditional competitions, showcases and concerts. - 2 **Expanding Reach:** The partnership seeks to attract a broader audience, including younger attendees and international visitors, without compromising the festival's core cultural identity - 3 **Improving Event Logistics:** Leveraging Cuffe & Taylor's expertise, the festival will benefit from streamlined operations, innovative staging, and a more immersive audience experience. The Eisteddfod welcomed over 51,000 spectator visitors to the site, and over 2,400 school children from the local area attended the Children’s Day. Many competitors from across the globe were hosted. S4C broadcasted the Choir of the World competition and an Eisteddfod highlights programme. The Parade of Nations was warmly welcomed and will continue to be a key element of the Eisteddfod in future years. The Kaleidoscope Project performance was featured within the Saturday evening concert programme and was a highlight for many. Overall ticket sales for the core Eisteddfod week evening concerts are shown in the table below. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Financial review** The annual accounts show a net in year surplus of £247,301, however this figure requires some context. A key factor in this positive outcome was the receipt of a bequest and grant funding in advance which significantly influenced the overall financial position. When adjusting for these contributions the event made a modest profit of £5,000, a notable turnaround moving from a loss in 2023 of £216k, signalling a more sustainable financial footing moving forward. While the £5,000 profit is a welcome result after last year’s significant deficit, it’s important to note that the profit was somewhat reliant on external funding. The Eisteddfod’s core financial health will need to continue to improve in future years to ensure long-term stability. In conclusion, while this year’s financial performance represents a recovery, it is essential that the Eisteddfod focuses on broadening its revenue base and controlling costs to build a stronger more resilient financial foundation in the years ahead. The bequest of £235k came from the late Eira Francis Davies. The terms of the bequest require the money to be invested with the interest only to be used to support dance groups. The grant support received from Welsh Government Major events Unit (£90,000) and the Arts Council of Wales (£42k) to support the delivery costs of the festival has enabled the Eisteddfod to continue in circumstances that had seriously threatened its viability. Funding was also received from the Arts Council Wales from the Connect and Flourish fund. This funding supports projects to promote community engagement and increase access to arts and cultural activities across Wales particularly from underrepresented communities. Three groups were supported and attended the 2024 Eisteddfod to perform and take part in the Parade. This initiative will continue in 2025 with 6 groups being commissioned to develop a performance to bring to the Eisteddfod. 4 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2024 (continued)** ## **Reserves Policy** The Charity’s reserves consist of the General Fund, Fair Value Reserve arising from a revaluation freehold land in 2009, and Restricted Funds. Details of these are shown in notes 20, 21 and 22 to the Financial Statements. The Charity’s current level of general reserves is £105,156. This represents the funding available to spend and support core costs of the organisation. In addition to this the Charity has restricted reserves of £303,904, these funds can only be used for the specified purpose. The trustees recognise the importance of maintaining a realistic level of unrestricted reserves to ensure that adequate funds are available to enable the charity to continue in its activities in the event of a drop of funding or a significant setback. The trustees have a general objective that, to safeguard the Eisteddfod reserves should be sufficient to enable the festival to operate for 6 months’ expenditure and the estimated operating costs of the festival. The current level of unrestricted reserves falls well below this target level and reflects the challenging financial position of the Eisteddfod. ## **Plans for future periods** Following the success of the extended Eisteddfod programme the partnership with Cuffe & Taylor will continue for the 2025 with a programme of Live at the Pavilion events held prior to the Eisteddfod. These concerts will feature well known headline artists and will be standing concerts. Looking ahead the Trustees with Denbighshire County Council, are actively exploring new and innovative ways to ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of what is an iconic cultural event. Central to this vision is the development of a year-round program of cultural, artistic, and educational activities at the Eisteddfod’s home, the Pavilion. Traditionally, the Pavilion has served as the centrepiece of the Eisteddfod, hosting an inspiring week of music, dance, and international celebration every summer. However, recognizing the venue’s untapped potential, the Trustees are committed to expanding its use beyond the festival period. By hosting events throughout the year, the Pavilion can become a vibrant hub for creativity, learning, and community engagement. This initiative aims to: **Extend the Reach and Impact of the Eisteddfod:** Offering a diverse range of cultural events to engage audiences locally, nationally, and internationally. **Promote Educational Opportunities:** Providing workshops, performances, and programs that inspire individuals of all ages to connect with the arts. **Ensure Financial and Cultural Sustainability:** Creating new revenue streams and partnerships to support the Eisteddfod's legacy while enriching the cultural fabric of the region. This vision aligns with the Eisteddfod’s core mission of fostering harmony through culture and celebrating the arts as a universal language. The Trustees and Denbighshire County Council are committed to working closely with the community and stakeholders to shape a future where the Pavilion serves as a year-round beacon of creativity and connection. ## **Directors’/Trustees’ responsibilities** United Kingdom Company Law requires the directors, who also act as trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and its incoming resources, and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent Prepare the financial statement on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. ## **Independent Examiners** The current Trustees have made themselves aware of any information needed for the purpose of the independent examination and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information. The Trustees are not aware of any relevant information of which the Independent Examiner is unaware. This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. A resolution proposing that Salisburys and Company Business Solutions Limited be reappointed as Independent Examiners of the company will be put to the Annual General Meeting. .......................................................................................... Allison Davies, Company Secretary Date: 13th February 2025 **For and on behalf of the Board** 5 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Limited (The)** ## **Opinion** We have audited the financial statements of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Limited (The) (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. In our opinion the financial statements: - giveand application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of its incoming resources - haveReporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'; andbeen properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. ## **Basis for opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to 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 relating to going concern** In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, 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 financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this rep ## **Other information** The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. ## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: - theconsistent with the financial statements; andinformation given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is - the Report of the Trustees has 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 misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequatevisited by us; oraccounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; 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; or - - theReport or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic 6 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Report of the Independent Auditors (Continued)** ## **Other matters** We note that the 2023 financial statements were not audited. Consequently ISAs (UK) require the auditor to state that the corresponding figures within these statements are unaudited. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. ## **Responsibilities of trustees** As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, 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 preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. ## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned in accordance with ISA (UK). We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the industry in which it operates through our general commercial and sector experience and discussions with management. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 the 'Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and relevant UK tax legislation. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures within the financial statements such as Health and Safety laws and regulations. We accessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: - Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations - Obtain an understanding of the internal controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud; - Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; - Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies used; - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular manual or unusual entries; - Obtaining third party confirmations of all the companies banking arrangements; - Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; - Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting. The assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagements team's knowledge of the industry in which the client operates in and understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit ..........................................................................................

10 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## _Accounting convention_ The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). ## _Going Concern_ The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The 2022 and 2023 Eisteddfodau resulted in financial losses; attracting audiences back post pandemic has been a challenge. To The directors have reviewed the company’s performance throughout the period and subsequent to the year end and, as a result believe that the preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate. ## _Charitable trading activities_ Income from ticket sales and other sales revenue are included in incoming resources in the accounting period in which the Eisteddfod takes place. ## _Valuation of fixed assets_ All fixed assets with the exception of land are valued at cost. Land is re-valued periodically by the Trustees and any change in market value is accounted for via the unrealised fair value reserve. ## _Stocks_ Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal. ## _General Reserves_ Of the general reserves fund there are £99,275 of Non Distributable funds which have arisen from the fair valuation of land owned by the Eisteddfod. ## _Donations, legacies and other voluntary income_ Donations, legacies and any other form of voluntary income or benefit to the Charity are recognised within the statement of financial activities in the year to which the income or benefit relates. ## _Grants_ Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance, have been recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the grant. This treatment is in line with the Charity SORP and the charity’s accounting policy. ## _Restricted and unrestricted funds_ Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the object of the Charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. 11 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 (Continued)** ## **1 Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ ## _Resources expended_ Expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and is reported gross of related income on the following basis: Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Charitable activities include expenditure associated with site maintenance, the staging of concerts, competitors’ welfare and commercial activities in relation to the Eisteddfod. Governance costs relate to aaccountancy and independent examination fees incurred. Other resources expended relate to irrecoverable VAT written off, which arises due to the company operating a Partial Exemption Scheme. ## _Expenditure allocation and apportionment_ Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost related directly to that activity. In instances where resources expended relate to more than one activity, funds are apportioned Commercial 70%, Site 15% and Music and Staging 15%, with the exception of salaries and associated costs where the apportionment relates to the time spent by each member of staff in any activity. ## _Volunteers and donated services_ Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the Charity. Donated services and facilities are analysed in note 4. The value of services provided by volunteers is not recognised in these financial statements. ## _Depreciation_ Depreciation has been provided on all tangible fixed assets, except land, at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset evenly over its estimated useful economic life, as follows: Property Improvements and fixtures & Fittings Computer Hardware 20% on cost 20% / 50% on cost ## _Pension costs_ Pension costs are charged to the profit and loss account on the basis of the amounts of contributions payable to the defined contribution pension schemes in respect of the accounting period. ## _Irrecoverable VAT_ Income and expenditure is included in the accounts net of VAT. The cost relating to irrecoverable VAT is charged as a single cost to the SOFA. ## _Foreign Expenditure_ Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are included within the SOFA. ## _Leased assets_ Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (finance leases), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to the profit and loss account. Lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components. The interest element of the payment is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. The capital part reduces the amounts payable to the lessor. All other leases are treated as operating leases. Their annual rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 12 LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD (THE) (a company limited by guarantee) ## **Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 (Continued)** ## **2.
