Executive summary
FY26 revenue rose 4.3% to a record £261.6m, with growth from Canadian centre openings offsetting UK like-for-like pressure from record hot, dry weather.

Outlook and guidance
FY26 Adjusted PBT is expected to grow in line with expectations; analyst consensus ranged from £48.0m to £53.2m, with a mean of £51.0m across eight analysts.
Eight-centre UK and Canada pipeline is expected to expand the estate to 103 during FY27; target remains 130 centres by 2033.
FY27 priorities include new centre openings and customer-facing upgrades, supported by cash generation and confidence in growth opportunities.
