Technical Information
Sound
A basic announcement PA is available, with additional portable systems available on request.
Lighting
General lighting is by exhibition-grade, metal halide floodlights over the entire hall. Additional tungsten dimmers are available for other types of event. Stage lighting in the form of CP62 Parcans is controlled by a MA Lighting Dot2 desk using DMX control with 48 2000w dimmers, distributed over the central mother grid.
Stage
The Purbeck Hall is provided with a standard stage 9.75m x 4.87m (32ft x 16ft), which can be expanded for an extra charge to create a space 14.76m x 7.38m (48ft x 28ft).
Production
Our technical team will work with you to build a bespoke, technical package to make sure your event runs to plan. We have a stock of equipment that we can use to create a full production package.
Operational Support
Our technical, stage and operations teams are here to complement your own and it’s important that they work together from the start — and that our team sees and signs off the final arrangements. Full plans and technical specifications are available as PDFs from your Event Coordinator. All rigging must be carried out by NRC certified staff.
