And that’s a wrap for 2024 👏👏👏
Our @cr_uk event season has come to an end in Rowntree Park, York.
This year we have produced the PA and stage on 20 Race For life, Pretty Muddy and Shine events across Yorkshire.
It was nice to finish it all with @theyorkmix and Victoria Charles on stage.
2025 will be our 15th year working with the charity.
Glowsticks galore! ✨ Well done to everyone who took part in last night’s Midnight Glow Walk for @mysaintmichaels Hospice in Harrogate 💫
What a brilliant night! We provided the stage, PA, and start/finish arch (with lights!)
It was also a pleasure to work with @yourharrogate and the ever professional Alex B Cann on presenting duties!

Let`s talk stage branding for a minute 💡
We`ve started insisting on consulting and supplying stage branding/banners when we hire out our stages.
There`s nothing worse than:
❌ putting all that man-power in to erecting a stage and having a client put badly designed, poor quality branding up;
❌ telling a client they can`t hang their banners because they`ve ordered the wrong material (even after being given the correct specs).
We actually didn`t consult with York LGBT Pride on their banner designs. They just got it right, from the design to the material used. The main stage looked so great, we now insist all our clients follow their example!
Here`s how to get it right:
✅ Discuss with you PA/AV company where they plan to stack PA and equipment. Ground stacked PA (like in the video here) is likely to sit in front of the PA wings or skirt/valance. Make sure your graphic designer knows the safe areas for branding.
✅ Keep it simple and BIG. Just because the banners are big, that absolutely does NOT mean you should fill it with as much info as possible. A good graphic designer will know the limits and will hopefully talk you out of putting unnecessary clutter on there!
✅ Got sponsors? Try to limit the amount of stage sponsorship packages you sell so that you`re not filling the banners with small logos. Exclusivity is much more valuable to your sponsors - and will look SO much better and impactful.
✅ The material needs to be wind and sound permeable. Wing banners and back scrims must be mesh, otherwise you`re turning our stage into a very expensive kite! We often fly PA behind the banners too, so the material needs to let the sound through. We will refuse PVC banners.
✅ Consider how your stage looks from the back of the crowd. Keep the logos and information you want seen as high as possible. If you`re expecting a big audience, then consider ditching the idea of a front valance or front barrier branding to save budget - they just don`t get seen!
This is what going above and beyond looks like 🤣

What a whirlwind summer of events! 💫
It’s been an extremely busy summer, but there’s no rest for the wicked as we start prepping for Autumn/Winter events. Lots in the diary, from charity participation events to balls, awards ceremonies, Christmas Lights Switch-On events, and some event management to boot!

Thank you @yorkproms 🎶 what a spectacular night!
Well that was nearly a 24hr stint for our crew, building two stages (10m & 7m), triple ES @kv2.audio system, 56 light fixtures and what felt like 5km of cable runs! All put up, run, and de-rigged in 23hours.
And stunning work from our friends @real_time_events who expertly covered the event with a live feed to the big screen - we can’t wait to see all that footage.
