Sound, lighting & event production in Bury St Edmunds.
Sound, lighting, LED screens and staging for weddings, conferences, dinners and concerts in Bury St Edmunds and across West Suffolk, from our base 23 miles away.
Historic rooms, handled carefully.
Bury's best-known venues are old: a Grade I listed assembly room, a medieval guildhall, a cathedral and hotels on Angel Hill. Rooms like that need kit that stands on its own feet, cables that stay out of sight and a crew that works quietly around the building's rules. Out in West Suffolk, the same week can bring a marquee wedding in a field with no power at all.
We're 23 miles away at Roydon, about 40 minutes via the A143. Delivery is priced by distance and shown in your quote.
Sound and light for old buildings and open fields.
Weddings and celebrations
Ceremony mics, speeches that carry, a band or DJ system and uplighting, whether the day is in a country-house hotel or a marquee on a family farm.
Conferences and civic events
Lectern and radio mics, screens or projection, and an engineer at the desk, for AGMs, awards and meetings in the town's historic halls.
Concerts and performances
Clean, even sound for choirs, bands and speech in echoey spaces, and lighting that suits the room rather than fighting it.
We also provide stage hire, speaker hire, DJ equipment and uplighting, plus heater hire for marquees and outdoor areas, hearing loop hire for halls, churches and meetings, and Martyn’s Law comms for venues and events around Bury St Edmunds.
Venues in and around the town.
We've worked at Chadbrook House in Hartest, just south of the town, and at Boxted Hall. In Bury itself, the settings we plan for include:
- The Apex concert hall, for conferences, performances and larger dinners.
- The Grade I listed Athenaeum on Angel Hill and the medieval Guildhall, for balls, dinners and receptions where fixings and cable routes need agreeing in advance.
- St Edmundsbury Cathedral, for concerts and large ceremonies that need discreet rigging and clear speech.
- Country-house and hotel venues such as Ravenwood Hall and the Angel Hotel, plus marquees and village halls across West Suffolk.
Speeches in a marquee at Chadbrook House.
Stage, lectern and PA for speeches at Chadbrook House, Hartest.
At Chadbrook House in Hartest we set up a stage, a lectern and a PA for speeches in a marquee, the kind of job that has to sound clear at the back without deafening the front row.
We also put a discreet PA into the dining room at Boxted Hall for a private dinner. Marquee AV hire · See the photos
Listed buildings, parking and power.
Can you work in listed buildings without fixing anything to them?
Yes. We use freestanding speaker stands, truss on its own feet and cable covers, and we ask the venue for its rules on fixings, haze and load-in before the day.
Where do you unload in the town centre?
Wherever the venue says, usually a service entrance or a short stop at the front door. Tell us about any loading restrictions and we'll time the arrival around them.
Do town-centre venues limit noise?
Some do, especially late at night and near homes. Send the limit and the finish time, and we'll plan a system that sounds right within them.
How do you power a marquee in the countryside?
We check what the site can supply, bring our own distribution and, where there's no mains, coordinate a generator for you.
How is delivery priced?
By distance from Roydon, and it's in your quote before you book. Stage steps come free with every stage.
When will I get a quote?
Within one working day. If the event is close, call 01379 450067.
