Sound, lighting & event production in Colchester.
Sound, lighting, LED screens and staging for conferences, exhibitions, weddings and civic events in Colchester and north Essex, delivered from our base 43 miles away near Diss.
From a castle to a campus.
Colchester packs a Norman castle, a grand town hall, a modern arts centre and a university campus into one town, so no two events here need the same kit. A lecture-theatre conference wants clear speech and reliable screens; a dinner in a historic hall wants discreet sound and warm light; a trade show wants its stands built on time.
Our base at Roydon is 43 miles away, a little over an hour via the A140 and A12. Delivery is priced by distance and listed in your quote.
Three kinds of work in north Essex.
Conferences and academic events
Lectern and radio mics, projection or LED screens, and an engineer on the desk, for conferences, graduations and lectures.
Exhibitions and trade stands
Ground-supported truss, screens, lighting and power for a stand or a show floor, with the risk assessments and method statements the organiser asks for.
Weddings and civic dinners
Speech systems, evening music and uplighting for heritage rooms, hotels and marquees, set up tidily and taken down without trace.
The venues we plan for.
Colchester's settings run from the ancient to the brand new, and each has its own access and noise rules:
- Colchester Castle and the Baroque town hall, for weddings, dinners and civic events where tidy, discreet rigging matters.
- Firstsite and Charter Hall, for launches, cultural events and larger weddings.
- The University of Essex campus and Wivenhoe House Hotel, for academic conferences, away-days and dinners.
- Marquees, country venues and private homes across north Essex, where we bring the PA, lighting, staging and power the site doesn't provide.
An exhibition stand, built and open on time.
MaestroDMX stand A47, PLASA Show 2026, Olympia London.
At PLASA Show 2026 at Olympia London we were stand contractor for MaestroDMX: a 4m × 2m space-only stand with ground-supported black truss, three screens, a lighting rig for the controller to drive, power, cabling and the full health and safety submission. It passed inspection and opened on time.
Exhibitions, university events and trade days in Colchester need the same discipline. Read the case study or see our conference AV hire page.
Campus deliveries, loading, power and noise.
Can you deliver to the university campus?
Yes. Send us the building, the delivery point and any security or permit steps, and we'll book our arrival with the events or facilities team.
How do you handle loading at the castle and town-centre venues?
We follow the venue's loading instructions and time windows, and use trolleys and floor protection so kit moves without marking floors or walls.
Are there noise limits?
Town-centre and residential venues often have them. Tell us the limit and your finish time, and we'll design the system to stay within both.
What power does an exhibition stand need?
It depends on the screens and lighting. We work out the load, tell you what to order from the organiser, and bring the distribution and cabling for the stand.
