🌈 JOSEPH IS COMING TO CHATHAM! 🌈

Yesterday the S A Events team were at The Central and Brook Theatres , , installing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for GDS Productions

S A Events have worked closely with GDS to create the entire production design for the show, with our in-house designer Dan Stratford developing the concept since February to create a design that really brings the stage — and this incredible musical — to life.

From the initial design through to installation, S A Events are providing the complete technical solution, including:

- Production Design & Management
- Lighting Design, Pre Programming & Equipment Hire
- Audio Design, Engineering & Equipment Hire
- Rigging
- Staging

It’s been a huge project behind the scenes and we’ve been looking forward to finally sharing what we’ve been working on.

This is only a first look… plenty more photos to follow soon! 👀

🎉 **Festival Season is Here!** 🌟

We were thrilled to be back with Gravesham Borough Council for this year’s annual Gravesend Riverside Festival! For the third consecutive year, we’re proud to provide complete production services to make this event unforgettable.

This year’s lineup was fantastic, with the incredible headlining the day!Grooving the day away to fantastic bands like Sound of the Lioness, an Amy Winehouse tribute featuring members of the original band, and the amazing local sensation Gold, who lit up the stage with their disco hits!

Our team utilized the Event 210a line array, paired with the dLive S7000 at FOH and CL5 on monitors, and we received many comments about the exceptional audio production!

The addition of a video wall in recent years has taken our production levels to new heights, allowing us to create a visually stunning experience for everyone attending.

🌟 **Celebrating Excellence at the LAT Awards!** 🌟

We had the incredible opportunity to partner with the Leigh Academies Trust once again for their annual LAT Awards, hosted at the Strood Academy! 🎉

At SA Events, we were thrilled to provide comprehensive event design, management, and production services to create a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment the guests entered the venue, our goal was to deliver that unforgettable "wow" factor! ✨

Our team worked diligently to transform the space with stunning lighting, drapery, and audio services. Plus, we provided live event streaming so staff across all the academies could join in on the celebration from anywhere!

A huge shoutout to our friends Bottoms Up Mobile Bar who we brought in this year, and was a pleasure to work with the talented team at Candi Entertainment providing top class entertainment throughout the night.

We’re already buzzing with excitement for next year’s event and can’t wait to start planning!

We always strive for the best with everything we do, so for so many reviews to comment is always great to see!

Well done everyone involved!

Christmas just isn’t the same without a trip to Whitley Bay to visit the pantomime at The Playhouse.

🗡️🧚The New Advenutres of Peter Pan! 🧚 🗡️

🎭✨ It's that magical time of year again! We're thrilled to be back at the Playhouse Whitley Bay with our client, Blue Genie Entertainment, for this year's pantomime: “The New Adventures of Peter Pan!”

From the very start, we've been excited to be part of this brand-new production, brainstorming creative ways to sprinkle some extra magic into the show. Our in-house lighting designer and production manager, Dan Stratford, has had the pleasure of working alongside producer Gary Telfer for nearly 20 years, since his first venture into professional Pantomime at just 16.

As always, SA Events has taken the lead in designing and supplying all the technical and production elements.

This year, we supplied fixtures from Prolight Concepts Group, DTS Lighting, Showtec and control from ChamSys MQ500, ensuring a stunning visual experience.

We also supplied sound designers and installed a completely redesigned PA setup featuring a complete set up from Martin Audio Ltd, operated on a Yamaha Professional Audio CL5, all supplied from SA Events.

Each year, our goal is to elevate the production values and enhance all technical aspects of the show. We're proud to say that this year's production has received glowing reviews for its exceptional technical standards and impressive lighting.

A huge thank you to Blue Genie and the Playhouse for another incredible year! We can't wait to return next year for *Beauty & The Beast*! 🥀

Massive thanks to Paul Clapp - Limelight Studios for these incredible pictures!
