There are two black fly curtains to each side.
There is a rear curtain rail for back scenes which will have an optional black curtain hung which can be requested to be drawn for performance
During the Festival, the sides of the stage have additional inserts so that entrances from the wings are on the level
Lighting
Range of LED PARs, LD PAR Zooms, LED Bars and Strand incandescent white profiles. See diagram for more details including DMX addressing and channel settings.
Lights are operated by means of Laptop and DMX interface (Enttec DMX USB Pro Mk2). A laptop with QLC+ software will be provided for use by groups and assistance can be provided with prior agreement. Alternatively groups can provide their own laptop with or without interface to connect to the 5 pin DMX cabling directly.
A sample QLC+ file can be downloaded here for use by groups to see the general approach. Information provided in advance of the tech day will be used to pre-set the tech for the day and adjustments for individual groups will be actioned then.
Further information regarding the lighting technical setup is available by contacting the Technical Director through the contact page of this website.
Sound

You can plug directly into the amplifier although you are advised to plug into the mixing desk and use that with the amplifier. 6.35mm jack leads are supplied to connect mixer to amplifier, and a 3.5mm stereo jack to twin phono adapter is available. If your sound source outputs to twin mono 6.35mm jacks please bring your own jacks.

There is no projector screen but the back of the stage is white and will present a reasonable image, with shadows from any objects or cast on stage. An HDMI cable serving the projector is in place. The projector is focused to cast on the back wall and cannot be refocused during the festival.
