VENUE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Colchester Arts Centre is a versatile arts venue, showing anything from Little Red Riding Hood to Obituary, Blur to local queer cabaret, powerful spoken word to hypnotising visual media, all within the walls of a Church backdating to 1206! Our space is capable of many orientations with a maximum standing capacity of 400. Our technical team is made up of two full time members, our Technical and Production Manager and Deputy Technical and Production Manager, backed up by a team of dedicated casual and freelance technicians. We home grow and work on our own projects and productions as well as being a regular receiving house. In 2021 we underwent major refurbishment, installing a brand-new state of the art sound and lighting systems, as well as building on our existing stock of equipment.
See below our main Technical Specification, which contains all the information you could need when bringing a show to our venue. See also drawings of the space.
