Technical information
This will give you an idea of the practical aspects of Colourscape shows
but if you would like more details please download
'The Venue needs to Provide' and
'Organising a Colourscape show'.
Set-up A Colourscape needs to be on a non abrasive surface,
so grass is ideal. On harder surfaces an undercover is necessary. Colourscape
is anchored by straps and pegs or by weights. The site is set up over
2 or 3 days (according to the size being used).
Take-down After a show, Colourscape is cleaned and packed over
a period of 2 or 3 days (according to the size used).
Entrance area An entrance canopy covers the box office, the
cloaks and the storage area for visitors shoes.
Team Our experienced team supervise the show, training local
staff when appropriate and ensuring that visitors have a quality experience.
The number in the team varies according to the needs of each show and
the Colourscape used.
Visitors There is a maximum number of people allowed inside
Colourscape at any time. This is managed by the number of colour cloaks,
which people wear to go inside. People usually stay for as long as they
wish. Children need to be accompanied by an adult. There is full wheelchair
access.
Health and Safety Smoking, eating and drinking is not allowed
inside Colourscape. Colourscape has a perfect safety record. The material
used is fire-retardant P.V.C. and the test certificate is available
on request. The team members are trained in safety procedures, the details
of which are kept at front of house. All staff have CRB certificates.
Admission charges The public usually pay to enter Colourscape
and the admission charges are set and retained by the event organisers.
In our regular showing day of six hours, it is possible for up to 1000
visitors to enjoy Colourscape.
Weather Colourscape can be shown in most weather conditions,
usually between April and the end of September in the UK. In very hot
conditions irrigation sprays are used to cool the structure. In the
unusual event of high winds, the Colourscape show would be postponed.
The windbreak which surrounds the structure is sufficient for most windy
days.
Booking Fee This depends on the number of showing days, the
venues location, the number of team members travelling with Colourscape
and other funding/support which may be available.
Colourscape Music Festivals The purpose built sound system,
with hidden loudspeakers, radio microphone system, digital mixers and
computers are PAT certificated and positioned in such a way as to be
safe for public performance. The musicians have a separate entrance
and a stage manager handles get-in and get-outs, If these events are
not appropriate to you, please see our events list and contact either
Cwmni Colourscape or Nettlefold Trust for details and costs.
