Where Do We Arrange Concerts?
Performances are equally successful in large cities and in smaller towns and rural areas. In any itinerary, we usually recommend combining a mix of high-profile venues with more intimate community events, so that your client benefits from a diverse range of experiences at each UK destination.
Choirs
Choirs will have the chance to sing at beautifully preserved churches and cathedrals, seeped in hundreds of years of history. Many of the cathedrals host a regular lunchtime concert series which is an ideal way to obtain the permission required to perform within these magnificent buildings.
Some popular venues for choirs are: St Paul's Cathedral (London), Canterbury Cathedral, Chichester Cathedral, St Giles' Cathedral (Edinburgh), St Martin in the Fields (London), the Church of St Agnes and St Anne, (London), Oxford University Church, Bath Abbey. The summer months are ideal for bands, when outdoor concerts can take place in market squares, outdoor festivals and band stands in many of the UK's glorious parks. During the colder months, indoor venues include arts centres, churches & concert halls all over the UK.
Bands
Some popular venues for bands are: Trafalgar Square (London), Regent's Park band stand (London), Kingston Marketplace, Harrow Art's Centre, Parade Gardens (Bath), Edinburgh Castle Hall.
Orchestras
Orchestras usually perform in churches or concert halls, depending upon the group's preferences and budget. When dealing with large instrumental groups, space and acoustics are always carefully considered.
Some popular venues for orchestras are: Edinburgh Castle Hall, St James' Church in Piccadilly (London), Regent's Hall (London), The Forum or The Assembly rooms in Bath, Oxford Town Hall, The Landmark Arts Centre (Teddington), St Paul's Church (Brentford), Durham Cathedral
Dance Groups
Dance groups ranging from ballet, tap, jazz dance through to show choirs, can be catered for. We have good contacts with purpose built venues (with sprung-floors), some of which are located within specialist stage and dance schools. Workshops with dance professionals from some of London's top colleges and dance schools can also be arranged on request. Drama groups are placed in small theatres, often as a double billed performance with a local group, or with a local drama group invited to attend the performance.
With all dance and drama groups we will always ensure that there are adequate green room and warm up facilities available and we can meet most technical requirements that are requested of us in advance of booking the venue.
