Lancashire Tourism Awards 🌹
Taste Lancashire Producer Awards 🥧

An evening dedicated to celebrating the exceptional offerings in Lancashire, highlighting the amazing venues, delicious produce, and the remarkable large and small businesses within our county. This event showcases the best of what Lancashire has to offer.

Hosted at Winter Gardens & Blackpool Conference And Exhibition Centre the event flowed from the drinks reception with Red Rose Gobo's shining brightly into the main space which looked incredible, with gorgeous floral table centres.

This venue has a huge amount of tech and AV already installed so we collaborated with the in house team to produce this event. Their team looked after all things sound and lights and we linked into their screens to display the graphics for the awards.

We added some extras to bring the event to life such as a Light Box for the stage with a custom printed graphic (which didn't include the date so can be used again, yey!) some sparkly fountains for effect, reception lighting wiht bespoke red rose gobos, glitter lecterns and one very important part that no ones sees...Showcalling.

What is Showcalling? Ask Google and you will get the answer 'Showcalling is the art and science of executing the technical aspects of a production or event in real time'.

For us the most important thing is to keep a cool head and ensure you relay info to the tech team in a timely manner, even when presenters go off scripts or things don't go to plan, someone has to make the decision what to do, what to cue and that falls to the Showcaller.

Luckily this event went very smooth, no last-minute decisions to be made, all thanks to the scrupulous planning from the Marketing Lancashire team led by the wonderful Vikki Harris & Maria Moriarty Eames.

Thank you for trusting us with your production and congratulations to all of the finalists and winners - a night like this definitely makes you proud to be from Lancashire, Katie.
