Important notes
There is a limited stock of gel available at the venue so incoming companies with specific requirements are requested to supply their own gel.
Any incoming electrical equipment must be PAT tested. Evidence of this may be requested.
Technical riders should arrive at least 3 weeks prior to the event.
Pre-rigs must be arranged with CPS well in advance. The amount the venue is in use causes pre rigging to be a problem unless agreed well in advance
The only extra power supply available in the main venue is 1 x 32 amp ring main (13A wall-mounted sockets). This is the only Temporary power for any touring lighting etc.
The Get In is through two double standard height doors on the flat.
The Venue has a permanently installed dance floor that cannot be taken up
