Benenden Village Hall has a professional lighting system with over 40 lights for creating the perfect lighting effects for your show / performance. Whether it is soft ambient lighting to set the mood for a particular scene or using our various spotlights to highlight performers or parts of the stage we can help. Virtually any colour, or combination of colours, can be used with various moving or static effects that can also be applied.
The lighting desk, located on the main hall balcony area, has a good view of the stage and has additional inputs for playing music or sound effects through the hall’s sound system and to a projector above the stage for projecting images / videos onto the rear of the stage.
A couple of moving head lights have recently been installed to add to the range of effects that can be achieved.
Below is a gallery of some of the effects that can be set up and programmed onto the lighting console.
