Stage Services


    Welcome to Stage Services

    Stage Services is a Standing Committee of Hallam Union, responsible for the provision of technical services for all Union events and activities.

    We provide the sound, lighting and visuals systems and crew to operate all the equipment for events held at the HUBs, as well as several events outside of HUBs, including all Summer, Freshers and Graduation Balls and Winter Varsity.

    The committee is run by student volunteers, with support from full time staff. Anyone can join, regardless of previous experience, as we provide a full training programme.

    That was the last big event of the 08/09 academic year, but with Freshers Week 2009 only three months away there’s not much time to relax!

    Less than 24 hours to go till the Summer Ball opens, and we’re all packed up & ready to go. We started at midday today, and 9 hours later, all the equipment we need has been taken apart and packed up into cases, sound systems configured and checked. It’s been a long day, but it should make tomorrow easier.

    May 6th, 2009

    Sunday SessionsThe May Day bank holiday weekend brought an old event back to the HUBs – Sunday Sessions. Originally started back in 2001, in the National Centre for Popular Music, but ended up going to several venues, before ending.
