The Venue, Center Parcs Sherwood Forest
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Sherwood Forest, The Venue at Center Parcs needed an upgrade to reflect its setting: fresh, seamless, and ready to impress. The goal was to transform their conference centre into an inviting, stateof-the-art space where technology feels effortless and events feel elevated.
Stage Electrics were brought in following a successful installation at Woburn Forest, and the brief was ambitious. The AV, lighting and production systems all needed a complete rethink, but usability was the priority. The result is a space that can be fully operated from full consoles, down to local iPad control, offering event teams total control of lighting states, projection, audio and more.
Working closely with Center Parcs, we designed a solution built around flexibility. The space can be split into smaller rooms or used as one large venue, with systems that adapt instantly. Barco ClickShare enables wireless presentations in seconds. Lighting and sound systems are ready for anything from a board meeting to a live performance.
As part of the project, Stage Electrics even supported the recruitment of an in-house AV technician, ensuring every event runs smoothly. Since reopening, The Venue has seen a rise in bookings, glowing client feedback and renewed confidence in its offer.
With immersive technology, intuitive design and a partnership approach, the space now lives up to its surroundings, welcoming guests into the forest with an experience they’ ll want to return to.
