We will also have stage lighting and audio equipment but will need to be told/provided with any specific music/audio. Any other staging or performance specific equipment eg; poles, backdrop/set, props etc would need to be provided by the performer/s

We suggest a length of at least a minute and up to roughly 3 minutes per performance. There can be some wiggle room as we are aware some acts that are using songs can sometimes be using tracks that last slightly over.

The stage is a 6m x 3m rectangle and accessed by a 4ft wide ramp that supports light weight vehicles.
