Hall 1A / Main auditorium<br />
The main auditorium has 850 seats and has been designed with a theatrical look; the stage area has a standard<br />
proscenium arch with forestage lift. The Auditorium houses a full counterweight flying system however the flying<br />
height is reduced. The space is equipped with a full state-of-the-art technical specification for lights, sound and<br />
AV.<br />
The main theatre also has a very good load in area (known as loading bay 1) and can house a 40 ft vehicle or a<br />
7.5 tonne truck. There is also a large goods lift from the load in area to the main stage. The stage is a sprung<br />
maple floor covered in hardboard which is painted black and can be carpeted for an additional cost.<br />
The space also houses many backstage rooms that can be used for dressing rooms or Client offices. There is<br />
also an extensive control room and a follow spot room plus a projector room for front projection.<br />
Hall 1C & 1B / Revolving drums<br />
These can either be used as part of the main auditorium/ Hall one or as a stand alone space. When they are<br />
linked with the main auditorium they provide an additional 250 seats in each drum.<br />
When they stand alone they have their own stage area which is carpeted. There are also four motorised flying<br />
bars in the space above the stage to enable the clients to hang banners and lighting.<br />
Breakout rooms<br />
There are 16 breakout rooms that can be used for many options from catering to conferences. When booked for<br />
conferences there is often an inclusive technical package included with the rental that provides basic conference<br />
sound and vision equipment.<br />
The Multi Purpose Hall<br />
The Multi purpose hall has many configurations which are achieved by using moveable walls. When the hall is<br />
split into its full compliment of six individual rooms these are normally used as smaller breakout rooms or<br />
plenary sessions for conferences. The hall can also be used as a large exhibition space as the space has an<br />
extensive rigging system in the roof. There are also several lighting gantries in the hall. Power can come from<br />
under the floor or from the roof to accommodate most requests.<br />
The hall has a full drape compliment which is black fabric around the hall. This can be drawn back to reveal<br />
daylight or to allow production companies to project lighting onto the walls for events. There is also a permanent<br />
fitted grey carpet. Hall 2 shares its loading bay (known as Loading Bay 2) with the Echo Arena which benefits<br />
from a large loading area and a flat load in.<br />
Our production department will assign a production manager to your event to liaise with you about your technical<br />
aspects and they will endeavour to provide you with all the plans and information that you need. In addition to<br />
this we are happy to provide you with quotes for your event.<br />
Kind Regards,<br />

running in a dedicated RGBHV line which we can supply or recommend you run in a fibre snake (distance<br />
approx 100m) or use SDI.

If the Client fails to pay any sum on the due date then, without limiting any other right or remedy, ACCL may: cancel or suspend provision of<br />
Services and Equipment to the Client under this or any other agreement between the parties; apply any payment made by Client<br />
(notwithstanding any express instruction by Client) towards the discharge of any sums due to ACCL under this or any other agreement between<br />
the parties; and/or charge Client interest (both before and after judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 1 % per month calculated on a<br />
daily basis until payment in full together with all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by ACCL (including legal fees) in recovering<br />
overdue amounts.<br />
ACCL may, at any time before performance, increase the <strong>Production</strong> Charge to reflect any matter apparent on subsequent site survey, any<br />
increase in cost due to any factor beyond the control of ACCL or change or delay caused by the Client. ACCL will provide timely notice to Client<br />
of any such increase. To the extent this Agreement has not been performed (but not otherwise), if Client following consultation with ACCL does<br />
not accept the increase and ACCL does not waive it, Client may cancel this Agreement by written notice given within 5 working days of notice of<br />
increase (but not less than 3 working days prior to commencement of Equipment hire or Services) provided that Client indemnifies ACCL in full<br />
against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by ACCL prior to or as a result of cancellation.<br />
Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue from the date when payment becomes due from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 4%<br />
above the Barclay’s base rate from time to time in force and shall accrue at such a rate after as well as before any judgment until payment is<br />
received by ACCL. ACCL shall further have if it so decides the right to use the provisions under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts<br />
(Interest) Act 1998 and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002.<br />
The Client shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable to ACCL by reason of any dispute or claim by the Client and in the<br />
case of part delivery of the Services the Client shall remain liable to pay the full price of all other Services delivered or available for delivery.<br />
The Client shall have no right of set off, statutory or otherwise.<br />
The Client shall reimburse to ACCL immediately the entire cost of representing any cheque or other instrument delivered to it in payment of any<br />
sum due by the Client.<br />
Any failure to pay on the due date will represent a breach of a contract condition entitling ACCL to rescind the contract for breach of condition<br />
and/or to claim damages.<br />
ACCL shall have the right to withhold payments by reason of dispute and the right to set off in relation to all sums owing.<br />
ACCL accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any equipment or materials of the Client or any third party, which ACCL may agree to<br />
store or transport, and any such equipment or materials shall at all times be at the Client's risk.<br />
Health and Safety<br />
Where a support structure is supplied by the Client, Client shall ensure that the surface, on which the Equipment and structure will be installed,<br />
will be stable under load and that the structure will be fit for the purpose (taking account of prevailing wind speeds) and will comply with all<br />
health and safety and other relevant regulations. Client shall provide ACCL on request with copies of certificates of compliance and structural<br />
engineering calculations verifying adequacy of Client's structure. Equipment dimensions and weights and representational drawings of<br />
structures are available on request from ACCL but are approximate and representational only and do not obviate the need for the Client to<br />
obtain appropriate professional advice.<br />
Client's Undertakings<br />

Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement indemnify ACCL and keep ACCL fully and effectively indemnified against all liabilities whatsoever<br />
arising out of the operation and use of Equipment and any breach by Client of this Agreement (including without limitation loss, damage or injury<br />
caused by any negligent act or omission or wilful misconduct of the Client, its employees, agents or sub-contractors or any claim that any such<br />
use or communication of any material infringes any patent, copyright, trade mark, registered design, design right or other intellectual property<br />
right of any third party) and against all costs, claims, demands, expenses and liabilities incurred by ACCL in connection therewith provided such<br />
indemnity shall not extend to liability for ACCL's negligence.<br />
Exclusion and Limitation of Liability<br />
Client acknowledges that electronic equipment may suffer breakdown or malfunction from time to time without fault and that consequences to<br />
Client of breach of the Agreement by ACCL may be disproportionate to ACCL's <strong>Production</strong> Charges. Therefore, Client agrees that ACCL’s<br />
entire liability to the Client in respect of this Agreement and any breach or negligent act or omission (including liability for acts or omissions of<br />
ACCL's employees, agents and sub-contractors) shall be limited as follows:<br />
except as provided in this Agreement, all conditions, warranties and representations whether implied or otherwise concerning the Services and<br />
Equipment, their state, quality, description, fitness for purpose or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law;<br />
ACCL's liability in respect of each event or series of connected events shall not exceed the total <strong>Production</strong> Charges received by ACCL except<br />
that in the case of recorded material, ACCL's liability shall be limited to the cost of replacing blank media only and in the case of loss of or<br />
damage to physical property caused by ACCL’s negligence, ACCL's liability shall be limited to £1,000,000.<br />
ACCL shall not be liable in contract, tort or otherwise whatsoever for any indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, business opportunity,<br />
goodwill or reputation.<br />
Client shall give ACCL reasonable details of any claim in writing and in the event of Services or Equipment not being fit for purpose, not of<br />
reasonable quality or functionality.<br />
All Equipment agreed to be sold by ACCL is sold “as is” and no warranty is given as to performance, functionality, fitness for purpose or that it is<br />
of reasonable quality, unless otherwise agreed by ACCL in writing. This does not affect your statutory rights.<br />
Nothing herein shall limit or exclude ACCL or the Client’s liability in respect of death or personal injury.<br />
ACCL shall not be bound by any third party guarantee including that of the Client.<br />
ACCL shall not be liable to the Client by reason of any delay or failure in performing ACCL's obligations due to any cause beyond ACCL’s<br />
reasonable control including, without limitation, fire, flood, material adverse weather conditions (when ACCL shall be entitled not to install or, if<br />
installed, may take down all or any of the Equipment), interruption of power supply, war, act of terrorism or civil disturbance, industrial action or<br />
trade dispute or blockade, legal or governmental restriction or embargo (“Force Majeure”). In the event of Force Majeure, if the Equipment has<br />
been installed at the Venue, Client shall be liable to pay the <strong>Production</strong> Charge in full.<br />
Termination<br />

Insolvency Act 1986) or the presentation of a bankruptcy petition; or enters into any arrangement or composition with creditors; or (being a<br />

(if Venue is outside of UK) ACCL's personnel on terms (including insurance premium) to ACCL's satisfaction.<br />
Upon termination, all sums due under this Agreement shall become immediately payable by the Client.<br />
