We delivered a comprehensive production build for the UK Open Darts at Butlin’s Minehead Resort, supporting the multi-stage format of the tournament across the venue. Commissioned by the Professional Darts Corporation and Matchroom Media, the installation incorporated presentation platforms, commentary facilities, camera platforms and a network of freestanding and flown truss structures for lighting, screens and cable management. Additional elements included a central stage practice truss, cable trussing, PA points, FOH truss, Studio 36 trussing, stair access, pipe and draping, along with full power and AV distribution, creating a robust and flexible infrastructure to support the tournament from build through to final sessions.

“Tuxford Academy’s Creative Arts Faculty has had the privilege to work in partnership with Trans-sport for the last six years. Over that period they have given their time & expertise most generously. Their support has been focused on assisting us with our annual school production & talent shows, through provision & installation of staging, lighting rigs & sound equipment. Despite their own highly demanding schedule, they always find time for us. I am inspired not only by their professionalism, but also their commitment to organisations like ours. Countless young people in the Tuxford area have enjoyed participation in productions which we could not have staged so ambitiously were it not for such a dedicated team.”
