  • Provide all AV and broadcast equipment including LED video wall, audio, lighting, and full show control for the event.
  • Full production management and AV crew across pre-production, build, show, and de-rig, ensuring the event ran smoothly from start to finish.

Hire Frequencies delivered a flawless production across the seven-day Chalke History Festival. With temperatures reaching almost 36 degrees, our team of audio, video, lighting, and broadcast technicians never missed a beat. Large-scale productions like Chalke give our team the opportunity to spread our wings and show just how much our people and equipment can do.


With over 23 tonnes of equipment required for the event, it wasn’t just the on-site team who had to perform. Behind the scenes, our in-house logistics and warehouse team ensured both articulated trucks arrived on site on schedule, with every last piece of equipment tested and in perfect working order before the festival began.


We’re proud to say the team delivered across every build and show day. Hire Frequencies is unique in its ability to provide all equipment and sce nic fabrication in house, without the need for sub-hire or external providers. This allows us to offer our clients consistent production value without the inflated costs so often associated with large-scale festival productions. We look forward to working with the Chalke History team again in 2027 — another fantastic event for all who attended.
