AV & COMMS DELIVERY AT RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
The annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a celebration of all things green, drawing passionate horticulturists and enthusiastic crowds from across the globe. This year, LCI Productions returned to this prestigious event, providing a comprehensive suite of AV solutions that enhanced the experience for visitors and organisers alike.
Elevating Conference Suites:
LCI designed and installed complete AV setups for two conference suites across the week-long event. Each suite offered a versatile layout, easily transforming between banquet, cabaret, theatre and boardroom configurations for presentations, judging rounds and discussions.
The main conference suite, a spacious 30 metres by 15 metres, boasted two large 65-inch Samsung LED display screens flanking the stage. Strategically placed 55-inch LED displays provided excellent visibility throughout the room, ensuring unobstructed access to information for all attendees.
LCI meticulously managed the audio experience with a system of eight EV SX100 speakers powered by a Crown amplifier. Dual laptops controlled the system, feeding through a Scarlett audio recording system for presenters. This functionality allowed presenters to record presentations for later use.
Bringing the Music to Life:
The bandstand played host to a vibrant line-up of musicians, filling the air with a mix of original contemporary music, jazz covers and traditional big band sounds. LCI managed the entire bandstand production, providing a seamlessly integrated sound and lighting system that delivered an exceptional experience for guests.
Creating the “Wow” Factor:
For the highly anticipated “RHS Chelsea Late” event at Ranelagh Gardens, LCI Productions designed a bespoke lighting and laser show synchronised to play in tandem with BBC’s Jo Whiley’s DJ set to finish the off evening.
The setup featured two AT-30 30W lasers operating concurrently with three E-stops, all controlled via a dedicated laser control server and iPad. The lighting system comprised five powerful 600W moving lights, 24 LED pixel bar lights and 24 LED Par 7 lights, controlled through a lighting desk connected to a laptop interface. This combination produced stunning visual effects that perfectly complemented the musical performances.

A Smaller Suite, Stellar Results:
The smaller conference suite, measuring 12.5 metres by 12.5 metres, mirrored the layout of the main suite with two 55-inch LED displays flanking a shorter stage. Despite the reduced size, LCI’s AV expertise ensured a seamless and high-quality production experience.
Throughout the event, LCI Productions’ commitment to meticulous planning and flawless execution was in full bloom and played a crucial role in enhancing the RHS Chelsea Flower Show experience for both guests and the organisers.
