Pride event production
Main stages, sound, lighting and daylight-bright LED screens for Pride, planned with your committee and run on the day by our own crew.
A main stage worth celebrating
- Pride festivals
- Pride parades & marches
- Town & city Prides
- Pride picnics
- Community stages
- Second stages & tents
Pride is one of the biggest days in a town's calendar, and the main stage is where it all comes together: the speeches, the performers, the headliner and the crowd singing back. We make sure it looks and sounds the part from the first act to the last.
We're Pixel 8 Productions, an event production company in Long Eaton, between Nottingham and Derby. Everything is in-house: our own staging, truss, PA, lighting, LED screens, power and crew. Pride is a big part of our summer: in 2026 we produced the full main stage at Barnsley Pride (staging, line-array PA, lighting and an LED video wall) and supplied the LED screens and live camera feeds for the main stage at Nottingham Pride.
We know Pride committees are often volunteers working to a tight budget, so we keep it simple. One point of contact, a clear itemised quote, a site visit if it helps, and a plan for power, weather and changeovers agreed well before the day. We can look after one stage, a second tent, or the technical side of the whole site.

Barnsley Pride 2026
The whole main stage, start to finish
A 6×3m Prolyte LiteDeck stage with a truss frame, banner wings and an accessible ramp. RCF line-array PA and monitors on a Midas desk, Chauvet beam-washes, LED battens and haze for the evening sets, and an LED video wall behind the acts.
Our crew and a dedicated video operator ran the stage across the weekend, from the first speeches to the headliner.
Barnsley Pride gave our crew a shout-out on the night before: “working tirelessly from 10am yesterday, to ensure every plug is plugged, all the lights are shining and the stage structure is safe.”
Nottingham Pride 2026
Screens the whole crowd could see
Two 3×4m LED screens on truss towers either side of the main stage, plus a 4×3m screen on stage, all bright enough for a sunny July afternoon.
Three cameras with wireless video links put close-ups of every performer on the big screens, so people at the back didn't miss a thing.

How it works
Concept to curtain call
- 01
Listen
We start with your goals, audience, venue and budget, and visit the site with you where possible.
- 02
Design
We plan the lighting, sound, video and staging, then send a clear, itemised quote.
- 03
Build
Our crew handles logistics, rigging, power and programming, so the room is show-ready on time.
- 04
Deliver
Our technicians run the show live, then pack down and leave the venue as we found it.
Can you produce our main stage and a second stage?
Yes. We can look after the main stage, a second stage or tent, or the technical side of the whole site, working with your stage manager, safety team and other contractors.
Are your LED screens bright enough for a daytime event?
Yes. Our Fabulux panels reach 3,500 nits, so videos, sponsor logos and close-ups of the performers stay sharp in full sunshine. We turn them down for evening sets.
Can you work with performers' riders and backing tracks?
Yes. We advance riders with the acts, supply the PA, monitors and mics they need, and our engineers run backing tracks and changeovers so the stage keeps to time.
What happens if the weather turns?
We plan for wind and rain from the start: ballast and secure ground support, protected cabling and power, wind monitoring on the day and a clear plan if conditions change.
When should we book for next summer?
As early as possible. Pride season runs from late May to September, and summer weekends book up first. Get in touch with your date and site, and we'll arrange a visit and a no-obligation quote.
