INTRODUCTION
About
About
Aspire Leeds
Aspire Leeds
Built in 1894 as the Yorkshire Penny Bank on the site of the original Leeds Infirmary, Aspire is Leeds’s premier events venue, its Banking Hall featuring a mezzanine, chandeliers, mosaic tiling and antique mirrored pillars, holding up to 700 guests, with colour-controlled lighting already built into the space. The venue sits two minutes’ walk from Leeds railway station.
A former Victorian bank with this much original opulence calls for production that enhances rather than competes with it. Lexa’s approach at Aspire would work with the Banking Hall’s existing colour-controlled lighting, building sound, lighting and staging suited to conferences, exhibitions and celebrations.

Presentation technology would need to sit comfortably against original mosaic tiling and mirrored pillars, keeping content clear without disrupting the room’s character.
Screens and Presentation Technology

With colour-controlled lighting already part of the Banking Hall’s design, Lexa’s approach would extend that existing capability for branding and full events.
Lighting Design for a Victorian Banking Hall

Staging built for the Banking Hall would suit conferences and exhibitions for up to 700 guests, taking advantage of the room’s mezzanine level.
Staging for Conferences and Exhibitions

Lexa’s hybrid streaming approach would connect Aspire’s events to remote delegates.
Hybrid and Live Streaming Capability

Delivering production inside a genuinely opulent Victorian building calls for particular care around its original features.

Client TestimonialS
Successful events are built on strong partnerships. Hear directly from the clients we've worked with, on the collaborative approach, technical expertise and attention to detail behind every one.

Artisan Productions made our company's 50th anniversary event run seamlessly from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, Devon Bennett was attentive, creative, and full of ideas that truly wowed our employees. The set looked fantastic, and nothing was ever too much trouble for Devon and his team. Artisan supplied the staging, lighting, screens, and sound system, all of which worked perfectly for our event. On the night, there was even an unexpected change in the order of awards that I wasn't aware of as the organiser. Impressively, they picked up on it instantly and ensured the correct sting music was played, saving the moment and keeping everything flawless. The professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail shown by Devon and the Artisan Productions team were outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event and will certainly be using their services again in the future.

A huge thank you to Paul and his team for the fantastic job on the stage, lighting, and sound for the Bryan Brothers event at the Riverside Room. Everything was executed seamlessly and looked absolutely stunning, from the clean stage setup to the lighting transitions and crisp audio throughout the evening. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm execution behind the scenes truly elevated the experience for both the audience and the talent. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're grateful for how smoothly everything ran. Looking forward to many more successful collaborations ahead!

Absolutely incredible event AV company.
Artisan created the stage, lighting and sound for our business event and it was just awesome.
The creation, set-up and running of the event was next level and made us look feel and sound work class!
The event is a big marketing piece for us so we led to look slick and have everything working perfectly. And it did.
The stage and lighting were some of the best I’ve spoken on and it was ours!
So grateful for the team who came fresh (sorta) from a huge week included Tussauds and Make Hotel in London.
Professional. High quality. On time. Brilliant .READ MORE

On the day of my event, they provided a seamless service and worked efficiently with the venue. I will definitely use them again.
