About

Escape to Freight Island

Escape to Freight Island

Set within the historic Mayfield Depot, Escape to Freight Island combines six distinctive areas, from The Ticket Hall, with its own stage, giant LED screen and full technical integration, to The Platform, The Terraces and the tropical Plant Room, together holding up to 2,000 guests. The venue’s industrial architecture and multi-space layout give organisers genuine flexibility to move an event between very different settings.

A venue built around six connected but genuinely different spaces calls for production that can move between them seamlessly. Lexa’s approach at Escape to Freight Island would treat The Ticket Hall’s existing stage and LED screen as the centrepiece, building sound, lighting and staging that carry an event smoothly across the site’s full range of settings.

With six distinct areas to cover, Lexa’s approach to sound would need to work across The Ticket Hall’s stage-facing setup and the more intimate Club Container and Plant Room alike.

Sound for a Multi-Space Industrial Venue

With a giant LED screen already built into The Ticket Hall, Lexa’s approach would extend that existing technology, suited to corporate conferences as much as evening events.

Screens and Presentation Technology

The Ticket Hall’s existing mood lighting can already shift from conference to disco, and Lexa’s approach would build on that flexibility, suited to genuinely varied event formats.

Staging built for The Platform and The Ticket Hall would need to suit gala dinners and awards ceremonies as much as full corporate parties.

For conferences reaching audiences beyond the venue, Lexa’s hybrid streaming approach would connect Escape to Freight Island’s events to remote viewers.

Coordinating an event across six genuinely different spaces calls for careful sequencing, which is exactly what Lexa’s production management approach would provide.
