INTRODUCTION

About

About

SS Great Britain

SS Great Britain

Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and returned to Bristol’s Great Western Dockyard in 1970 after being discovered as a wreck in the Falkland Islands, SS Great Britain offers conferences and celebrations for up to 200 delegates theatre style, 250 for a drinks reception, or 160 for a seated dinner, including the First Class Dining Saloon that Queen Victoria once admired. Hosting an event here directly supports the SS Great Britain Trust, a registered maritime heritage charity.

A genuine Victorian ocean liner calls for production that respects its irreplaceable maritime heritage. Lexa’s approach aboard SS Great Britain would build sound, lighting and staging suited to conferences, gala dinners and summer drinks receptions across the ship’s dockside and dining spaces.

The First Class Dining Saloon’s period proportions call for a PA system designed specifically for that maritime acoustic.

Sound for a Historic Ship's Dining Saloon

Presentation technology aboard the ship would need to sit comfortably against original period features, keeping content clear without disrupting the vessel’s heritage.

With period grandeur throughout the Dining Saloon, lighting design would enhance that heritage while delivering state-of-the-art conference and evening states.
