Robe UK has supplied M32 Audio and Lighting with a complete new moving light rig for installation for a major upgrade at The Reds Theatre on the site of Butlin’s, Skegness – one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations in Britain’s liveliest seaside resort. The new moving lights include four Robe ColorSpot 250s, six Wash 250s and 6 Scan 575s, chosen for their reliability and great value.

The theatre’s capacity is 2,000 and it entertains up to 3,000 people daily during the peak holiday season, with the lighting rig in constant use. M32’s Adrian Neilly explains that having used Robe fixtures for many club, pub and bar installations, they had no hesitation recommending them for this installation, knowing they would be used heavily, “The build quality is excellent, they are very robust, the price is excellent plus there’s the great service from Robe UK and the 2 year warranty – we couldn’t go wrong” he states. He also thinks Robe easily out-performs any other comparable fixtures currently on the market.

Robe UK made several fixtures available in advance of the deal allowing Neilly to demo them in situ to Butlin’s technical manager Nick Owen, so he could judge hands-on if they were the right fixtures for the job. Once he’d seen them in action, it was an easy decision.

Entertainment is central to the whole Butlin’s ethos, and the Reds Theatre is used for wide gamut of performances. During the season, these are geared towards demanding, high-energy world of children’s live entertainments. Out of season – October to May - the site is popular for adult-orientated breaks including 70s and 80s music weekends, etc, when the facility hosts bands and discos.

It was the first time Nick Owen has used Robe, but it won’t be the last he enthuses, “

The Robes are just so much brighter than our previous moving lights. Obviously we needed a good selection of dynamic effects as well, to cater for the variety of performances staged here”

. There’s also a selection of generic lights and an Avo Pearl console, operated by the Butlin’s in-house tech crew.

Skegness was the original Butlin&apos;s holiday centre opened by Billy Butlin in 1936 on a 200 acre site, with capacity for 1000 people. It served as a naval base during the war, but has always prospered as a holiday destination. The camp’s latest refurbishment was in 1999 when over 1,000 new apartments were added. It now has 7,500 beds and employs 300 full time and 1,000 seasonal staff. It has its own caravan park for over 500 privately owned static vans. One of the original 1936 chalets is now preserved as a Grade 2 listed building.
