Brockwood Festival

Brockwood Festival is an Independent Music Festival that provides a platform for some of the UK’s most exciting up and coming artists, as well as some of the more recognisable names in the UK dance music festival scene. Not just a music festival, Brockwood pledges 20% of their profit to MIND charity, to combat loneliness and mental health issues in recognition of the problems people face that have been intensified by the pandemic. 

Luminaire has been collaborating with the Brockwood team for four years, consistently delivering exceptional experiences. This year marked the third festival, which has been growing year on year. In 2024, we faced a unique challenge: a venue change just 2.5 weeks before the festival gates opened. 

With only 17 days to plan and build, our team transformed Bygrave Woods into an immersive festival wonderland. Luminaire handled every aspect of the setup, including staging, lighting, audio, power, and distribution. Over this intense 17-day period, we constructed the main stage and brought the entire festival to life, showcasing our ability to adapt and excel under pressure. 

With a new location comes new challenges, one of the main challenges for the 2024 Brockwood Festival was ensuring there was no sound overspill between the three closely situated stages while maintaining the festival’s renowned audio quality at its new home. Our team meticulously set up and tested the D&B systems to ensure the highest sound quality and autonomous control across each stage for the entire weekend. This dedication allowed us to deliver an exceptional audio experience, upholding Brockwood’s high standards in its new setting. 

With sustainability in mind, we worked to efficiently plan the power requirements for the site and therefore ran the entire event on 3 generators. This was a significant reduction on previous years and encourages further planning for all sites to become more energy efficient and to ensure we do not over generate power. As we look forward to future festivals, Luminaire remains committed to pushing boundaries of what is possible, ensuring that each event is better than the last. 

We are proud to be part of the Brockwood Festival’s journey, contributing to its growth and success, and supporting its incredible cause supporting MIND charity. Together, we will continue to create unforgettable experiences for festival-goers, while making a positive impact on the community.
