About

Chelmsford City Council awarded a contract to Auditoria Services Limited for the supply, installation, and maintenance of purpose-made retractable theatre seating at the Cramphorn Theatre.

The contract, valued at £54,000, involved replacing the existing seating system in the studio theatre with a powered retractable system of 5 platforms, including a row of fixed seating on the top platform, totaling 150 seats.

Additionally, 32 free-standing seats were supplied for two rows at the front on the flat floor, fixed to the wall and floor, with an extended platform to the rear row incorporating steps for access.

100 stackable seats were provided for alternative configurations when platforms are retracted.

All seats were fully upholstered.

The installation was completed within critical space restrictions and a specific time slot in September 2015.
