Vaulting into action at the Goods Yard

The PHPS events team are all set to support two of the first events to be staged in the mightily impressive Vaults at the Goods Yard. This lofty, cathedral-like, protected building has been imaginatively regenerated by Capital and Centric and is the first of their completed projects in North Staffordshire.

And what a venue it will make for the Bamboo Summit on Friday 10 October, which will be the first (of many) events to be held at The Vaults. We are so thrilled to support Brilliant Bamboo with the summit, as we’ve been invested in their success from the outset. They’re an organisation creating projects that use bamboo as a material for growth, imagination and greener futures for people in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire and the planet, and it’s fantastic to be part of an event that’s attracting interest from all over the country. PHPS are well known for taking event challenges in our stride, and have already squeezed past a huge crane, and manually carried the kit down the stairwells, due to a lift malfunction! For this event we’ll be providing all audio visual equipment, connectors, installation of kit, presentation screens, zoom links, internet, and all the skilled technicians to operate kit, to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day – despite there only being plug sockets available in The Vaults at the moment!

We’re no stranger to working with Capital and Centric either, as back in June we worked with them, Appetite and Arts Keele to stage the Art Slam event as Astley Place in Newcastle under Lyme, another of their ambitious regeneration projects.

Hot on the tail of the Bamboo Summit we’ll be springing back into action at The Vaults for the We Are Staffordshire Ambassador event on the 15 October. What a venue to come together and celebrate Stoke’s Centenary and all the positive reasons there are to be proud of the area and explore how Stoke-on-Trent is re-writing its story through regeneration, creativity and community pride.

Three things that mean the world to us at PHPS, and we’re so proud to be involved.
