Trifle Anyone?

Oxfords South Parks will be hosting Foodies Festival over bank holiday weekend. Sample dishes from local restaurants and buy fresh produce from Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. Michelin star chefs will be cooking live in the Chefs Theatre.

On top of these delicious delights Matt Dawson is due to make an appearance for the filming of Monster Munchies - a television series celebrating traditional British food by creating them in super size. A Startech stage will be supporting two giant trifles, which apparently originated in our city of dreaming spires. Local teams will battle for recognition of their superior trifle talents.

The wedding season is upon us.

Startech designed, installed and operated lighting for a wedding at the Oxford Town Hall this weekend. Theatrical lighting was applied to highlight the interior architecture of the building. Source fours were employed to project a custom designed gobo onto the dance floor and to create a starry night effect.
