Immersive Media Design for St George's Guildhall King's Lynn
Authority: Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (the Council) is inviting tenders for an Immersive Experience Designer to assist with shaping the delivery of the St Georges Guildhall & Creative Hub project situated in King’s Lynn. This project will renovate and refurbish a range of buildings including a theatre with national and international significance, creating a new visitor attraction in the town.
The immersive experience will take place inside the refurbished theatre space at St George’s Guildhall. This is a first-floor space with England’s largest scissor brace ceiling, several early 15th century windows, reinstated minstrel’s gallery and audience galleries. The space is as atmospheric as its heritage would suggest.
The immersive experience must draw together the heritage of this unique space with particular attention to the theatrical history of the venue. It must be a visually impactful experience which leaves the visitor in no doubt that they have seen something of significant value and as unique as the venue in which they see it. The immersive experience must be inclusive and exciting using high-tech forward-looking technology to allow the visitor to see the past.
The experience will be approximately 10-15 mins and will be attended by approximately 15 people at a time.
