Enter Harp Design, a team renowned for their ability to blend tradition with contemporary aesthetics seamlessly.

Redesigning a space as multifaceted as Chelmsford Theatre is no small feat. The team faced several challenges, including:
Preserving the theatre's historic charm while introducing modern elements.
Enhancing the functionality of the space for performers and audience members alike.

Seating and Comfort: New, plush seating now provides a comfortable and luxurious experience for all attendees. The arrangement has been optimized for better sightlines and accessibility.
Lighting and Acoustics: State-of-the-art lighting and sound systems have been installed, ensuring that every performance is seen and heard in the best possible way. The new acoustic panels not only enhance sound quality but add a sleek, modern look to the interior.
