LIGHTING UP THE RING AWARDS

Turning the Old Royal Naval College’s Painted Hall and Queen Mary's Undercroft into a stunning venue for The Ring Magazine Awards required precision, expertise, and respect for heritage. Our expert team seamlessly blended modern event production with the venue’s rich history to create a night to remember.

Balancing Tradition with Innovation

The Painted Hall—often called the UK’s ‘Sistine Chapel’—demanded a careful approach. Our specialist team designed lighting, sound, and AV that highlighted the venue’s grandeur while remaining unobtrusive. Every detail was tailored to preserve the hall’s historic integrity while ensuring an engaging experience for guests and a polished live broadcast on DAZN. Bespoke branding, immersive sound, and carefully crafted lighting enhanced both the in-person atmosphere and the broadcast presentation.

A Celebration of Boxing’s Finest

The ceremony brought together boxing’s elite, including Oleksandr Usyk and Gabriela Fundora, to honour the sport’s greatest achievements. Supported by Riyadh Season and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the event welcomed world champions, renowned trainers, and key industry figures. Music entertainment was provided by the band London Grammar, alongside musicians from the London Philharmonic Orchestra, adding an elegant and dynamic atmosphere to the evening.

Our meticulous production ensured that every moment—music, speeches, awards, and tributes—was delivered with clarity and impact, creating a fully immersive experience for attendees.

“Seamlessly blending history with high-end event production is our speciality. Working in such iconic venues is always an honour, and we take great pride in ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly.” Sam Garner, MD Velvet Entertainment

Precision Execution Under Pressure

Working to a tight deadline, we executed a highly complex setup, operation and de-rig, ensuring the venue remained undisturbed outside of the event. Our experience in high-profile productions allowed us to manage the logistics efficiently, delivering exceptional results within a limited timeframe.
