The event in a nutshell

Leeds Beckett University celebrated its largest graduation ceremony to date, welcoming 7,000 graduates and 35,000 guests over five days. Held at the university’s Headingley Campus and at First Direct Arena, the event marked the achievements of students across a wide range of degrees.

Delivering an unforgettable experience

Sparq provided full technical production, with every detail meticulously planned and executed. The stage setup featured a striking backdrop, high-quality lighting and crystal-clear audio, delivering an immersive experience for graduates and guests alike. Live streaming, real-time captioning and seamless media feeds ensured accessibility and wide-reaching engagement.

Enhancing the production

Additional enhancements elevated the production further. Extra lighting improved the academic procession and audience coverage, while a dedicated plinth was designed for the Mace to give better camera visibility on the live stream. We also provided a PA system and DJ booth at the Rose Bowl so celebrations continued throughout.

A continued partnership

The graduation was a resounding success, with excellent feedback from the university and attendees. From the precision of the live production to the technical execution of the stream and special effects, Sparq played a key role in bringing the celebrations to life — and plans are already in place to support future ceremonies.
