Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre opened its doors in 1965. Since 1991 the theatre has created over 151 productions that have toured to 80 different cities. The theatre promotes a mixture of classical and contemporary work staged by both new and established writers. Other events such as ballet, music and comedy also take place at the venue.
The operations team at the theatre were looking to refurbish the bar area, a place for visitors to relax before and after the show and also during intervals. With a busy schedule upcoming, the team were up against a tight deadline to complete before the influx of visitors.
The buyers were looking for comfortable furniture that was durable, affordable and lightweight, as it would be moved around frequently for various functions and meetings. The theatre contacted Trent Furniture to ask for a sample of a chair and sofa before committing to a larger purchase.
“Trent Furniture ticked all the boxes,” comments Dave Palmer, operations director at Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. After seeing what they were hoping for, the team decided to go ahead with a full order that was delivered quickly and within the deadline. “We chose Trent for four reasons: the help and assistance provided, the comfortable furniture, lightweight and easy to move and the competitive price,” explains Dave.
The spacious bar area was completed with 33 Catania chairs, three brown Manhattan sofas, seven brown Portobello tub chairs and eight chrome pyramid tables: two rectangle, three square and three coffee tables. All of which were ideal for the necessary setting and use.
The furniture has added to the newness of the refurbished space and has received many positive comments from patrons saying how much they appreciate and like the new bar area.
We’re pleased that our furniture has helped to improve this historic building.
