Supporting the Easter Story at Hull Minster

At R & J PA Hire, we take pride in supporting meaningful events that connect communities, and this Easter Good Friday was no exception. We had the privilege of providing PA equipment for the Easter Story outside the iconic Hull Minster (www.hullminster.org), ensuring every word, song and moment was heard clearly by the gathered crowd.

A Celebration of Faith and Community

As people gathered in Hull’s historic square, the atmosphere was filled with reflection and celebration. The retelling of the Easter Story—complete with live narration, music and performances—brought to life the significance of Good Friday in a powerful way. Hull Minster, with its impressive Gothic architecture and centuries‑old history, provided a stunning backdrop. Whether standing at the front or at the edges of the event, attendees could hear every voice with clarity, thanks to the professional sound setup we supplied.

We were particularly moved by the mix of generations in the audience: families with children, young adults and older residents all stood shoulder to shoulder. Volunteers from local churches and community groups handed out programmes and guided participants to their seats. Choirs and soloists filled the air with traditional hymns, while actors re‑enacted scenes from the Passion. Seeing everyone united by a shared story and listening intently to the readings reminded us of the power of live events to foster connection and understanding.

Reliable PA Solutions for Outdoor Events

Providing sound reinforcement for open‑air performances comes with its own challenges. Outdoor acoustics, unpredictable weather and crowd movement demand high‑quality equipment and careful planning. We chose a PA system that could deliver crisp, balanced audio across a wide area without overwhelming those nearest the speakers. Our setup included multiple high‑powered speakers, a digital mixing console and wireless microphones for narrators and musicians.

Our experienced team knows how to position equipment for optimum sound dispersion, taking into account buildings, wind direction and audience layout. Before the event, we worked closely with the organisers to map out the site and test different configurations. During the performance, we had technicians on hand to monitor levels and adjust for changes, such as sudden gusts of wind or shifts in audience size. This ensured that the message of Good Friday reached everyone present, no matter where they stood.
