LED Video Wall Hire for a Pangbourne College Open Day

AVE Services recently supplied a 3.5m x 2m LED video wall for a school open day at Pangbourne College, installed inside the Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel on site.

For schools, open days are more than a simple tour. They are a chance to make a lasting first impression, welcome prospective families, communicate values clearly and bring the whole school experience to life. Good visual presentation plays a huge part in that.

For this event, the LED video wall provided a bright, high-impact display solution suitable for presentations, welcome content, school videos, event messaging and branded visuals throughout the day.

The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel is one of Pangbourne College’s most recognisable spaces. Installing AV equipment in a setting like this requires a careful, tidy and respectful approach, making sure the technology supports the event without taking away from the venue itself.

Our team supplied and installed a 3.5m x 2m LED video wall, giving the school a large-format display that could be seen clearly by visitors and guests. LED video walls are particularly useful for school events because they offer strong brightness, excellent image clarity and a professional finish without relying on projector throw distance or darkened rooms.

That makes them ideal for busy open day environments where lighting conditions, audience movement and room layout can vary throughout the day.

A school open day often includes a mix of speeches, videos, photography, slides, pupil stories, admissions information and branded messaging. Trying to deliver all of that through a small screen or low-brightness projector can reduce the impact.

A properly specified LED video wall helps schools present information in a more polished and engaging way.

For open days, LED video walls can be used for:

• Welcome presentations from the Head or admissions team.
• School promotional videos and pupil interviews.
• Live or pre-prepared slides.
• Event schedules and wayfinding messages.
• Photos, achievements and house highlights.
• Branding for prospective parents and pupils.
• Sponsor or partner recognition.

Because the screen is modular, the size can be adapted to suit the venue, audience and content. For Pangbourne College, the 3.5m x 2m format offered a strong visual presence while remaining suitable for the indoor setting.

While this installation was for an open day, the same LED video wall hire service is ideal for a wide range of independent school and private school events.

Schools regularly use large-format screens for:

• Open mornings and admissions events.
• Sixth form information evenings.
• Graduation ceremonies.
• Speech days and prize-givings.
• Awards evenings.
• Parent presentations.
• Fundraising dinners.
• Concerts and performing arts events.
• Sports dinners and celebration evenings.
• Alumni events.

A professional LED screen helps create a stronger focal point and gives presenters more flexibility. Whether the event is formal, celebratory or admissions-focused, the display becomes a central part of the experience.

At AVE Services, we understand that school events need to run smoothly. Timings are often tight, the spaces are carefully managed and everything needs to look presentable before parents, pupils, governors and guests arrive.

Our team can support with the full LED video wall hire process, including:

• Screen specification and planning.
• Delivery and installation.
• LED wall build and testing.
• Content input setup.
• On-site technical support where required.
• De-rig after the event.

We can also provide supporting AV equipment such as sound systems, microphones, presentation laptops, staging, lighting and event technicians, depending on what the school needs.

The Pangbourne College open day is a great example of how LED video wall hire can help schools present themselves professionally during key admissions and community events.

For private schools, independent schools, colleges and universities, a high-quality screen setup can make presentations clearer, videos more engaging and events feel more polished from the moment guests walk in.

If your school is planning an open day, graduation, awards evening, presentation or special event, AVE Services can help design and supply the right LED video wall setup for your venue.
