Trinity Hall's 675 Anniversary Campaign Launch
Bringing Legacy to Life: A Prestige AV Delivery for Trinity Hall’s 675th Anniversary Campaign
In summer 2025, Graymatter Video, part of the iMAG family, was appointed by Events Unlimited to deliver the technical production for a prestigious and historic event — the official launch of Trinity Hall’s 675th Anniversary Campaign.
As one of the University of Cambridge’s oldest colleges, Trinity Hall has played a vital role in shaping generations of academic excellence. This event marked the launch of a bold £50 million fundraising campaign under the theme Believe – Belong – Become, with the goal of supporting future students and securing the College’s next chapter.
The event was hosted in the heart of the College, welcoming esteemed alumni, benefactors and leading figures from the academic and philanthropic communities. Graymatter’s brief was to bring the campaign narrative to life through an immersive and elegant AV experience that matched the significance of the occasion.
The Challenge:
Delivering a technical solution of the highest standard within such a historic and architecturally sensitive environment required meticulous planning and an expert, light-touch approach.
The event spanned multiple areas of the College, including the iconic dining hall and the North and Front Courts. All visual and audio elements had to be designed to integrate seamlessly within these spaces, without compromising the heritage surroundings or disrupting the guest experience. This was not a spectacle for spectacle’s sake. The production needed to support the campaign’s emotional impact while demonstrating complete respect for the space, the guests, and the story being told.
The Solution
Working in close collaboration with Events Unlimited, we developed a fully integrated AV solution that delivered both creative impact and refined execution.
The dining hall was transformed into an immersive space using projection mapping, with bespoke animated content, created by innovative creative studio
NOVAK, illuminating its historic ceiling. This approach brought depth and movement to the space while honouring its architectural detail. Lighting across the North and Front Courts was designed to enhance the College’s character and guide guests through the journey of the evening. Every fixture and placement was selected to achieve atmosphere without intrusion. Audio was delivered with clarity and control, ensuring speeches and music carried with warmth and precision across all areas. Every element was installed and operated with discretion, precision and sensitivity to the setting.
The Result
The result was a seamless, high-end event experience that reflected the ambition, history and heart of Trinity Hall. From the moment guests arrived, the College was brought to life in a way that felt both contemporary and respectful — a setting in which the campaign message could truly resonate. The AV delivery supported every emotional beat of the evening, elevating the content and creating lasting impact without ever overpowering the moment. The result was a seamless, high-end event experience that reflected the ambition, history and heart of Trinity Hall. It was a proud demonstration of how technology, storytelling and space can come together to shape a powerful and prestigious experience.
