ABOUT DERYNCOCH

We offer a wide range of creative project and event delivery services to the arts and events sectors. Founded in West Wales, the Deryncoch (Welsh for Redbird) team are spread across Wales and England. We love to create experiences big and small in unusual spaces. From bringing 10,000 people to watch a multi-stage, spectacular performance in Bradford city centre, to staging a show for 200 on a swimming pool in Bangor North Wales - indoors, outdoors, theatre, dance, live art, public realm artworks - we’ve done it all. We are experts in production, producing, project management, health and safety and access.  We also offer consultancy services.

We’re a small team with decades of experience between us, and we have an extensive network of trusted associates we bring on board whenever we need to expand capacity. We specialise in working with creative organisations and designers to deliver big, bold creative ambition, while always committing to excellence in audience experience. We approach each new challenge with the same excitement and drive, and love a creative problem to solve.

We can help. Whether you’re clear on exactly which service(s) you need, or you’re right at the beginning of developing your project and need support clarifying your next steps - get in touch. Once we’ve discussed your project requirements we’ll be able to quickly prepare a free quotation.
