Hexham’s Queen’s Hall will be boosted when welcoming back visitors later this year with the addition of new LED lighting. The new strips - located on the outside of the building on Beaumont Street - have replaced the older, less energy efficient lights that were previously installed. “These new lights should be a lot easier for us to manage,” said Queen Hall’s Artistic Director Katy Taylor. “They’ve been installed using funding we’ve received from Arts Council Funding as part of the Covid recovery fund and we thought it was a great idea to modernise our lights outside of the building.
