Garsington Opera House at High Wycombe was founded in 1989 by the late Leonard Ingrams and his wife Rosalind at Garsington Manor, near Oxford. They offer artistic performances within the spectacular Opera Pavilion on the estate. The site has undergone extensive renovation and some construction works to enable it to better support its performance while retaining the history.
The client required a discreet, yet efficient system with an equal focus on customer experience, alongside security. Being based in the grounds of an estate, the team faced some additional challenge of sympathetic installation, ensuring the technology does not detract from the beauty of the location.
This install progressed smoothly, aligning the safety and security of this stunning building with the needs of the business. Audiences will be able to enjoy opera at Wormsley, for decades to come.
Frocester Security is pleased to have devised and installed systems including:
- access and intruder control hardware and software for all access points
- training for all staff to support secure customer access
- 24/7 CCTV coverage
- fire protection systems – including installation, monitoring and maintenance.
Iain Hompstead, Director for Frocester Security comments:
