Crufts 2026

FTVS delivered lighting design and lighting for the Main Studio and Exhibition Studio, as well as event power, cabling and distribution at the NEC Birmingham.

Across the four day event, our team designed and delivered a complete lighting and power infrastructure tailored to the demands of live television production. Working closely with the production team, the setup ensured presenters, interviews and analysis segments were captured with consistent, broadcast quality illumination while maintaining the vibrant atmosphere of one of the world’s most iconic dog shows.

Crufts 2026 concluded with Bruin the Clumber Spaniel, handled by Lee Cox, being crowned Best in Show, bringing an exciting close to another fantastic year of competition.

From studio presentation segments to live coverage throughout the event, the Main Studio and Exhibition Studio played a key role in bringing Crufts to audiences at home and we’re proud that FTVS’ lighting and power infrastructure helped bring those spaces to life on screen.

A big thank you to all the crew and production teams involved. It’s always a pleasure for FTVS to be part of such a prestigious live broadcast.
