Theatre Prop Hire — Lancashire & the North West
Stage props for hire across the UK — period furniture, weapons, books, telephones, suitcases, lanterns and specialist set dressings. Curated and maintained from our Blackpool workshop for theatre, dance, schools, touring shows and themed events.
Stage props for every production
Whether you need a single hero prop or a full pre-set wardrobe of stage dressing, our prop hire department supplies productions across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Cumbria, Yorkshire, and the wider North West. We work to designer’s reference, period accuracy, and tight tour-cycle turnarounds — built up over years of touring, repertory, school production and amateur-musical work.
All hire props are PAT-tested where electrical, fire-rated where required for venue compliance, and packed for safe transport. Bespoke prop builds, repaints, and one-off commissions sit alongside the standing hire catalogue.
What we hire
Period & contemporary furniture
Edwardian, Victorian, mid-century, and contemporary furniture for set dressing — armchairs, sofas, sideboards, tables, desks, school benches, period beds.
Set dressing & specialist props
Books, telephones, suitcases, lanterns, gramophones, typewriters, picture frames, and themed dressings for period, fantasy and contemporary settings.
Show-specific props
Title-specific prop packages for popular school and amateur shows — Matilda, High School Musical, Little Shop of Horrors, Annie, Oliver, Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast and more.
Bespoke prop builds
Custom prop fabrication to designer’s drawings — practical props, oversized scenic dressing, character-specific items, puppet builds and finishing.
How prop hire works
Send us your prop list (or your designer’s reference pack) with production name, venue, performance dates and collection / return window. We confirm availability and itemised pricing within two working days, hold a deposit on confirmation, and have the props ready for collection or local delivery in time for your tech run.
Looking for costumes too? Our combined costume and prop hire page covers both — useful for full-show packages where wardrobe and dressing land together.
