Scenic hire & building
Scenic sets built to designer’s drawings, hire stock for shorter runs, painting and finishing, install and strike. Designed, built, and delivered from our Blackpool workshop.
Custom scenic builds
From a single statement piece to a full touring set, we build to scale models, drawings, or scribbled-on-the-back-of-an-envelope sketches. Materials: timber, steel, fabric, acrylic, soft goods. Finishes: scenic painting, faux textures, age-and-distress.
- Flats, trucks, rostra, treads, decks
- Statement pieces and feature builds
- Touring-ready, flat-pack or modular construction
- Scenic painting and finishing
- Soft goods — gauzes, drapes, traverses
Scenic hire
If the budget or timeline doesn’t stretch to a custom build, hire from our stock instead. Flats, rostra, scenic dressing, period furniture, generic exterior and interior pieces — ready to go out the door same week.
