Hiring a Set

Once you have spoken to one of our lovely creative people and agreed on the set or prop you wish to hire, we will need to know your location, the preferred get in date, and time.

Normally the hire period is for seven days, but please do ask if you would like it longer.

We also need to know the date and time of the strike. 

Once everything is finalised, we require a 25% deposit to secure your booking and the balance 7 days prior to your production.

If you’re unsure about anything, please call us.

Fabrication

In our Dorset workshop, the magic of set and prop fabrication comes to life through the hands of our small team of creative people.

This creative haven is where imagination meets craftsmanship. We use locally sourced and recycled materials and turn them into stunning visual elements that transport audiences into different worlds. 

From intricate props that add authenticity to scenes, to elaborate sets that create immersive environments, our team meticulously designs and constructs each piece with precision and passion.

Every creation in our Dorset workshop reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail, ensuring that each project is brought to life in the most captivating and believable way possible.

Installation

Our professional team will take the stress away!

On arriving at your chosen venue, our team of professional installers will carry out a quick inspection of the site before carefully unpacking everything and bringing it into your performance space.

We work quickly, efficiently and safely to get your set built, and as soon as the crew are happy with the installation they will hand it over to you so you can get on with your rehearsals.

Once we have handed over to you, you are more than welcome to finish dressing the set with additional props and items relative to your performance.

And, once the final curtain drops, our team will arrive at a time convenient to you to carefully and quickly remove the structure, and take it away retuning your performance space to its original state.

Now, that’s hassle free!
