Modular stage hire for concerts, schools, weddings and events

Stephen's advice

Go 0.6m high for anything with an audience standing up, and always budget for stairs. And if it is outdoors, ask about the cover — a wet stage ends a show faster than anything else.

Ordering your stage

Stage modules, heights and how many you need

Module sizes

Stage modules come in 1.2m × 2.4m rectangular blocks and 1.2m × 1.2m square blocks, so almost any footprint is possible — wide and shallow for a band, deep for a production, or a long catwalk.

Heights

Heights of 0.3m, 0.45m, 0.5m, 0.6m and 1m. The most common event height is 0.6m. A stage 0.6m or higher should have stairs, which we supply.

Finish

Stage blocks come with a black carpet top or black vinyl top and black skirting, so the stage looks tidy from the audience and on camera.

STEP 1 block

Display or single speaker

One 1.2m × 2.4m block is enough for a single presenter, a display stand or a small awards podium.

STEP 2 blocks

Speaker plus guest

Two blocks for an MC and a speechmaker — a wedding, a small awards ceremony or a panel of two.

STEP 4 blocks

Small band

Four modules for a small band or a DJ with performers. Larger bands, choirs and productions scale up from here.

Outdoor

Cover it

For outdoor events pair the stage with our 8m × 10m inflatable stage cover — it goes up fast, keeps the weather off performers and gear, and makes the stage the centrepiece of the event.
