Types of Stages

  • Portable Stages: Ideal for flexibility and easy setup, portable stages can be adapted to various venues and event sizes. They are perfect for outdoor events, conferences, and exhibitions.
  • Modular Stages: Offering more customisation options, modular stages can be configured to suit specific requirements. They are suitable for larger events or those that require multiple performance areas. At Hire a Stage, we offer modular stages, suitable for any sized stage you require. From small podium stages to large runways, our modular stages are a great solution to all!
  • Fixed Stages: Typically used in theatres or dedicated event spaces, fixed stages provide a permanent performance area. They are ideal for events with complex setups and long durations.

Factors to Consider

  • Event Type: The nature of your event will determine the size, style, and features of the stage. For example, a concert requires a larger stage than a corporate presentation.
  • Venue Size and Layout: The dimensions of your venue will dictate the stage size and configuration. Consider the available space and the desired audience-performer interaction.
  • Audience Capacity: The number of attendees will influence the stage size and layout. Ensure the stage is large enough to accommodate performers and equipment comfortably.
  • Stage Height: The stage height should be appropriate for the event and the performers. Consider factors like visibility, acoustics, and the overall aesthetic.
  • Budget: Determine your budget for stage hire and explore options that fit within your financial constraints.
