How to plan the right stage for your event

Start by defining what happens on the stage. A single speaker, panel discussion, awards presentation and musical performance can have different space, access and load requirements.

Measure the usable area and consider the audience position, sightlines, required stage height, access steps, nearby doors and emergency routes. Confirm the venue’s restrictions and any floor-loading or rigging rules with the venue team.

Information to include in your enquiry

• Event date and venue address
• Required stage width, depth and height
• Intended use and equipment or people on the platform
• Loading access, setup time and collection schedule
• Any related sound, lighting, screen or projection needs

All hire prices exclude VAT, delivery, setup and collection. Any applicable costs will be confirmed separately in your quotation.
