Sets & Staging FAQs
Let us know your event date as soon as possible because some dates are very popular. It also depends on the size of your event and your requirements. Remember, bespoke builds take time.
Please feel free to call us with any ideas you have, and we’ll make your dreams a reality.
The Cause can provide staging from stock in 1metre x 2metre sections, for internal or external use, with or without hard or soft facings. Alternatively, the staging can be custom-built to any shape or size. Stock staging can be combined with custom elements, such as curved sections, to provide bespoke staging.
Any height. Just let us know.
What will the stage be used for, what’s the area and what finish is required on the stage decks.
This will depend on the intended use of the stage and how many people would be on it at one time, as well as the available room, both when assembled and stored away.
Yes. But let us know the size and shape, well in advance.
Yes. The Cause can deliver sets and stages anywhere and install everything for you.
We can ‘dry’ hire the set or include the set-up fee in our quotation.
We can deliver, install, de-rig and collect. Just tell us where and when the sets and staging are needed, and we’ll arrange convenient access with the venue.
Yes, of course. Just let us know if you need hard or soft flats, along with the sizes, colours and materials.
No problem! We can build ANYTHING! Let us know the venue size and your available budget. It’s worth noting that larger items can be made in smaller sections which will fit through doorways and then be assembled on site.
We can print onto stretch fabric that’s then stretched around a framework, to any size. Alternatively, we can use a backcloth that can be lit with LED colour lighting, or act as a surface for projected images.
We can provide star cloth.
Yes, we can integrate ANYTHING into your set.
Stock flats are used as stage backdrops and screen surrounds. We can make them in any size, shape or colour. They can be covered in anything – felt, velvet, vinyl, AstroTurf or stretched graphics.
We have contacts with a wide range of theatrical props suppliers and, if you’re looking for something special, we can build it in our workshops.
Some of the crazy things we’ve custom-built for events:
- Large stars with chasing lights
- 6-foot high numbers with internal illumination
- Baths on wheels and plywood cars
- Rockets that fire real, orange smoke
- Fire-breathing dragons
- Circus mirrors and light-boxes
- Ursula Andress mannequins
- Rubber rifles
- Scooters and skateboards
So, in a few words – anything you desire!
