Your costs are going to be primarily determined by the size of the festival stage you hire. More often than not, the bigger the stage, the higher your costs will tend to be. Then you've got to factor in all of the additional equipment hire such as lighting, sound, and associated event production requirements.

As a rough guide, you can hire a small outdoor covered festival stage for comfortably under £1,000. Given that you may have ticket sale revenues in the region of £10,000 - £20,000, we believe this stage hire package represents incredible value for money.

For our most extensive festival stage hire package (which includes an industry-leading lighting and sound equipment), you're looking at closer to £10,000. Again, these are everything included prices. Always check with stage hire providers that the price they are giving you includes everything you need. You can learn more about festival stage hire costs here.

Once again, it depends on the specific type of festival stage hire option you've chosen. But, as with costs, the larger the stage, the longer it is likely to take to be built.

Smaller festival stages can be constructed and completed within a matter of hours. However, our biggest stages take at least a few working days to complete and can take longer if the weather poses any significant threat to access or safe construction processes.

Where in London you're planning on hosting your event also could impact construction times. Access and logistical challenges posed by your specific London venue could cause delays. You can learn more about how long it takes to build a festival stage here.

The short answer is as much as possible. Six weeks is usually the bare minimum. Six months is much better and allows for adequate planning and preparation go in beforehand.

Remember, London is the most popular city for events across all of Europe and beyond. That means if you know that you need to hire a festival stage for your event, you need to get it booked in as soon as possible. There are only so many London stage hire companies, and once their inventory has been reserved, you could find yourself unable to source a stage or paying significantly more than you need to.

Of course, we are always as flexible as possible with our clients. We can work on shortened timescales (especially for small festival stages) if another provider lets you down at the last minute. However, it's unusual to have much of a selection available for you to choose from at the last minute. As always, we'll do our best to help you out!

Yes! We genuinely mean it when we say that we provide an end-to-end service for our clients. We've already mentioned that we provide all aspects of event production such as sound equipment, lighting fixtures, sound systems, LED screens, PA wings, and power supply.

But our scope of support goes much further than that. We can supply all necessary health and safety documentation concerning the stage, wind documentation if your event is outdoors, logistics, and experienced personnel on the ground ensuring the setup and dismantling procedures are as smooth as possible.

There's no other company that commits to such an all-encompassing package.

Outdoor Stages is based in Surrey, but we cover all areas within the South East of England and beyond. Whether you're hosting a festival in Twickenham, or you've booked out space in a conference centre in Heathrow, we can supply what you're looking for.

Of course, our services are available right across the UK and beyond. However, being so close to London gives us a significant cost advantage when it comes to logistical and setup costs. Just give us a call about your chosen London venue to enquire as to how much it would cost you.

Many venues recommend us as stage hire suppliers so the chances are we may already be familiar with the working procedures required of your chosen site.

Here at Outdoor Stages, we offer several all-inclusive festival stage hire packages. They include additional event production aspects, including lighting and sound equipment hire. All you have to do is choose your package, specify any extras, and we'll handle the rest. How's that for hassle-free service?

Of course, we can also come up with a tailor-made package for your London event. So if your plans don't neatly fit into one of our packages, there's no need to be concerned. We can still provide you with an excellent value-for-money festival stage hire service, including all event production aspects.

Yep, we sure can! Here at Outdoor Stages, we are proud to announce that we are the first UK stage hire company to offer a full 3D rendering service for any of our stage hire packages.

This service is perfect for outdoor event planners who need to know what their stage production package will look like, not just from a design perspective, but also for the national regulatory bodies and local London councils signing off on the event.
