Of course, your primary concern is going to be the costs involved. The good news is that mobile stages sit at the lower end of the pricing spectrum because they're usually smaller in size than the colossal festival stages we supply. However, don't forget to factor in any additional equipment you may be thinking of hiring such as lighting fixtures and speaker systems.

If you want ballpark figures, you can hire a small mobile stage for comfortably under £1,000. Yes, that's right, for an event where you might have ticket sales in the region of £10,000 - £20,000 you can secure a high-quality mobile stage that looks infinitely more professional than the side of a trailer or lorry for potentially less than a tenth of the value of ticket sales.

If you want to push the boat out for one of our slightly bigger mobile stage options with an impressive array of event production equipment included, then you're looking more like £3,000-plus. But don't forget, at this size, you can support audiences numbering the thousands.

Another essential aspect to note is that these are everything included prices. Always check with stage hire providers that the price they are giving you includes everything you need, including delivery and setup costs. You can learn more about mobile stage hire costs here.

As their names suggest, these are mobile stages, which means they are easily transported and relatively straightforward to set up. We expect our crews to have a stage built for you within two hours of arrival for our smaller stages. For our more extensive mobile stage options, you need to allow several hours, as there may be significantly more set up required for the additional stage production elements once you get up to those sizes.

Always follow the rule of the bigger the stage, the longer it will take to set up. Also, consider extraneous factors such as the weather, accessibility options, and terrain as they can all slow down the setup process. We will always advise you of how long it will take once we've completed our site inspection. You can learn more about how long it takes to build a festival stage here.

The short answer is as much as possible. While it's true that mobile stages require a lot less planning in terms of logistics and access to sites, we still need time to prepare all of the necessary documentation and most crucially book your event dates into our work schedule.

Ideally, even for small mobile stages, we could do with at least six weeks' notice so that we have ample time to make all of the necessary arrangements.

Obviously, we are always as flexible as possible with our clients. We can work on shortened timescales (especially for our smallest mobile stage option) if another provider lets you down at the last minute. But because mobile stages are so popular, we can't guarantee any kind of availability.

Remember that the longer you leave it, the higher the chance that you will be left high and dry since there are only so many stage hire providers who have these types of stages within their inventories.

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.

However, our scope includes supporting you with all necessary health and safety documentation concerning our mobile stages, wind documentation (if necessary), logistics, and experienced personnel on the ground ensuring set up and dismantling procedures are as smooth as possible.

As you need to do is specify your requirements, give the go-ahead on our package proposal, and we'll organise the rest for you!

Outdoor Stages is based in the South East of England, and so a large proportion of our mobile stage hire work occurs in and around London and its surrounding counties. However, we have auxiliary warehouses across the country, meaning we can provide mobile stage hire right across the UK.

If you're unsure whether we can supply you with mobile stage hire due to your location, just give us a quick call anytime, and we'll give you an honest assessment of the costs of transporting and setting up a mobile stage in your specific location. No hard sells here, just honest advice and we'll point you in the right direction if we can't help because we're nice like that!

Here at Outdoor Stages, we offer several preset, all-in-one mobile stage hire packages, which can help streamline your decision making process. They include additional event production aspects including lighting and sound equipment hire, so all you have to do is pay for the package, and we'll handle the rest.

Of course, we can also come up with a tailor-made mobile stage hire package for your event if you need something a touch more bespoke to fulfil your event's needs. The choice is yours, but you'll find that we provide you with unbeatable value for money no matter the option you opt for.

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

While it's rare that we provide this type of service for small, mobile stages, it does happen. For instance, in the past, outdoor wedding event planners have needed to see precisely what the stage would look like so that they could get sign off from the bride and groom.
