The Sound & Light Hire Company Invest in More Outdoor Stages
The Sound & Light Hire Company Logo
As we move into 2021, it’s become abundantly clear that whatever happens with the coronavirus currently plaguing our lives, the vast majority of events will be moving outdoors. We’ve already spoken to many of our customers who usually put on indoor events, and their plans all involve more outdoor elements. So we’ve decided to act.
As you’ll be aware, we’ve never been ones to sit still, we’ve continued to make some serious investments into our outdoor event equipment despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. With the summer just around the corner, we’re already well underway with the preparations for a season of celebration and relief!
Those preparations include investing in more outdoor stages to expand our current line up of outdoor stage hire packages. So let’s tell you all about them!
The Sound & Light Hire Company Buy Two More Outdoor Stages
So without further ado, let’s tell you a little more about the investments we’ve been making. First up on our list of new acquisitions was a 6m x 4m outdoor stage.
6m x 4m Outdoor Stage
If you’ve worked with us before, you’ll already be well aware that we already have a couple of these stages in stock. However, given the number of events already booked in to take place outdoors in what is just a few months’ time, we had to expand our arsenal even further!
The reasons we stock so many stages with these dimensions is that they are so versatile. Firstly, they are at home either indoors or out. They are just as happy providing a platform for local bands at a summer village fête as they are hosting an indoor comedy performance.
Better still, they can be assembled and dismantled quickly on-site. With perfect weather conditions and easy access to the venue, our fantastic stage crew can have this built, rigged with equipment, and ready to go in less than two hours. Pretty impressive we think you’ll agree!
With yet another of these stages in stock, we can provide our services to even more events come the busy summer season. We can’t wait!
8m x 6m Outdoor Stage
Not content with our first purchase, we went and spent even more money (don’t tell our accountants!). We’ve been increasingly asked about providing a bigger stage than our 6m x 4m stage hire option without having to shell out for some of the enormous festival stage hire options we provide in conjunction with our sister company Outdoor Stages.
Our customers spoke, so we listened! We went out and acquired an 8m x 6m outdoor stage, which provides a better solution for a number of events.
One of the most significant selling points about this particular stage is its range of stage heights. With available stage deck heights of 1.5ft, 1m or 1.3m, this is the most flexible stage hire option we have on offer, and it works for a variety of events. Whether you’re hosting an outdoor cinema screening or a local music festival, this particular stage can support productions for up to 1,000 guests.
New Acquisitions Complete Outdoor Stage Hire Lineup for 2021
As mentioned, staging services are going to be in high demand this year. Never before has there been such a demand for outdoor events. Even though it may well be the case that we can host indoor events again, the success of outdoor events held during the pandemic has solidified demand.
Furthermore, just because the virus may not be as much of a deadly threat to public health in a few months’ time, that doesn’t mean that health and safety will suddenly occupy a less significant spot in all of our minds. Therefore, these acquisitions have helped us to better serve you, our customers, for all of the outdoor events you have planned for later this year.
Remember, we have a full range of outdoor stages to offer you. From the smaller 6m x 4m option just mentioned to our vast 10m x 8m and 12m x 9m festival stages we can offer you through our subsidiary company, there’s no type of event that we can’t help you with when it comes to outdoor stages.
From small and mobile, to mega outdoor structures, we’ve got something for everyone this year, and we can’t wait to hear about what you have planned. However, we need to warn you that you need to act fast this year when booking your outdoor stage hire.
Why You Need to Book Your Outdoor Stage Hire Today for Summer 2021
Yes, we are still in the late stages of winter, but 2021 will be different from any year that has preceded it.
In all our time as a staging services provider, never have we had a whole season effectively cancelled and postponed to a year later. What that means is that, not only do we have a considerable number of events already booked in, but we’ve also got a wave of event planners contacting us about new possibilities to squeeze in on top!
One thing’s for sure; it’s going to be a busy spring and summer!
In case you’re wondering just how busy, remember this startling fact: in the UK alone, over 7,000 outdoor events take place every year. When you add in pent up demand, postponed events from last year, and new events explicitly designed to celebrate the fact that we CAN have outdoor events, that annual figure will likely surpass 10,000.
The issue? Not only is demand up, but those requests have got to be squeezed in between April and September, our warmest and sunniest months. There’s also a finite number of outdoor stage providers in the UK. Once they start to book up, you’ll quickly run out of options for your outdoor event.
Therefore, if you don’t get your act together within the next couple of months, finding a stage that’s suitable for your specific demands and within your allocated budget could be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
We’re always as flexible as possible when it comes to client demands. Still, we find ourselves in a situation whereby we are already taking bookings for the summer, and we have already run out of availability on specific dates. While that’s obviously great news for us after the year that was 2020, we’d love to help you as many customers as possible put on their events.
That’s why even if you just want to start a conversation about the nature of your event or discuss any ideas and dates you may be throwing around, it’s worth just getting in touch to give us a heads up.
While we do have good availability with our 6m x 4m stage hire packages in particular, if you’re leaving it until April or May to get it booked in for an August event, we can’t guarantee anything in terms of availability.
If you’re reading this and it’s already post-March 2021, it’s still worth picking up the phone to us. You never know, we might have something available, and we’ll always do our best to help. Even if that means pointing you in the direction of another outfit. We’re nice and helpful like that!
As vital as stage hire services might be to your planned outdoor event, don’t forget that you’re going to need a whole host of additional event equipment. So let’s just spend a moment to explain what we can offer you this summer.
Hire Complementary Stage Production Extras from the Sound & Light Hire Company
While you may need a stage to complete your outdoor event, in many ways it probably only represents the start of the event equipment hire services you’re going to need. Let’s be honest, what’s a festival stage without the array of lighting fixtures, sound equipment, and dazzling LED screens?
It’s fair to say that we’ve come a long way when it comes to our staging services. When we started back in the 1990s, we would never have imagined that by the 2020s we would offer an all-inclusive technical stage production service for outdoor events with audiences of up to 10,000 people and beyond!
But enough reminiscing, let’s talk to you about how we can help take a load off your plate by supplying everything you could possibly need for your stage.
As you know, we have a full suite of event lighting packages that are perfectly suited to outdoor stages. From spotlights to stage blinders, we stock it all! That’s the case for sound too. We can provide you with the full shebang. From suspended PA line arrays to stage monitors, amplifiers, mics, and mixing desks, we can supply turnkey PA system solutions for outdoor events.
Don’t forget we can enhance the stage structurally too. We can add some imposing PA wings on either side to give yourself the show-stopping stage production you’re looking for. These are an absolute must if you’re thinking about hiring some of our razor-sharp 3.9mm pixel-pitch LED screens.
To top it all off, we have some of the best in the business when it comes to construction, rigging, installation and overseeing artistic direction. From our experienced stage crews to our highly-skilled lighting technicians and sound engineers, you can count us to deliver a silky-smooth stage production.
Speaking of which, you can focus your finite energy and resources on other crucial aspects of your event while we’re busy creating the best stage set up you’ve ever seen!
Unlike some other companies, we mean it when we say that we are full-service event production suppliers. Here is just a smattering of the equipment hire services we can provide for your event:
- Stage lighting
- Professional sound equipment
- LED screens
- PA wings
- Event equipment storage “sheds”
- Power generators
- Stage drapes
- Truss structures and rigging
- And much, much more!
