Affordable Backdrop Hire

To make our theatre cloths affordable we hire theatre backcloths by the day, as we know no two shows are the same. If you can’t find what you are looking for, or you aren’t sure how we can help then please contact us with any questions.

You can hire all our cloths by the day, starting with a minimum of 4 days. Your hire days should start with the day you need the theatre cloth to arrive at your location, and finish on the day the cloth will be collected.

We will arrange for our courier service to deliver the cloths to your location on the day your cloth hire starts. You’ll need someone there to sign for it, and possibly someone to help carry them into the theatre if you have ordered multiple cloths. We’ll organise the courier to collect the cloths from you on the final day of your hire, you’ll need to be there once again to ensure all cloths are properly packed, bagged and collected by the courier.

Actual cloth sizes are displayed against the cloth on the website as they vary, mostly depending on the type of cloth they are.

Packed for delivery the cloths generally come in strong vinyl bags approx 1.5m by 75cm, and can weigh anything up to 30kg, again depending on the type of cloth.

We’re a family run business and have been working in theatre for more than 30 years, so we would love to have a chat with you about what’s best for your show. If you are a beginner to all of this, or just need some specifics about our cloths, contact us and we’ll make sure its sorted.
