Suitable for larger programmes, bands, dance groups, civic guests and technical positions.
Delivery, setup, takedown and collection included.
PA, lighting, video, crew and power sourced and quoted separately when required.
Why the stage works
A switch-on is rarely just one moment. It can include schools, local choirs, dance groups, live acts, civic guests, presenters and a final countdown. A raised, covered trailer stage keeps that programme visible and gives organisers one practical performance area to plan around.
Move from choirs and dance groups to presenters, guest appearances and the countdown without changing venues or splitting the audience.
The raised performance area creates a recognisable focus among stalls, shops, street furniture and a standing crowd.
Suitable lighting, banners and festive dressing can be fitted while the roof is low and easy to reach, before it is raised into show position.
From a compact community switch-on to a festival centrepiece, the stage can be configured to suit a wide range of event formats and site sizes. Adjustable height, deck levels and optional PA and branding wings help create the right setting for your performers, audience and sponsors.
The final configuration is agreed around your site, access and event requirements. PA and branding options are quoted separately.
