Flexible tiered stage hire solutions
Production Designer Stephen Graham approached Steeldeck Rentals when tasked with designing the staging and scenery for two Songs of Praise projects —Young Chorister of the Year 2024 at Hallé St Peters in Manchester and A Christmas Celebration at Huddersfield Town Hall. Having collaborated with us previously on tiered seating for a BBC News Election Debate at Nottingham Trent University, Stephen knew he could rely on our expertise.
Young Chorister of the Year 2024
For Young Chorister of the Year, we designed a tiered stage featuring three distinct levels and a semi-circular forestage. The structure was clad with hard fascias and topped with recyclable carpet, to meet the aesthetic and practical requirements of the production. By refining the design, we delivered a solution that maintained the creative vision while staying within budget.
A Christmas Celebration
At Huddersfield Town Hall, we created a striking semi-circular stage in front of the venue’s main stage, complete with steps leading up to it. Clad in vibrant red fabric and topped with red carpet, the stage blended seamlessly with the festive decorations. Additionally, we built a raised camera platform to support the production’s technical requirements.
Flexible and Custom Staging
Stage hire doesn’t always mean a rectangular stage build at a single level. For the Young Chorister of the Year, we built a multi-level stage using our versatile 8ft x 4ft Steeldeck platforms, complemented by circular and triangular platforms from our extensive stock. The semicircular forestage was constructed using a 16ft diameter semicircle, showcasing the flexibility of our system to accommodate even the most specific design requirements.
