Traditional stage drapes & masking for theatres, halls & productions.

Theatre draping is a craft of its own. Legs, borders, tabs, backs & cycloramas define the playing space, mask the wings & control what the audience sees — & it all has to be flat, even & dependable, night after night.

We supply full-height black wool serge for backs & masking, plus the free-standing structure to hang it where a venue has no fly tower or fixed rigging. That makes professional-standard staging possible in village halls, community theatres, colleges & touring venues.

Whether it's an am-dram society, a dance show, a concert or a professional touring set, our drapes & technicians give the stage a clean, theatrical finish.
