Stage Hands for Hire Across the UK
Stage hands are the people who make a show physically happen: unloading trucks, building staging and sets, running changeovers and clearing everything away again.

Frequently asked questions
How many stage hands do I need?
It depends on the kit, the venue access and your timings. Tell us the load-in details and we will suggest a crew size rather than over- or under-staffing you.
Can you supply stage hands at short notice?
We always try. Send the details as early as you can and we will tell you straight away whether we can cover it.
Is PPE provided?
Yes. Our crew are supplied with the correct PPE for the job. Tell us if your site has specific PPE requirements and we will make sure the crew are equipped.

Yes. We supply crew across the UK.
