AV Productions provides professional stage hire in London and across the UK for conferences, exhibitions, award ceremonies, product launches, concerts, and outdoor events. Our staging is designed for business-critical environments where speakers must be clearly seen, performers need a stable platform, and everything must look polished both on camera and in the room.
With over 30 years of combined staging and event production experience, our team builds stages that fit the venue, the audience, and the running order, rather than forcing you into a standard layout. From compact presentation platforms and top-table risers to multi-level conference sets and performance stages, we specify layouts that work with your room dimensions, sightlines and technical requirements.
Our inventory covers folding steel and aluminium decks, modular 2 × 1 m stage blocks, spider-leg stages, plus matching steps, handrails and risers, all supplied with neat black tops, skirting and drapes. Whether you need a simple lectern stage or a fully branded stage with custom fascias and coloured cladding, we ensure the structure beneath is solid, safe, and ready to carry the rest of your event.
We operate from a central London warehouse close to major venues and transport links, keeping delivery runs short and making late adjustments more manageable. From there, we support events throughout London and across the UK. We supply stages for hotels, conference centres, exhibition halls, studios and temporary outdoor sites.
Our team has spent decades designing and building stages for conferences, AGMs, town halls, award nights, festivals and live shows. That depth of experience shows in the details: setting the right height for cameras, allowing enough depth for panels and lecterns, keeping clear access routes for presenters and crew, & planning smooth changeovers between segments.
AV Productions is more than a staging warehouse. We deliver full technical packages that combine stage hire with lighting, sound systems, microphones, LED video walls, projection, playback, and live streaming. The same team designs, installs and runs the entire setup, so you avoid juggling multiple suppliers and minimise the risk of gaps between different parts.
All stages are built from professional modular components with known load ratings and appropriate fixings. Decks, legs, clamps, steps, and handrails are inspected in the warehouse and again on site. We provide risk assessments and method statements where needed, building with edge protection, safe access, and clear cable management in mind.
Browse our full range of stage decks, risers, steps, handrails and accessories available to hire. From compact presentation platforms to larger multi-level builds, each product is designed to work together as part of a safe, smart and professional staging system for your event.
Our stage hire stock is based on proven systems similar to the platforms used throughout the live event and touring industries. Aluminium and steel frames support robust plywood tops with textured black finishes for good grip under show lighting. Adjustable and fixed-height legs allow us to set stages at different levels for plenary rooms, breakout spaces, choirs, bands, and camera positions, while compatible clamps lock decks together into a single, stable surface.
We carry a range of spider-leg decks and folding platforms for situations where access is tight or turnaround times are short. These units fold down for transport, wheel easily into the venue, and open out into full-size decks that integrate with the rest of our staging system. Steps, handrails, ramps, guard rails, skirting and drapes can be added to finish the look, giving you a clean, corporate stage without sacrificing safety or practicality. You can hire a single platform to support an in-house setup, or combine multiple decks and accessories into a full stage package with crew supplied by AV Productions.
Effective staging is about how well it supports the whole event, not just how the platform looks on its own. When we plan a stage, we start with what you are actually doing on it: keynote talks, panels, demos, awards walk-ups, performances or hybrid streaming. Then we factor in the room shape, ceiling height, rigging points and audience size, and build a layout that keeps sightlines clear for both guests and cameras, while still leaving space for set pieces, lecterns and comfort monitors.
ecause we also handle lighting, sound, and video, we can fix sightlines, speaker positions, and screen locations from the very beginning. Stage height is set so people can see over the front rows without straining, handrails are placed with camera shots in mind, and backstage routes are planned so presenters and crew can move safely without stepping through cable runs. We deliver everything with the right fixings, drapes, cabling and power, so the stage goes in cleanly and becomes the natural focus of the room.
AV Productions stages are used for a wide mix of live formats in London and across the UK. In conference and town-hall environments, the priority is clear visibility and a tidy, confident look. Speakers should feel comfortable walking on and off, there should be space for panels, lecterns, interpreters and signage, and the whole area must translate well to cameras and screens for hybrid or recorded content.
On exhibition floors and trade show stands, staging often needs to create small theatres or demo zones that draw attention without overwhelming the stand. We build compact stages and risers that give presenters and products a clear platform while respecting stand boundaries and venue rules. For brand experiences, fashion shows and product launches, staging becomes part of the creative design, with catwalks, split levels and branded fascias used to shape how guests move through the space and how reveals are delivered.
Awards dinners, gala nights and concerts typically require stages that support bands, hosts and frequent guest walk-ups. Here we focus on safe, efficient access with well-placed steps and handrails, robust deck loading for backline and PA, and layouts that allow cameras and photographers to capture the action without blocking guests’ views.
Selecting a staging supplier is ultimately about deciding whom you trust to handle the platform that carries your whole event. AV Productions brings together a modern inventory of modular staging and a team who spend their year supporting conferences, exhibitions, launches and shows in London venues and across the UK. Our local base keeps logistics manageable, and our familiarity with venue rules and access routes helps to reduce friction on site.
Because staging, lighting, sound, projection, LED walls and streaming can all come from one partner, you keep the technical side of your event simple and joined up. Equipment is maintained on a regular schedule and installed by technicians who understand safety standards, load ratings and the realities of live production.
