Hot ( literally ) off the heels of Plymouth' amazing National Fireworks Championship we move the XXL to Newton Abbot Racecourse gor Newton Summer Sounds. Which goes live on Saturday 15th. It's pretty close to Newton Abbot station so why not hop on a Great Western Railway (GWR) train and come along and see some great tribute acts. Our friends at Nub Sound Ltd are looking after visuals and noise boxes so you are in safe hands. Great music and beer as well as proper toilets, what is not to love?

A very quick turnaround from Alstock to Charlestown Regatta Week for our XXL . We started the Alstock derig at 0930 had that hitched up and ready to tow at 12:00 then arrived at very busy Charlestown at 13.00 and was fully built by 17:00. Pretty windy day which slowed things down a bit.

Quick turnarounds are one of the key advantages of trailer stages. Fewer days on site means less ground damage, lower security costs and less site labour.

We are already booking dates for Summer 2027 so please do not delay, contact us today!

Just got back from the fabulous The Godney Gathering Glastonbury where we were building our XXL stage for this weekends festival. This is the biggest layout we do with our XXL which provides a stage area of 10m x 6m . We know that a smooth running festival needs backstage space and on this build we provided a 3.6m x 7.2m stage left wing deck for patch and monitors. That is big enough for a 6m x 3m gazebo/ cowshed with a 'smoking' gallery at the back. On stage right we have a band prep area that can fit 2 gazebos measuring 6m x 3m with a 6 metre ramp for flight case loading. We also provided a couple of rolling risers measuring 2.5m x 2m which can enter stage from either side. The top banner brings the height of the stage to an imposing 7 metres and a total performance width of nearly 15 metres. This was all built in approximately 8 hours with a team of 5.

We would love to hear from you if you think this setup could fit your event staging needs. We do have a few slots available over the summer that are not used by our valued repeat customers like Godney Gathering, Ruckus Festival Plymouth , The Test Fest, Celebration of Speed, Alstock

Great event put on by the Ruckus Festival Plymouth this year. This is growing into a fantastic live music festival and we are proud to have provided our XXL stage with 60 m2 of stage level wing space for rolling risers. Sound lights and video wall provided by JHAV

Well haven't we had a busy few days of back to back stage hires. Ruckus Festival Plymouth Celebration of Speed and
MessFest at HMS Drake. All in a space of a week! Building stages in 32 degree heat certainly takes it out of you but the PlymStages team just carry on regardless even though the Aircon in the pickup decided it does NOT like hot weather. Fantastic working with local JHAV and Nub Sound Ltd to support here in the southwest, in this case the band Reef, The Hoosiers and MistaJam

Excuse my singing, The Hoosiers will make up for it at Ruckus Festival Plymouth it is going to be a blast.

Lovely to have our friends Riviera Dogs - The Ultimate 80s Band back on our XXL stage at this year. Great gig and top bunch to work with.

Our stages are used on loads of music festivals throughout the southwest but remember they can also support other events like ship launches, building opening events and military ceremonies. They can be configured as VIP platforms to provide your dignatories protection from the Sun and rain. We even provide options for accessible viewing platforms with wheelchair ramps.
