Planning an outdoor event? Whether it’s a festival, wedding, or community show, the right stage is essential for safety, visibility, and atmosphere. Here’s a guide to outdoor stage hire in the South East and how Beatz Hire can support your event.
August 30, 2025
Every event needs a focal point, and a stage provides exactly that. An outdoor stage makes sure performers can be seen and heard, equipment stays safe, and the audience has a clear view.
For festivals, it’s about handling large crowds. For weddings or corporate events, it’s about making speeches, bands, or DJs stand out. For any outdoor event, a solid stage means a smoother, safer experience.
At Beatz Hire, we stock professional-grade Prolyte roofed stages and modular LiteDeck platforms. These can be scaled for small private functions or large festivals.
Our Prolyte curved roof systems are designed for outdoor use and protect performers and equipment from the weather. Options include:
We also supply LiteDeck modular staging and Global Truss decks in a variety of sizes:
This flexibility means we can build stages to fit any event, from a wedding band platform to a full festival main stage.
Different events need different stage setups.
Our team helps you choose the right size so you don’t under- or over-hire.
Outdoor staging needs to meet strict safety standards. All our roofed stages come with the correct wind-loading and structural documents. We also provide:
This ensures your stage is secure, compliant, and ready on time.
An outdoor stage is only part of the picture. Most events also need sound and lighting systems that scale with the stage size.
Beatz Hire can supply sound packages, lighting hire, and full event production alongside staging. This means one supplier handles everything no stress of mixing and matching.
Beatz Hire has delivered outdoor stage hire and full event production across a wide range of shows in the South East. At the One2 Festival, we supplied a Prolyte roofed stage along with sound equipment hire, lighting rigs, and experienced crew to manage setup and de-rig. This complete festival stage hire package ensured the performances ran smoothly and the audience enjoyed clear sound and a professional atmosphere.
We also supported Lab54, an event promoter known for creative brand experiences. For their Heinz × Absolut partnership launch, we provided staging, speaker hire, and technical crew to handle logistics across the venue. By combining staging hire with tailored sound and lighting solutions, we helped create an engaging event that matched the client’s vision.
These examples show how Beatz Hire can adapt from large-scale festival production to branded outdoor shows, always providing reliable equipment and skilled support.
How much does it cost to hire an outdoor stage?
The cost depends on the size of the stage, how long you need it for, and whether you want extras like sound, lighting, or crew support. Small stages for weddings and private events are usually much cheaper than full festival roof systems. The best way is to request a custom quote.
What size stage do I need for my event?
For small events, a 3x3m or 5x3m stage is often enough for a DJ or band. Corporate functions may need a 6x4m roofed stage, while large festivals benefit from 8x6m or 10x8m systems. Our team will help you pick the right size for your audience and venue.
Can outdoor stages be used in bad weather?
Yes. Our Prolyte roofed stages are designed to handle outdoor conditions and come with structural documents for wind and load safety. We also provide protective covers and safe rigging so the event can continue even if the weather changes.
How long does it take to set up a stage?
Setup time varies depending on the size. A small platform might take a couple of hours, while a full 10x8m roof system with truss and rigging can take most of a day. We always plan setup in advance to make sure everything is ready before your event starts.
Do you provide sound and lighting with stage hire?
Yes. Beatz Hire offers complete event production packages, including sound systems, lighting rigs, and staging. You can hire just the stage or a full package with everything included.
Can stages be built on grass or hard surfaces?
Yes. Our stages can be set up on grass, concrete, or other flat ground. We’ll provide the right legs, supports, and ballast to make sure it’s safe and secure on any surface.
Do you provide crew for building and dismantling the stage?
Yes. All our outdoor stages come with delivery, setup, and de-rig included. For larger events, we also offer on-site crew support during the show.
Hiring an outdoor stage in the South East doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is choosing a setup that fits your event size, weatherproof equipment, and a team that knows how to deliver safely and on time.
At Beatz Hire, we provide roofed stages, modular decks, and full event production packages with delivery and setup across Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, and beyond.
