Stage hire isn’t just about the platform, it’s about delivery, installation, safety and whether the crew can build it correctly and on time. This guide explains what’s included with professional stage hire, how much different stage types cost, which companies offer fast setup, and how to keep things affordable. Beatz Hire provides full staging solutions across the South East, including modular decks and a Milos arc-roof stage, with delivery, installation and quick turnaround for events that need a reliable production partner.

Hiring a stage sounds simple until you realise how many moving parts sit behind it, from transport and build times to safety checks, weather considerations, crew availability, and whether the provider actually turns up with the right kit. This guide strips out the noise and gives you the facts:what stage hire includes, what it costs, how fast it can be built, and how to keep it affordable without gambling your entire event on a budget provider.
If you’re running a public event, you shouldn’t be building a stage yourself. Proper staging companies send trained crew who deliver, build, secure, and sign off your platform so you’re not guessing whether it’s safe.
Most full-service providers offer:
At Beatz Hire, our process is simple. We deliver, build, test, and hand over a stage that is structurally sound and ready for showtime.
Our flagship structure, the Milos MR1T 8 m x 6 m Self-Climbing Arc Roof, is used across the South East for festivals, corporate shows, community events, and concerts.
Our pricing:
For modular indoor or outdoor staging, we quote based on size, height, location, and load-in needs.
If you want a provider who actually picks up the phone, shows up on time, and builds it properly, that’s what we do.
Stage hire prices move based on size, complexity, and location. Here’s a realistic breakdown (not the sugar-coated versions you find on sales pages):
Ideal for conferences, presentations, and small performances.
£200 – £1,000 per day, depending on size and height.
Great for school events, community festivals, corporate launches.
£500 – £1,500+ with steps and rails.
Used for festivals, concerts, cultural events, and outdoor activations.
The mistake people make is thinking the “stage” is just the platform.
What you’re really paying for is the engineering, the crew, the logistics, and the safety.
Without Compromising Safety
If you’re on a tight budget, there are smart ways to keep the cost down without hiring junk.
Localised stage hire is usually cheaper than bringing a company from across the country.
Since Beatz Hire covers the entire South East, clients avoid large transport fees, which is where most “budget-killer” costs hide.

If the map sits anywhere in the South East, we can deliver to it.
Here’s the truth: a lot of staging companies are fine until something changes last minute. Your delivery window tightens, your site access changes, your power supplier is late, or your performance schedule shifts. That’s the moment where many companies fall apart.
We don’t.
What we bring:
Whether you need a full festival deck, a corporate presentation platform, a runway, a choir riser, or a covered stage for live music, we’ll build it, secure it, and hand it over ready to use.
