Music and Staging Hire in the South East incl. London, Kent, Sussex & Surrey

STAGING
In 1998 the society was awarded a National Lottery Capital Grant which enabled it to purchase staging and seating for a choir of 120 and seating and music stands for the orchestra (Cranbrook Sinfonia). One of the conditions of the grant was that the society should offer other choral societies, schools and performing groups the opportunity of hiring the whole or part of the equipment. Since this offer was made known, the staging has been in constant demand by choral and orchestral societies in many parts of the south-east of England including London, Kent, Sussex and Surrey. All the equipment is housed in a purpose-built trailer and is mounted on wheeled trolleys for easy handling. The society’s staging manager can deliver and erect tiered staging and comfortable seating, ready for the final rehearsal, and can dismantle it immediately after the performance. Also available are 40 Opus musician posture chairs and music stands, together with a conductor’s podium and music stand. Full details of hire charges etc are obtainable from Arthur Reynolds: 07885 802302, or via the email link on the contacts page of this website.
