Yes, you can build your own set in the studio. We’ve had sets including a 1950s diner, a carnival float with a giant peacock and even fire-breathers! As with all our studio hires, any space or facilities used must be returned to us in the same state as at the start of the hire period. As set builds will require additional time and potentially cleaning afterwards etc, it’s best to talk through your requirements and we’ll do our best to help you. You (or your builders) will need appropriate employers and public liability insurance. We also have on-site plumbers, electricians and general builders and can quote for specific projects if you would like to talk to us.
