The Brief

Production Hire was contracted to provide a stage and a roof with a difference for Gala 2023, a popular 3-day independent festival in Peckham Rye Park, South-East London.

The Work

The initial stage design was created by Fables Creative and included a custom cladding system. Production Hire was tasked with designing a structure that would allow for the mounting of the decor whilst providing adequate weatherproofing and maintaining structural integrity.

After two months of design and research and three weeks of manufacturing the custom items, Production Hire installed the custom stage and roof ready for the late May Bank Holiday weekend festival.

The Challenges

As with every custom-made project, there are challenges to face, both during the design and implementation of the product.

During the initial planning stages, design issues had to be ironed out to ensure the integrity of the custom-built stage and roof wasn’t compromised, whilst building an aesthetically pleasing end-product.

Thanks to the abilities of Production Hire and the wider team, all design issues were handled and mitigated during the initial planning process, leading the way to a straightforward development and installation of the stage and roof, including the custom-made elements.

The Outcome

Once again, the late May bank holiday weekend saw another successful Gala festival which included a fantastic line up from the likes of Congo Natty, OK Williams and Analog Soul and incredible food from some of the best chefs and restaurants in London.
