One of our last summer shows at Exeter University and our last one before we rebrand to PlymStages but more of that soon.

Bit of a windy day today and lots of events have been cancelled due to high winds. However the Royal Navy is never daunted by a gentle gale and moved the cricket screens to make it a little less blowy for the musicians. devonport

Rum and Reggae festival at Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall today. Our friends JHAV on sound and lights. Perfect weather so get over there this afternoon Stageline Liveevents

Facebook has informed us that approximately 11 years ago we did our first show with our newly acquired Stageline mobile stage. The event was for BBC Children in Need and happened at the Eden Project in . When we first saw the SL50 we knew it was a fantastic bit of design and engineering totally built to last. Every time we build it we get people coming up to us amazed that the relatively small trailer 'transforms' into a full size stage especially when we are using the extension decks. We pass on our thanks to all our customers and all the technicians that have worked with us over the years.

A fantastic day with the Stageline SL50 at Duloe Ale and Cider Festival. Great weather fantastic bands and some mighty fine ale and cider. Duloe is the home of Cornishorchards so a good showing from them. We did the full production for this event with our Mackie HDA line array. For the first time we used our new line array weather covers which keep the worst of the rain off ( and provides some shade too). Thanks to all the Duloe Ale and Cider Festival team who put this community event together so brilliantly.

Stoke village funday 2022 here in Plymouth. Had to leave a 1M gap on one side for Pedestrians and 6M fire corridor on the other as well as not blocking any resident's gates Our is just right for tight urban situations. Great turnout for this event and really handy for the pub! Actually, this bit of the town has about 6 pubs in 100m of road so wherever we put the stage would be convenient.

A weekend venture to Showground near Falmouth in Cornwall for the Cornwall Balloon Festival. Wind was a bit strong for the Balloons until right at the end of the weekend. We were working for our friend's at Clockwork Audio Systems who provided lighting and sound courtesy of the KV2 system. They also booked the tribute acts and they have a Tribute Act Festival in Plymouth coming up in August.

Armed Forces Day 2022 on Plymouth Hoe.

We had to wait until the Merlin landed before we could build the stage due to the downdraft. our stage was the Plymouth Youth Music Services stage and we had some fantastic young musicians entertaining the crowds.

Event technical was by our friends at JHAV who did a fantastic job over the entire site which included 2 performance stages and two arenas.

Despite the strong wind and unpredictable downpours it was a fantastic day

Setting up for the celebration day in Torpoint, Cornwall. First time we have had all our extension decks on a job to create a 28ft x 20ft (note the use of imperial measures just for fun) stage deck. The event runs all day Friday and there will be fireworks on the river.

After 24 hours of walking the team had raised nearly £20,000 well done to all who took part.

Life's a beach, set up on Blackpool Sands near Salcombe for a private beach party. Not often the stage gets pulled by 3 different vehicles in one day.

So 4 days ago we got a a phone call asking us if we could do a community event. As their supplier had been forced to isolate with Covid. So Stage, sound and lights booked and prepped in short order including a full strip down and renew of the trailer brakes. Got on site this morning at 08.30 and was informed that the Generator company had to isolate as well! So one of the team drove back to Plymouth to pick up one of our silenced Gensets and gas and we had our selves a show. It looked like the whole town turned out to see the bands. Great show and home by 2am.

Bit of a last minute job due to Covid cancellations by regular suppliers. We stepped forward to supply stage, sound, lights and power for Bovey Tracey Picnic in the Park. All starts at 4pm. Until 10pm.

Outdoor civil weddings and partnerships get the go ahead 21/06/2021

Great news if you are getting married in the South West as our SL50 Mobile stage makes the perfect outdoor wedding platform. With a bright and airy feel it can be easily 'dressed' with drapes, fairy lights and flowers. The opaque roof shades you from the sun but lets the light in and the wind walls can be removed for optimum viewing from all angles.

We can get our stage into most locations due to it's light weight and compact form.

Call or message us for availability and costs.

Outdoor civil weddings and partnerships get the go ahead Non-religious weddings in England and Wales have had to take place indoors until now.

18/04/2021

Real shame this event is not going ahead this year but with uncertainty over what restrictions might be in place we understand the decision.

After much consideration we have decided to postpone this year’s festival, yet again. There are still too many uncertainties around events to enable us to plan effectively, unfortunately. We hope to see all your lovely faces in 2022 though! 😄💪🏻

This is so true.

Yep.
We're the ones who:
- sink life savings into starting a business
- work 16h days to earn our small successes
- employ 7.6 million people

We really need help from HM Treasury

Is allowing these small businesses to collapse, putting millions out of work, your legacy Rishi Sunak, Jesse Norman?

Stage is up and ready for The Union Street Party here in a very Sunny well done for all the organising.

Great community event in Plymouth UK that we are supporting ( literally) with our Stageline SL50.

More photos tomorrow.

It's happening! ☀️

We have been working really hard to make it happen again this year - on the street and it has all been signed off. We have a few exciting surprises that will appear, as well our fab regulars! 🤩

Over the next week we will share how it will work and the things we have put in place to make sure everyone has a great time, safely. Help us, help you to have a great time!

Duloe Ale and Cider Festival

Missing this year's Duloe Ale and Cider Festival vibe. Roll on next year!

Well the sun is shining, as it always does on Beer Fest day and we’re so sorry we can’t all be in a field together enjoying some great ales, ciders and music. Thank you so much to all our supporters over the last 14 years, you’re amazing! You’ve enabled us to build a skatepark, equip and maintain the Pavillion and raise a whopping £43k for charities. We raise a glass to you and hope to see you all next year. 🍻🥂

First event of the year is on Sunday so thought we would get the Stageline SL50 out and give it a clean and paint. As the weather was nice we got a few of the extension decks out as well. We bought 6, 8ft x 4 ft extensions with legs and handrails last year but with COVID-19 happening they have just been stuck in the container. With the 'Wraparound' extension we can make a 28ft wide by 20 ft deep stage with a covered area of 20ft x 16ft. The other photos are of a forestage extension giving a 20ft wide by 24ft deep stage. We figure this is ideal where you want a mixed format event with a dance troupe performing on the fore stage while you are doing a band changeover on the up stage section. Great product Stageline .

Without financial support the live event industry will be harmed significantly with skilled people leaving the professions and no 'new blood' joining. We want to work but we are not allowed to.

Our Story

Outerstage was set up a few years ago by Peter Barlow to provide mobile staging and imaginative event technical support and expertise to smaller events. Peter's experience includes Theatre (RSC, Northern Stage etc), circus ( Circus OZ) corporate communications and arts festivals ( Edinburgh). We have put together a portfolio of equipment that can lift a smaller event from being a 'might see' to a 'must see'.
We are keen to ensure we don't wreck the environment and use LED lighting fixtures where possible and efficient amplifiers to reduce power needs ( typically well under 5KW). Our silenced generators are closely matched to the demand to run efficiently and run on clean burning LPG ( propane) which does not produce particulates like diesel. We alway try to incur as few ‘event miles’ as possible in getting everything we need in the right place that means using local suppliers and lightweight equipment like the SL50 stage which is mostly aluminium.
We understand tight budgets and will come up with creative ways to get the best from any available budget.

Safety is key in the events industry and we adhere to all relevant safety standards and apply a pragmatic approach to risk management. Our Stageline SL50 is approved by Westminster Council surveyors as a temporary structure and they are one of the toughest councils to please. We understand terms like ‘dynamic load’ and windage so you don’t have to.
