Stage Hire in Edinburgh
Stage hire in Edinburgh, delivered from our Rotherham warehouse around three hours up the A1(M). We supply modular deck staging from 3x3m up to 7x6m trailer stages, plus Intelistage platforms for indoor events. Edinburgh is Scotland's conference and events capital - the EICC, the Royal Highland Centre and the Fringe circuit - and we already supply entertainment there.
We hire modular deck staging from 3x3m up to a 7x6m mobile trailer stage, plus Intelistage modular platforms for indoor conferences and awards. Everything in our stage hire range is stocked at our 25,000 sq ft Rotherham warehouse. Structural calcs, RAMS, and our £5 million PLI certificate are sent to your venue before build day. We deliver, build, and collect - around three hours up the A1(M) to Edinburgh.
Stages We Hire
Three configurations cover most stage jobs. For conferences, awards ceremonies and exhibition-hall work we custom-build the Intelistage modular system to fit the footprint; for outdoor events and festivals the deck staging and trailer stages take over. Most Edinburgh hires are one of these three.
Mini Stage 3x3m
DJs, solo presenters, prize-giving. A 3x3m mini stage is enough for a DJ set, a solo presenter, or a prize-giving spot, and it ships with our crew for setup and collection.
6x6m Event Stage
5-piece band and 15 singers. Wind and showerproof side walls for outdoor park events, corporate fun days, and festivals.
For indoor campus events, conferences, and awards the Intelistage 1x1m modular system locks together to any footprint with 20cm base risers. Load capacity: 900 kg/m². The same modular system is our long-running setup for campus events, conferences and awards work.

City of Edinburgh Council event officers, venue managers and corporate H&S teams all need paperwork before they can sign off a supplier. We send everything electronically, in advance - not on the morning of the event.
- £5 million public liability insurance certificate on request

- RAMS (risk assessments and method statements) tailored to your venue and event, emailed before build day
- Indemnity to principal cover when staff are on site - your organisation is covered under our policy

Our documentation has been accepted by councils and corporate H&S teams in Scotland, including venue managers at the EICC and the Royal Highland Centre. If your venue manager needs a specific certificate format, get in touch and we'll send it across.
Build a Full Event Package
Most Edinburgh stage bookings include at least one other item. We carry over 600 products at the Rotherham warehouse, so you can combine a stage with PA, lighting, power, seating, and activities on a single invoice from a single supplier. Everything arrives on the same delivery from the same yard.
Line Array PA
Professional sound for outdoor events and festivals. Basic 6K rigs up to full line array. Sound technician available.
Lecterns
For university award ceremonies, civic events, and corporate presentations.
Also available: generator hire (6 Kva, 10 Kva, and 20 Kva diesel sets, plus low-noise battery gens for heritage parks), gazebos and tables, chairs, fun food stalls, and reaction games. Our partner company Staging Events supplies additional infrastructure including electrical distribution and on-site refuelling. Together we've built 40+ stages for the Alzheimer's Society Memory Walk events nationwide.
Mobile Trailer Stages
The 6x8m trailer stage and 7x6m trailer stage are self-contained - stage surface, roof, and side walls all arrive on a single trailer and set up in under an hour. No scaffolding, no separate roof rigging, no mains power required to erect.
The trailer stage format is the right choice for Edinburgh events where setup time is tight and hardstanding is limited. around three hours from the warehouse, a 7x6m trailer stage arrives self-contained - stage surface, roof and side walls on one trailer, set up in under an hour. For campus-style builds with longer setup windows the modular deck system stays more flexible.
Stage Branding
Our in-house design team prints custom graphics for PA wing panels (£199) and bottom banners (£79). Our crew fits branding at setup and removes it at collection. Useful where a sponsor wants visibility or the stage needs to carry your brand. Design and print are handled in-house - no third-party printer to coordinate.
Weather Cover
Edinburgh events run year-round - conference-season events, Festival Fringe activations and the city's winter events. Weather cover depends on the stage:
- The 6x6m Event Stage has wind and showerproof side walls as standard
- Mobile trailer stages have a built-in roof
- For modular deck stages, add a 3x3m stage canopy, 6x6m stage canopy, or the inflatable stage canopy
- The 6x6m Event Stage has wind and showerproof side walls as standard
- Mobile trailer stages have a built-in roof
- For modular deck stages, add a 3x3m stage canopy, 6x6m stage canopy, or the inflatable stage canopy
For outdoor events that come round every year, adding the 3x3m or 6x6m canopy as standard is usually worth it - weather cover is the cheapest insurance an event organiser buys.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stage hire cost in Edinburgh?
Stage hire is bespoke. Price depends on stage size, build height, branding, setup complexity, distance, and whether you need staffing on the day. A 3x3m mini stage for a community event and a 6x8m trailer stage with PA and a sound engineer for a festival are very different jobs. Edinburgh delivery from our Rotherham warehouse is around three hours, so transport costs are modest. Hit the green button on any stage product to add it to your quote, or ask us for a price.
Do you deliver stages to Edinburgh?
Yes. Our warehouse in Rotherham is around three hours up the A1(M) from Edinburgh, and we deliver with our own crew in our own vehicles. For Scottish events we typically deliver the day before and collect the day after. Every stage is delivered, built, and collected by our own team.
What size stage do I need?
A 3x3m mini stage is enough for a DJ, solo presenter, or prize-giving spot - what a DJ needs for a corporate night. A 4x4m fits a 3-piece band and 12 singers. A 6x6m event stage handles a 5-piece band and 15 singers with wind and showerproof side walls. A 6x8m or 7x6m trailer stage takes the biggest line-ups and sets up in under an hour. If you are not sure, tell us the line-up and the venue and we will size it for you.
What paperwork do you provide?
Structural calculations, risk assessments, and method statements (RAMS) are sent to your venue or H&S team before build day. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance, and we offer indemnity to principal cover when our staff are on site. PAT certificates for all electrical equipment on request. This paperwork has been accepted by councils and corporate H&S teams in Scotland, including venue managers at the EICC and the Royal Highland Centre.
Can you supply stages outdoors in bad weather?
Yes. The 6x6m Event Stage has wind and showerproof side walls. Mobile trailer stages have a built-in roof. For modular deck stages, we add a 3x3m or 6x6m stage canopy, or the inflatable canopy for quicker rigging. For events that run every year, we add the canopy as standard.
Can you run multi-site Leeds events?
Yes. Where the same client runs events at more than one Edinburgh site on the same day, we split our fleet and crew across them - same supplier, same invoice, same crew coordinating the day.
