At UK Productions, Quality Production and Storytelling are never separate - they are woven together with care, ambition and precision, combining striking design, powerful performances and meticulous craftsmanship to create theatrical experiences that captivate your audiences and elevate your stage.
Theatre Productions
From critically acclaimed drama praised by The Telegraph and The Scotsman to award-winning pantomimes recognised at the UK Pantomime Awards - including Best Lighting, Best Sound and Best Comic - our work reflects a consistent commitment to excellence in storytelling, performance and production.
Pantomimes
Extraordinary people are the soul of our work - our directors, creatives, makers and technical teams bringing warmth, experience and unwavering passion to every detail, shaping bold ideas with care and quality into unforgettable live moments on your stage.
About us
Some of the most powerful storytelling happens in the detail, the texture of a set wall, the weight of a prop in an actor’s hand, the way a space transforms in front of an audience. Our workshops and production teams build sets and props with precision, pride and a deep understanding of what theatre demands.
Whether we’re producing for our own shows or supporting partner organisations, we create work that’s designed to be used, toured, handled, struck, rebuilt and still look exceptional under stage lighting.
Alongside our in-house builds, UK Productions offers prop and set hire for theatres, touring companies and events across the UK. Our hire stock is curated with quality in mind, pieces that look the part on stage, work practically in real-world performance, and arrive ready to support your story.
Production Hire
From the first draft to the final curtain, our work is defined by meticulous craft, exceptional scripts, standout casting, dynamic choreography, striking design, and technical excellence throughout. It’s this consistency, ambition and attention to detail that has earned the trust of leading venues across the UK, and why UK Productions creativity doesn’t just fill seats: it elevates the season.
Production Hire
We work in partnership with theatres, producers, creative teams, and venues nationwide and worldwide, bringing experience, scale, and a calm, professional approach to every production. Whether we’re touring drama, delivering pantomime, or supporting with set and prop services, we’re proud to be known for quality, reliability, and the kind of collaboration that makes work feel possible.
Production Hire
Whether you’re looking for a production partner, planning a pantomime season, or sourcing sets and props with real craft behind them, we’d love to hear from you.

Bournemouth Pavilion has found its Aladdin 🧞
We are delighted to announce that rising star Dante Nardone will take on the title role in this year`s pantomime, marking his professional pantomime debut. Trained at the prestigious ArtsEd, Dante is stepping straight from drama school into one of pantomime`s biggest roles, and he has the charisma to match.
Dante joins the previously announced company: James Cartwright as the wicked Abanazar, Bournemouth favourite Noel Brodie returning as Wishee Washee for his twelfth year, panto legend Jamie Steen as Widow Twankey and Kristel Herrera as Princess Jasmine.
Charming, courageous and full of ambition, Aladdin is one of pantomime`s best-loved heroes, and this Christmas Dante is set to bring fresh energy and star quality to Bournemouth Pavilion.
Aladdin runs at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre from Saturday 5 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027.

Mansfield, your Prince Charming has arrived 👑
Joseph Dockree joins the company of Cinderella at Mansfield Palace Theatre this Christmas as the dashing Prince Charming, ready to sweep Rosie Bentham`s Cinderella off her feet before the clock strikes midnight ⏰
Mansfield audiences will already know Joseph from last year, when he played Prince Fredrick in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Joseph also brings West End credits including Mrs Doubtfire and Mary Poppins to the role, and has even played Prince Charming before, in One Man`s Dream II at Tokyo Disneyland, so a ballroom and a glass slipper are nothing new ✨
Cinderella opens at Mansfield Palace Theatre on Saturday 21 November, and the search for a happy ever after starts here.
