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.
PantomimesExtraordinary 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.

Blackpool, a familiar face is heading back to the Grand... 💚 Oh yes he is! We are thrilled to welcome the brilliant Ben Harlow back to the Blackpool Grand stage this Christmas, this time taking on the legendary role of Dame Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk! 🫛✨
Blackpool already knows exactly what he can do. Ben lit up the Grand as Widow Twankey in Aladdin and now he’s returning to the seaside he clearly loves to lead the laughs all the way up the beanstalk. 🌱
With Steve Royle’s Silly Simon and Lisa George as the Spirit alongside him, this is shaping up to be a giant of a Christmas. Expect huge heart, even bigger laughs and a Dame with all the warmth Blackpool fell for the first time round. 🎭

Blackpool, you know this face... and you know exactly what you`re in for! 🎭 Oh yes you do!
We are thrilled to announce that the one and only Ben Harlow is returning to the Blackpool Grand Theatre stage as Dame Trott in this year`s giant of a panto, Jack and the Beanstalk! 🌱✨
Blackpool audiences will remember Ben as the LEGENDARY Widow Twankey in Aladdin, where he had the Grand in stitches night after night with his outrageous frocks, towering wigs and quick-as-a-flash wit. He`s a Grand favourite for good reason, and now he`s back where he belongs... bigger, bolder and battier than ever! 👗💅
And here`s the cherry on top: he`ll be reunited with Blackpool`s own Steve Royle, so expect double the chaos, double the silliness and a whole lot of trouble up that beanstalk. 🫘😂
So get ready Blackpool. Dame Trott is coming home, and Christmas at the Grand just got a whole lot funnier.
