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.
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.

Talk about a glow-up... ✨
Swipe to see the transformation of this Dick Whittington backcloth, lovingly restored and reimagined by the brilliant Jay and Jess in the UK Productions Scenic Workshop! 🎨
Taking an existing design and breathing extraordinary new life into it, the two have worked their magic on every detail: refreshing the colour, deepening the contrast, and bringing a richness to the scene that makes it feel completely brand new. It is the same backcloth... but not as you know it! 🖌️
We are so proud of the talent we have right here in our own workshop. Jay and Jess, what a transformation! 🙌✨

117 PERFORMANCES. 15 VENUES. 1 FINAL WEEKEND.
From Nottingham to Dublin, from Bath to Blackpool, The Beekeeper of Aleppo has taken audiences on a journey that has stayed with them long after the curtain falls. This weekend, it plays its final performances at Theatre Royal Brighton — and if you haven`t seen it yet, this is your last chance. 🎭
Based on Christy Lefteri`s International No.1 Bestselling novel, this is a story of love, loss, resilience and what it truly means to find your way home. Night after night it has moved audiences to their feet — and the critics have said everything we could ever hope to say:
★★★★★ "Emotionally charged and beautifully staged. A truly must-see production." — The Reviews Hub
★★★★★ "Its impact lingered long after the final applause, and I found myself needing a moment to wipe away my tears and gather my composure before leaving my seat." — Fairy Powered Productions
★★★★★ "This is vital, must-see theatre — a production that reminds audiences of the power of storytelling to illuminate the realities of those too often unheard." — Elemental Theatre
"It`s impossible not to be moved by Lefteri`s plea for humanity." — The Guardian
"A story of loss, love, resilience and hope... it`s impossible not to be moved." — The Observer
