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 actorâs 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 weâre producing for our own shows or supporting partner organisations, we create work thatâs 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. Itâs this consistency, ambition and attention to detail that has earned the trust of leading venues across the UK, and why UK Productions creativity doesnât 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 weâre touring drama, delivering pantomime, or supporting with set and prop services, weâre proud to be known for quality, reliability, and the kind of collaboration that makes work feel possible.
Production Hire
Whether youâre looking for a production partner, planning a pantomime season, or sourcing sets and props with real craft behind them, weâd love to hear from you.

Mansfield, your Prince Charming has arrived ð
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 â°
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 âĻ
Cinderella opens at Mansfield Palace Theatre on Saturday 21 November, and the search for a happy ever after starts here.

Aylesbury, the line-up is set. âĻ
This is the company waiting for you at the Waterside Theatre this Christmas, and Sleeping Beauty is shaping up to be a proper night out.
Laura Main brings the magic as Fairy Snowfall, much loved as Shelagh Turner in Call the Midwife and swapping Poplar for the palace. ð§ââïļ
Facing her across the spell is Jordan Lee Davies as Carabosse, fresh from Les Miserables and Chicago and ready to give Aylesbury a villain worth every single boo. ðĪ
Aylesbury`s very own Andy Collins is back where he belongs as Lester the Jester, because Christmas at the Waterside simply does not start until the BBC Three Counties breakfast host is on that stage causing chaos. ðĪŠ
West End star and panto legend Leon Craig returns as our Dame, Nanny Nora, with a frock budget we are still recovering from, and Milkshake!`s David Ribi is Prince Vincent, charming enough to wake anyone from a hundred year nap. ð
Spinning wheels, wicked spells, glorious silliness and a Prince worth waiting for. Sleeping Beauty opens at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Friday 4 December. ð
