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.

Villainy takes practice, and who better to teach it than the ship`s most loyal first mate? 😈 Miss Rory (@missroryblvd) is back as Captain Hook in The Further Adventures of Peter Pan, and before she takes to the Sunderland Empire stage she`s had a crash course from Tom Whalley`s (@thetomwhalley) Smee in the art of the perfect evil laugh. Did it work? You be the judge... 🎭 Get ready to boo, hiss and hide your treasure this Christmas, because the most dastardly captain on the seven seas is sailing back into Sunderland. Which evil laugh gets your vote: Hook`s or Smee`s? 👇

York, brace yourselves... Captain Hook is sailing back into port this Christmas! ⚓️🏴☠️
Prowling the deck once more is @realtomlister as the fearsome Captain Hook. Known to millions as Carl King in Emmerdale and a genuine musical theatre powerhouse (42nd Street, Calamity Jane, Legally Blonde), Tom even walked away with Best Villain at the Great British Pantomime Awards. Consider yourselves warned...
At his side, comedy favourite @jimmyjohnbryant swaps his Buttons boots for Smee`s stripes, bringing his trademark chaos back to the Grand Opera House stage after storming the panto last year. 😂
Sprinkling fairy dust throughout is @realhollya, known to a generation from Nick Jr`s Go! Go! Go!, ready to dazzle York with sparkle and sass as Tinker Bell. ✨
And leading the adventure, West End star @joe_sleight_ returns to the Grand Opera House (last seen breaking hearts as Eddie in Blood Brothers) to play the boy who never grew up himself... Peter Pan! 🗡️
Hook, Smee, Tinker Bell and Pan... the battle for Neverland is coming to York this December.

Basingstoke, get ready... panto royalty is heading to The Anvil this Christmas! 🏰✨
Leading the charge as our beautiful Belle is @elliedadd_, known and loved as Amy Mitchell in EastEnders and for treading the West End boards in Matilda the Musical. 🌹
Alongside her, the brilliantly funny @christopherpizzey returns as Louis, best known for his role as Mr Stephen in the BAFTA-nominated The Basil Brush Show. 😂
And there is a very special welcome back... @sarahjanebuckley is returning to Basingstoke after a decade away to sprinkle her magic as Fairy Bon Bon! Best known as Kathy Barnes in Hollyoaks, Sarah Jane has been part of the UK Productions panto family for over twenty years, and we could not be happier to have her home. ✨🪄

Aylesbury, consider yourselves warned... darkness is heading for the Waterside Theatre this Christmas! 🖤 We are thrilled (and a little terrified) to announce that West End star Jordan Lee Davies is casting a curse as the Bad Fairy in this year`s Sleeping Beauty. Jordan`s stage credits speak for themselves: from Elder McKinley in The Book of Mormon to the original cast of Bat Out of Hell, and most recently touring the UK as Mary Sunshine in Chicago... stealing scenes is nothing new. Now Jordan brings that talent to Aylesbury with one mission: to make sure this princess never wakes up. 🕯️✨ Will good triumph over evil or will the darkness win this Christmas? There`s only one way to find out... but be ready to boo louder than ever before! 🎭🖤
