Technical Equipment and Costumes
The Trust owns a considerable amount of lighting equipment and staging, as well as our famous costume collection. At the discretion of the Trustees and in particular the technical heads of the relevant backstage departments for our company, we are pleased to loan out equipment and costumes for schools, colleges and amateur theatre groups
We typically aim to provide more affordable loan items than other suppliers amd we are also open to negotiating costs based on profit. Please email us to find out more.
