Outerstage was set up a few years ago by Peter Barlow to provide mobile staging and imaginative event technical support and expertise to smaller events. Peter's experience includes Theatre (RSC, Northern Stage etc), circus ( Circus OZ) corporate communications and arts festivals ( Edinburgh). We have put together a portfolio of equipment that can lift a smaller event from being a 'might see' to a

'must see'. We are keen to ensure we don't wreck the environment and use LPG to power our generators and we try to bring everything we need for an event in one vehicle. We understand tight budgets and will come up with creative ways to get the best from any available budget.

Bit of a windy day today and lots of events have been cancelled due to high winds. However the Royal Navy is never daunted by a gentle gale and moved the cricket screens to make it a little less blowy for the musicians. devonport

Facebook has informed us that approximately 11 years ago we did our first show with our newly acquired Stageline mobile stage. The event was for BBC Children in Need and happened at the Eden Project in . When we first saw the SL50 we knew it was a fantastic bit of design and engineering totally built to last. Every time we build it we get people coming up to us amazed that the relatively small trailer 'transforms' into a full size stage especially when we are using the extension decks. We pass on our thanks to all our customers and all the technicians that have worked with us over the years.

A fantastic day with the Stageline SL50 at Duloe Ale and Cider Festival. Great weather fantastic bands and some mighty fine ale and cider. Duloe is the home of Cornishorchards so a good showing from them. We did the full production for this event with our Mackie HDA line array. For the first time we used our new line array weather covers which keep the worst of the rain off ( and provides some shade too). Thanks to all the Duloe Ale and Cider Festival team who put this community event together so brilliantly.

Stoke village funday 2022 here in Plymouth. Had to leave a 1M gap on one side for Pedestrians and 6M fire corridor on the other as well as not blocking any resident's gates Our is just right for tight urban situations. Great turnout for this event and really handy for the pub! Actually, this bit of the town has about 6 pubs in 100m of road so wherever we put the stage would be convenient.

We were working for our friend's at Clockwork Audio Systems who provided lighting and sound courtesy of the KV2 system. They also booked the tribute acts and they have a Tribute Act Festival in Plymouth coming up in August.

Armed Forces Day 2022 on Plymouth Hoe.

We had to wait until the Merlin landed before we could build the stage due to the downdraft. our stage was the Plymouth Youth Music Services stage and we had some fantastic young musicians entertaining the crowds.

Event technical was by our friends at JHAV who did a fantastic job over the entire site which included 2 performance stages and two arenas.

Despite the strong wind and unpredictable downpours it was a fantastic day

Setting up for the celebration day in Torpoint, Cornwall. First time we have had all our extension decks on a job to create a 28ft x 20ft (note the use of imperial measures just for fun) stage deck. The event runs all day Friday and there will be fireworks on the river.

Life's a beach, set up on Blackpool Sands near Salcombe for a private beach party. Not often the stage gets pulled by 3 different vehicles in one day.

Our Story

Outerstage was set up a few years ago by Peter Barlow to provide mobile staging and imaginative event technical support and expertise to smaller events. Peter's experience includes Theatre (RSC, Northern Stage etc), circus ( Circus OZ) corporate communications and arts festivals ( Edinburgh). We have put together a portfolio of equipment that can lift a smaller event from being a 'might see' to a 'must see'. We are keen to ensure we don't wreck the environment and use LED lighting fixtures where possible and efficient amplifiers to reduce power needs ( typically well under 5KW). Our silenced generators are closely matched to the demand to run efficiently and run on clean burning LPG ( propane) which does not produce particulates like diesel. We alway try to incur as few ‘event miles’ as possible in getting everything we need in the right place that means using local suppliers and lightweight equipment like the SL50 stage which is mostly aluminium. We understand tight budgets and will come up with creative ways to get the best from any available budget.

Safety is key in the events industry and we adhere to all relevant safety standards and apply a pragmatic approach to risk management. Our Stageline SL50 is approved by Westminster Council surveyors as a temporary structure and they are one of the toughest councils to please. We understand terms like ‘dynamic load’ and windage so you don’t have to.
