The Stage Bus to showcase their Stage Box at The Showman’s Show 2024

Sustainability isn’t just a fashionable fad for Birmingham-based mobile stage company The Stage Bus – they’ve been running their ingenious stages using the power of the Sun for over a decade and have been at the forefront of making events greener whilst everyone else was still catching up!

The small, independent company now boasts a fleet of eight mobile stages of varying capacities and as well as being solar-powered, they have been engineered with the environment in mind. Designed to be super-efficient, The Stage Bus stages arrive in one vehicle and need just one crew member to set up. In comparison, the competition will typically need up to four vehicles to transport a stage on site, saving on average 9000 litres of transport fuel per year – that’s 24,000 KG of CO2 fuel saved. As well as being environmentally efficient, the stages are also time efficient – needing around an hour to set up and the same time to pack away.

The Stage Bus has seen a sharp uptick in organisers actively seeking their services out due to their green credentials for single day and shorter term events. With more and more events needing to meet green targets, The Stage Bus is helping many of them meet their objectives. In addition to being fuel efficient, solar-powered and using smart engineering, The Stage Bus continues their green ethos at their HQ, carrying out all repairs and maintenance in-house and operating a zero to landfill policy. They heat their office with waste timber and are in the process of powering their workshop by solar power.  The team are also using their engineering know-how to electrify one of their lorries as an additional option for green-conscious clients and they are also switching the fuel for their vehicles to HVO, a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oil.

The Stage Bus team will be exhibiting their Stage Box at the Showman’s Show this year. The team launched their Stage Box concept unit in 2019 and has manufactured one a year since to meet demand for this innovative stage. Built into a shipping container, The Stage Box has a powerful Ohm Vela line array PA system which can cover up to 8000, hydraulic height-adjustable legs, a 90″ screen in the rear wall and full LED colour changing lighting rig with control. This unit can be easily installed as a modular system if stage-side screens are required or to be part of a larger modular installation. The Stage Box has provided stage and sound at the UEFA 2020 Euros Finals Fan Zone in Trafalgar Square, London Marathon’s Rainbow Row, Battersea Power Station and the Dr Marten’s Boot Fair amongst others.

As well as the Stage Box, the company has a range of other stages; from their smallest Camper Stage (a vintage Mark I Ford Transit Van which has been cleverly converted into a quirky mobile stage) playing to 500, to their show-stopping Truck Stage which plays to 8000, there is a sustainable stage solution for most events. Stage units are available for the smallest single-day events right up to longer term lease-hires.
