Staging Structures That Wow – The Stage Bus

The Stage Bus is a mobile stage hire company based in Birmingham, who have been designing and manufacturing solar-powered, fully-integrated stages for almost two decades. Covering events nationwide, The Stage Bus have been making waves in the events industry for their green and efficient approach to mobile staging.

Starting with a single stage converted from a vintage double-decker bus, the company have expanded to hold a fleet of eight stages – from cute and quirky to slick and powerful. The fleet includes stages catering to audiences ranging from 500 to 8,000 people, from their baby Camper Stage (a converted Ford Transit van) to the show-stopping Truck Stage. All of their stages are designed to take the hassle out of stage hire, with PA, lighting and mics, monitors and mixers included and a sound engineer to run the stage for the client is also included in the package. All stages operate on solar energy, eliminating the need for generators and reducing carbon footprints.

All eight stages can run for 8 hours with power provided from the on-board solar batteries and after that, additional solar batteries can be supplied and switched into if clients want to stay fully solar, or they can plug into on-site power, using an extremely low power draw (in theory, even the largest Stage Bus unit could be powered from the socket that you use to plug your TV into!)

The Stage Bus has seen uptake of its newest concept and premium stage ‘The Stage Box’ take off rapidly since the pandemic. The Stage Box is a unique take on mobile staging – built into a slick, black shipping container with hydraulic legs that can be height adjusted, this impressive unit can cover crowds of up to 8000. It can be driven into position and ready to go within an hour of arriving on-site, making it a great option for when time is of the essence. It also has a bespoke lighting rig and a 90″ inch screen integrated into the rear wall. The Box unit can be easily branded, from simple skirt and speaker banners to a full unit wrap. The Stage Box can be used as a truck-mounted stage or detached and left on-site, providing flexibility for different event setups. The Stage Box has been on the road at various high-profile events, including the UEFA Euro 2020 Fan Zone in London’s Trafalgar Square, The King’s Coronation Event at Battersea Power Station, Pride in London and London Marathon’s Rainbow Row.

From their smallest Camper Stage to their largest Truck Stage, 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.
