Once you've decided a stage is right for you, how to you choose which one? With so many options out there, it can be hard to decide what would be best for your event. Keep reading to find out what can help you decide.

Whether your event is a showcase from the local dance troop, town band, DJ, or a large scale production with full rock bands, the stage becomes the centre of attention at the event, and getting the right one for the right price is crucial to the success of the event.

Here are some things to consider when looking for the right stage.

Space

Where are you holding the event? Is it indoors or outdoors? How much space do you have to accommodate a stage? A town centre event and a festival in a field will have very different space allocations and therefore different requirements from the stage. 

Event size

How many people are you expecting? If it’s under a couple of hundred, your stage can be smaller and not affect the overall atmosphere of the event. If however, you are expecting thousands then you will need something larger so everyone can see the performances.

Acts

How many acts are you having? What type of performances are they giving (dance shows, acoustic solo acts, full blown orchestra)? Which act is your largest and how big is it? This will help you figure out the size of the stage you require.
