Backstage

Serious Stages is one of the leading providers of staging and structures for the live events industry.

Serious Stages grew from the one-and-only Glastonbury Festival, where we were integral in the installation of the now iconic-pyramid stage.

Our relationship with the Eavis family and Glastonbury has continued to grow, and we now install over 50 stages and structures across the site each year.

Passion for Entertainment

From those humble beginnings, began a passion for the entertainment industry and the growth of a business that can design, fabricate and install bespoke staging and structures projects across the globe.

From festival stages, to film studios, one day events, to custom designed bridges, our creative ethos is that we believe nothing
is impossible.

‘Our mission is to help our clients entertain people, by building brilliant things, in a brilliant way’.

Each summer season our festival kit travels across UK and Ireland, transforming into different event stages before being de-rigged and moved on to the next venue.

In May 2023 we installed a 40kw solar panel system at our head office site in Wells.

Our sister company Serious Energy, provides solar and renewable energy solutions. Serious Energy specialise complex on/off grid demountable energy systems used by many of our film stage clients.
