The men that started it all
Early Days & Old Jobs
From opera houses to television studios, Hall Stage has designed and built equipment for venues across the UK and the world. These early works reflect the innovation that continues to define us.
Former Sites
Hall Stage hasn’t always been located in Kent. The company has had many factories in locations such as Lambeth – London, Downham Market – Norfolk, Luton and Borehamwood on the doorstep of Elstree Studios and the East Enders set, to name but a few.
Nona Works
While in Lambeth, the site Hall Stage was on, originally known as the Anaconda Works, became affectionately called “Nona Works” as over time the lettering faded. The site remained the beating heart of Hall Stage’s craft and innovation for decades.
The Gate Studios
During the 80s and 90s Hall Stage shared a site in Borehamwood in the buildings of the Gate Studios, where in forma days, films such as As You Like It starring Laurence Olivier, where filmed.
