A stage designed around your playground

From a small storytelling spot to a covered performance area, we can shape your stage around the space available and how children will use it. These examples offer ideas for your own design, with different backdrops, seating and layouts for drama, music and imaginative play.

Customise your stage

We can help you work through how children will get onto the stage, where an audience might sit and how the space will be used between performances. Details we can adapt include:

  • Open or covered layouts
  • Access options, including ramps
  • The number and height of backdrop and side panels
  • Activity panels, whiteboards and chalkboards
  • The number and arrangement of benches
  • Storage options

Audience seating can be planned alongside the stage. Explore our playground seating options for benches and other seating ideas.

Let’s create your stage

Whether you have a clear idea or are looking for inspiration, we’ll help you develop a design that works for your school. We can start with a chat, look at photos of your space or arrange a visit.

Our free playground design service can include 3D designs to help you visualise your new stage.
