The ultimate source for costume and prop hire
Carrie

If you’re hosting a themed event, lavish fancy dress party, or simply want to decorate a space for the evening with some weird and wonderful objects, then you need look no more in dull warehouse-style outlets or tacky high street party shops.  The National Theatre is on hand with a treasure trove of goodies.

The theatre has kept a fascinating, diverse and sometimes truly range of bizarre props and costumes from the hundreds of productions it has put on.  3 enormous walk-in storage containers will have you amused for hours – and whether you’re looking for a random collection of items or accommodating a specific theme, you will almost certainly walk away completely satisfied with your choices.  Stuffed animals, enormous pieces of painted scenery, costumes that have been worn by celebrities whilst playing roles varying from Henry VIII to Elvis, a startling collection of hand-held artefacts and lighting props are yours to explore, and you won’t be disappointed with the selection.

With some imagination and the time to take a really good look at the available products, you could kit out a party in just about any theme here.  Bloody rags from murder scenes, fake body parts and background scenes of desolate cities make an instant Zombie Apocalypse Party, while delicately detailed cloaks, a few opulent candle holders and flowing gowns make for a perfectly replicated 18th century Masquerade Ball.

Catering for both the commercial and the private market, you can choose to hire just a few to several lorry loads of props here, and deals are made depending on how much stock you claim for your event.  It’s a good idea to bring your Haggling Hat, but overall, you can find some really great bargains.
