Schools & Amateur Groups

Information for educational, amateur, and re-enactment group clients.

Schools and Colleges

We regularly supply schools and colleges with items for their productions. Students love wearing authentic theatrical costumes – especially if they discover the name of a famous actor inside!

Teachers and designers will find stock accessible and well categorised for easy selection; our clear pricing structure is useful for budgeting, and we offer a special discount for educational groups.

What our customers say:

'An inspiration… staff are helpful, understanding and incredibly knowledgable.'
Ambrose Hogan, Grey Coat Hospital School

'The service is first class and the costs very reasonable. I wouldn't consider looking anywhere else'
Head of Drama, Alleyn's School, Dulwich.

'Not only a practical and well-priced costume source, but also an inspiration to both the designer and the actor.'
Judy Steadham, Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art

 

Amateur Organisations and Re-enactment Societies

Our amateur theatrical and opera clients can hire a single item or a complete production, and our itemised bar-coded inventories make hiring and returning items easy and efficient.

Our expanding armoury is particularly appealing to historical re-enactment groups.

‘An invaluable collection… well documented and easy to access.’
Claire Christie, Costume Supervisor/Designer
