Reay Events provides flexible production services built around your event — from single item dry hire through to fully operated packages with our team on site from load-in to get-out.
We work with theatre companies, live music promoters, corporate event organisers, festivals and private clients across the UK. Whatever the scale, whatever the venue, we bring the same level of preparation and professionalism to every job.
Sound system hire

Professional PA systems sized to your venue and audience. From compact systems for intimate studio theatre to large-format line arrays for concerts and outdoor events.
Every system is properly maintained, tested before delivery, and set up to give you the best possible sound in your specific space.
What’s included:
- Line array and point source PA systems
- Stage monitoring — wedge and in-ear
- Radio microphone systems — handheld, lapel and headset
- Front-of-house mixing desks
- Stage boxes, multicore and infrastructure
- Playback and broadcast integration
Available dry hire or fully operated with an experienced sound engineer on site.
Stage Lighting Hire
The right lighting transforms a space. Whether you’re lighting a stage for a week-long theatre run, creating atmosphere for a corporate dinner, or building a full rig for a live concert, we have the equipment and experience to make it work.
What’s included:
- Moving head spots and washes
- LED profile and fresnel fixtures
- Par cans and flood lighting
- Followspots
- Haze and fog machines
- Lighting control — desks, dimmer racks and DMX infrastructure
- Trussing and rigging equipment
- Architectural and venue uplighting
Available dry hire or fully operated with a lighting operator on site.

Full production packages
Sound and lighting combined, with our team handling setup, operation and get-out. The simplest option for clients who want everything managed professionally without coordinating multiple suppliers.
Full production packages are tailored to your event — tell us your venue, dates, audience size and what you’re trying to achieve and we’ll put together a package that works.
Dry hire vs operated — which is right for you?
Dry hire — equipment delivered, set up if required, and collected after your event. Suited to productions with their own experienced operators who know what they need and how to run it.
Operated — our team on site throughout, handling setup, programming, operation and get-out. Suited to clients who want a professional handling the technical side so they can focus on the event itself.
