Festival-Ready Rehearsal & Prep Space for Touring Productions

A private rehearsal base in London for touring productions, preparing upcoming performances. Suitable for medium-scale shows, full-day rehearsals, and multi-day bookings.

A Practical Rehearsal Base in London

London is a common stopping point for touring productions during festival season, theatre remounts, and schedule transitions. Before performances begin, companies typically need time to run the show from start to finish, make adjustments, and re-establish rhythm across cast, band, and crew.

Soundstage Studios provides a calm, reliable rehearsal HQ for this stage of the touring schedule. Located in Park Royal, the studio is used by touring companies who need privacy, exclusive access, and a working environment that allows rehearsals to proceed without interruption.

A Medium-Scale Space Designed for Touring Rehearsals

Soundstage Studios comprises several connected spaces used together during rehearsals. The main rehearsal/performance area provides approximately 1,600 sq ft of open, unobstructed floor space, with around 4 metres of ceiling clearance.

The central rehearsal space is typically used for:

  • Full-company rehearsals
  • Running the show from start to finish
  • Playback, click, and cue checks
  • Working through timing, pacing, and transitions

Supporting rooms sit alongside the main space, allowing technical, production, and organisational work to take place without encroaching on the rehearsal floor. This keeps the performance area clear and allows performers, musicians, and crew to experience the show in context.

Whilst the studio cannot replicate every aspect of a large outdoor stage or a full-scale theatre stage, it provides ample space for many shows to be run in full, with only minor adjustments where required.

Multi-Day Rehearsals

Full-day and consecutive-day bookings are available for touring productions requiring dedicated rehearsal time in London.

Focused Technical Assistance

Festival and theatre preparation typically involves practical checks rather than major production builds. The Soundstage Studios team can assist with setup and help resolve technical issues as they arise.

Where equipment problems occur, issues can be handled in the workshop away from the rehearsal floor so sessions continue without interruption.

Clear, Realistic Logistics

Soundstage Studios is located in Park Royal, just off the A40 at Gypsy Corner, with direct access to the M1, M4, and M25, convenient links to Heathrow, and outside the Congestion Charge Zone.
