A company performs on stage before a full traditional theatre

Theatre Hire Booking Software for the UK.

A hire is the get-in, the run and the get-out, and all three hold the auditorium whether or not an audience is in it.

The dark days hold the stage too.

A week in the house is a get-in, a tech, the run and a get-out. Two of those days sell no tickets and every one of them makes the stage unavailable.

  • Load-in is part of the booking

    The lorry arrives on the Monday and the set does not come down until Saturday night. Block the run and the room is committed for all of it.

  • One hire, many performances

    A season is one booking with one hirer and one price, not five separate nights that somebody has to keep in step by hand.

  • Nothing lands on your get-out

    The whole block leaves the page at once, so a wedding enquiry cannot be sold the Sunday morning your crew is still striking the set.

A month calendar with booking dots marking the busy days, the way venue and hire availability is read across weeks.

Who is on, and who is calling it.

A hire brings crew with it. The technical manager, the duty manager and the box office are all working the same week and need the same version of it.

  • Everyone on one week

    Give each of them their own login and the week they see is the week that is booked, rather than a forwarded email from a fortnight ago.

  • Changes travel

    Pull a get-in forward a day and it moves for everybody at once, with the company, the payment and the agreed plan still attached.

  • The studio stays sellable

    Holding the main house does not hold the rehearsal room, so a smaller hire can still take the space nobody in the run is using.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

Built for your venue

Built for every kind of venue hire

Amateur dramatic seasons

Offer the theatre time actually left; once taken, that auditorium block disappears before reception can promise it again.

Dance-school shows

Run a weekly or monthly theatre let on Free and give the recurring run a sensible final date.

Touring one-nighters

Protect the complete hire, including get-in, while useful time either side stays available.

School speech days

Attach the hirer and stage details, leaving rather less to reconstruct when the door opens.

Comedy nights

Keep the organiser and production week requirements in one record instead of the customary second email thread.

Rehearsal lets

Price a full week with the auditorium, the crew and the get-out as one itemised quote first.

A changed production week

Pull a get-in forward a day and the company, the payment and the agreed technical plan stay put.

Get-in and get-out

Take the resource offline for get-out while everything unaffected carries on booking normally.

An estimate with three line items, ready to send and convert into a booking.

Nobody hires a house without a quote.

The stage, the crew, the extra get-out hours and the rehearsal room, itemised on one document the company can approve online. The accepted version stays with the booking, so what was agreed in March is still readable in October.

Pro

The venue hire fee beside the booking.

Keep payment status with the performance block, including offline money recorded on Free and complete online card checkout on Pro.

  • Full card payment online

    Pro takes the complete venue hire fee when the performance block is booked online. Enter cash or bank transfer on Free.

  • Offline money stays recorded

    Record cash or bank transfer manually on Free, keeping the venue hire fee visible beside the performance block.

  • Longer work starts with a quote

    Send an itemised quote for the production week and agreed extras, then keep later payments with the accepted details.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your venue hire business.

Online booking

Offer performance days, rehearsals and dark-night hires around the auditorium diary. A confirmed show removes its full theatre block.

Scheduling

See get-in, rehearsals, performance and get-out on one theatre calendar, with the auditorium, stage and foyer clearly attached.

Standing bookings

Run a company’s rehearsal weekly or monthly on Free, ending after the final call rather than occupying the stage forever.

One stage, one hire

A confirmed hire removes the whole run, load-in through load-out, so a second company cannot be sold the Tuesday your set is going up.

Estimates

Itemise the production run, auditorium time and agreed equipment in a quote, retaining the accepted show scope for the booked day.

Email reminders

Email the company its stage, access time and venue notes ahead of scenery, cast or instruments reach the loading entrance.

Customers

Retain each company’s performances, room needs and payment history together as the next production week is proposed.

Team

Give the duty manager one view of companies, stage access and auditorium turns ahead of the first crew begins its get-in.

Payments

Enter cash or transfer for the show day on Free, or take the full venue hire fee by card as the auditorium is taken on Pro.
