Theatre

It’s where we all started.

Here are some of our recent builds and a selection of the older archive Theatre Scenery projects since we started in 2011

 Cruise Ship Scenery

Having been working on ships since 1999 we understand both the limitations of working at sea but also the possibilities of working in, quite often, more technologically advanced theatre spaces.

From full shows to installations such as our work on the Aurora refurbishing and reinstalling the disco truss working with your contractor.

Having worked on numerous ships whilst at sea, in dock and in dry dock we understand the security and safe working practices associated with such environments.

Only 40 minutes from Southampton we’re well placed for rapid response!

Cruise Ship Entertainment Scenery Specialists

Clockwork Scenery designs, engineers, fabricates and installs scenery for cruise ships worldwide. From new productions and venue refurbishments to technical scenic solutions and ongoing maintenance support, we help bring entertainment venues to life at sea.

Scenic Construction for Cruise Ship Entertainment

The entertainment spaces aboard modern cruise ships demand scenery that is visually impressive, technically robust and engineered to withstand the challenges of a marine environment.

Clockwork Scenery has extensive experience delivering scenic fabrication, scenic engineering and installation services for cruise ship theatres, show lounges, atriums, immersive venues and entertainment spaces. Working closely with production companies, creative teams and technical departments, we provide practical scenic solutions from concept development through to installation and commissioning.

Technical Design & Scenic Engineering

Our team supports projects from the earliest stages of development, providing technical design, value engineering, CAD drafting and 3D visualisation services.

Whether adapting an existing production for a new venue or developing a bespoke scenic environment from scratch, we work collaboratively with designers and creative teams to ensure concepts can be safely fabricated, transported and installed within the unique constraints of cruise ship environments.

 One Off Builds

We often get asked to fabricate the builds that no one else will!

We love a challenge and being multi discipline builders we can use our joinery skills mixed with our steel work, mixed with our plastics, polystyrene and electrical experience- You get the idea.

Having consulted and built a number of off the wall challenging builds we provide a sensible achievable solution.
