Unusual are the most experienced provider of rigging and stage engineering solutions in the UK. We maintain the largest market share for installation and touring of large scale shows and have an understanding of the needs of the theatre business, which is second to none.

All of the installation work undertaken by Unusual comes with the option of a full maintenance service contract. In addition, Unusual undertakes external servicing of lifting equipment and flying systems for theatres.
