Description

The Compact Roadshow Stage is our versatile 5m × 4m side-opening mobile trailer stage. It provides a professional covered performance area with rapid deployment, making it well suited to town centres, schools, community events, private venues and smaller festival sites.

Planning and booking

Want us to handle the production? You do not need to choose technical equipment yourself. Tell us your event date, location, audience size, timings and what is happening on stage, then contact JJL. We can recommend the stage, sound, lighting and power, and quote the engineers or technicians needed to run the event.

Choosing equipment yourself? Add your preferred stage and add-ons to your enquiry and submit your enquiry. If you or your production supplier will provide consoles, microphones or crew, tell us what you are supplying so we can check the connections and avoid duplicating equipment. We will confirm suitability, availability, delivery, staffing and the quotation before the booking is confirmed.

Choose the production package you need

Browse the Mobile Stage Trailers and add-ons, Roadshow Stage add-ons, Festival Stage add-ons and Shared Stage Add-ons.

Shared Stage Add-ons — for either mobile stage. M1, M2 and M3 provide the mixer and microphone packages; MON1 Four-Speaker Stage Monitor Package supplies separate stage monitors; FOH1 adds a covered front-of-house operating position. Choose these alongside the PA and lighting add-ons for your selected stage.

The stage can be hired by itself or combined with our modular production add-ons. PA systems are separate from mixers and microphones, so you can choose the combination your event needs or use suitable input equipment of your own.

1. Choose an audience PA system: R-S1 Essential PA offers two 12-inch speakers; R-S2 Enhanced PA offers four 12-inch speakers for audience coverage; R-S3 Zenith Live PA adds two 18-inch subwoofers to four 12-inch speakers; R-S4 Zenith Festival PA includes twin-12-inch mains, four 18-inch subwoofers and four included stage monitor speakers. We will confirm the suitable configuration for your site and programme.
2. Choose one mixer and microphone package if required: M1 Playback & Two Vocal uses a FLOW 8 with two wired SM58 microphones. M2 Playback & Four Wireless Vocal uses a FLOW 8 with four Sennheiser EW-DX handheld microphones, with a mixer upgrade available if required. M3 Live Band includes an X32 Rack, two SD8 stageboxes, wireless vocals, drum and instrument microphones and DI boxes. These shared packages are available with either mobile stage, or you can supply suitable equipment of your own.
3. Choose lighting: R-L1 Basic Wash or R-L2 Performance Lighting.
4. Choose event power if required: our Roadshow Solar & Battery Power add-on can be selected according to your equipment, operating time and available site supply.
5. Add anything event-specific: sound engineer, additional microphones, MON1 Four-Speaker Stage Monitor Package, technicians and other production equipment can be added as required.
6. Add a front-of-house position if required: FOH1 provides a covered 3m × 2m raised platform, stage-deck work table, audio and lighting connections, cable protection and suitable power.

For our standard setup, production racks are grouped neatly in a rear corner of the stage and controlled wirelessly. Add FOH1 Covered Front-of-House Position for a dedicated covered, raised operating area in the audience. Audio consoles and lighting desks for FOH are selected separately for each job; compatible client-supplied desks can also be accommodated.

Suitable audience coverage depends on the programme, required sound level, audience layout, distance, site noise limits and weather conditions.

Tell us the expected audience size, event timings and the number and type of performers. We will recommend the appropriate combination before confirming the booking.

Every event is planned around site access, ground conditions, production requirements and the programme of performances. Our team can provide the stage alone or a complete production package.

Delivery and collection are calculated separately based on the event location from our RH19 base. The stage is supplied on a delivered-and-installed basis only.

Weekday and Community Pricing

We want professional staging to remain accessible to schools, charities, councils and organisations supporting their local communities.

• Weekday events: 15% off the stage hire price for qualifying events taking place Monday to Thursday.
• Charity, education and public-sector events: 25% off the stage and eligible stage add-ons.
• Community weekday events: 35% off the stage hire price, with 25% off eligible stage add-ons.

Community pricing is available for direct bookings from registered charities, schools, academies, colleges, universities, councils, government bodies and other approved non-profit community organisations.

Discounts cannot be combined; we will apply the best eligible rate. Delivery, collection, technicians, crew, travel costs, consumables and externally sourced equipment are charged at their normal rates. Weekday pricing excludes bank holidays and normally requires the stage to be available for collection by Friday morning.

Eligibility may need to be verified and all discounts remain subject to availability. VAT is applied where applicable.

Stage monitors

Stage monitors help performers hear themselves. Choose MON1 Four-Speaker Stage Monitor Package if separate monitoring is required. M1, M2 and M3 mixer and microphone packages do not include monitor speakers. R-S4 already includes four monitors powered by its Zenith rack; only add MON1 there for additional monitors. R-S3’s four 12-inch speakers can be used for audience coverage or split between two audience speakers and two monitors, as agreed for your event.
