Weapons of Mass Entertainment
Our Armories have a large range of Weapons to Hire for Stage and Screen Production, and can source Rare or Restricted Props when the occassion arises. Please see below for a Rough Guide to Prices, but bear in mind that these can vary according to Duration/Type of Hire/Weaponry. All Weapons provided are Legal within this Country for Theatrical and Cinematic Use. We can even Build from Scratch if you want something Truly Original, although this can be an Expensive Option
Swords for Hire
All of our Weapons are Tried and Tested for Stage Combat and Fighting for Screen, although the Rigours of Performance can always throw up some unforeseen issues! We can Demonstrate to Stage Managers and Art Departments how to Care for your Props, but For Film Work, we recommend that our Armourer is Present whenever the Weapons are being used in shot (whether fighting or not, I'm afraid). Daily Rates for the Armourer can be discussed when ordering Weaponry
