At Cover It Up, we pride ourselves on our deep understanding of the creative and technical fabric needs of event designers, producers, and art directors. With decades of industry experience, we are trusted partners in delivering both visual impact and practical solutions through expertly crafted stage and event drapes, theatre curtain backdrops, and tailored fabric installations.
Operating from our London headquarters, we supply, hire, deliver, and install across the UK and Europe—supporting projects that range from dramatic large-scale builds in temporary structures and arenas, to finely detailed work with some of the industry’s most acclaimed set designers.
Our dedicated account management team works closely with an exclusive list of high-end clients, offering personalised service on every job. Whether it’s a grand installation or a bespoke design challenge, we bring clarity, creativity, and craftsmanship to every curtain call.
From modest beginnings in 2000 with just three staff members and a worn-out Mercedes estate car, Cover It Up has grown into one of the UK’s most respected theatre curtain hire specialists. Today, we operate from a custom-built 5,000 sq ft warehouse in Camberwell, South East London, with a professional and expanding team, servicing major events and venues across the UK and Europe.
Over the decades, we’ve become a go-to provider for stage and theatre curtains, venue drapery, and custom event rigging. Our rigging division has flourished, offering a highly skilled crew fully trained in mobile access platforms and tower operations, ready to take on large-scale productions with ease and efficiency.
Thanks to our adaptability and “no job too difficult” approach, we’ve gained a competitive edge in the drapery market. We’re proud to have worked with a wide range of high-profile clients and venues—from the BAFTAs and WWE Wrestling Tour to the Natural History Museum and Got To Dance. We are also a preferred supplier for iconic locations such as Old Billingsgate Market and Westfield shopping centres.

Whether you’re producing a live broadcast, dressing an arena, or transforming an unconventional venue, our in-house team of designers and machinists can deliver stunning results using everything from classic wool serge to rich velvet velour.
