🎭 Every Performer Deserves the Same Stage
A stage isn’t just a platform — it’s a promise. A promise that every performer, regardless of ability, can share their voice, their story, and their talent equally. Yet for many, the journey onto that stage remains a struggle. Steps too steep. Platforms too heavy. Ramps too narrow.
That’s why NexGen Staging Limited — the UK leader in portable and modular staging — is redefining what accessibility means in performance spaces.
With their magnetic lock-free mobile stage system, NexGen brings together innovation, safety, and inclusivity — ensuring that every performer, from wheelchair users to school choirs, can share the same spotlight.
🌍 Accessibility: From Obligation to Opportunity
In today’s UK events landscape, accessibility isn’t a luxury — it’s a legal and moral standard.
Under the Equality Act 2010, venues must ensure equal access for all participants. But true inclusion extends beyond the audience.
Performers, speakers, and artists all deserve the same seamless experience.
NexGen mobile staging bridges that gap. Each system is designed to make stages safer, faster to assemble, and — most importantly — inclusive.
⚙️ Reimagining Mobility: Stages That Move With You
A stage that moves easily makes accessibility effortless. Unlike traditional fixed setups, NexGen mobile stages combine flexibility and precision:
-
Lightweight modular panels roll and lock into place effortlessly.
-
Magnetic lock-free technology eliminates bolts, clips, and tools.
-
Adjustable riser legs allow perfect leveling on uneven surfaces.
This design allows venues — from school halls in Manchester to community theatres in Edinburgh — to assemble inclusive performance spaces within minutes.
Mobility isn’t just convenience; it’s empowerment.
♿ The Folding Ramp That Opened the Door to Inclusion
Accessibility starts with the ramp — and NexGen Folding Disabled Access Ramp sets the standard.
Built from lightweight aluminium and featuring a non-slip surface, it folds neatly for storage yet unfolds into independence for performers using wheelchairs or mobility aids.
Pair it with NexGen 3x2m Portable Staging Package, and you create a performance setup that feels professional, safe, and fully compliant with UK accessibility guidelines.
Because inclusion should never feel like an add-on — it should feel like design done right.
🧲 The Magnetic Lock-Free Breakthrough
Every NexGen stage connects using precision-engineered magnetic joints, locking panels in place instantly.
No bolts. No tools. No fuss.
This not only speeds up assembly but also eliminates the common trip hazards found in older staging systems.
For event teams, it means:
-
Faster setup and pack-down times
-
Greater safety and reliability
-
Sleeker, cleaner stage lines
And for performers, it means freedom of movement — from the moment they roll, step, or dance onto the platform.
🧱 Step-Free Performance: Smooth, Safe, Seamless
Accessibility isn’t complete until every surface is truly level. NexGen stages feature flush-fit panel alignment, ensuring there are no steps, lips, or gaps. Every performer — from a wheelchair user to a ballet dancer — enjoys a smooth, uninterrupted surface.
With anti-slip decking and reinforced risers, safety is built into every inch. The result?
Confidence for performers. Peace of mind for organisers.

🏗️ Modular Freedom for Every Venue
No two performances are alike — and neither should their stages be. NexGen modular portable stage platforms allow full customisation:
-
Expand or reduce the size for different events
-
Combine multiple modules to create creative layouts
-
Integrate ramps, railings, or backdrops as needed
A local theatre might start with a compact 3x2m setup and later extend to 6x4m for full productions — using the same core components.
Scalable design means accessibility that grows with your ambitions.
🏫 Empowering Communities, One Stage at a Time
NexGen portable stages aren’t just for large venues — they’re transforming smaller UK spaces too.
In Schools
Students of all abilities can perform side by side. No exclusion. No workaround. Just confidence and equality.
In Churches
Many historic churches face architectural challenges. NexGen lightweight platforms make it simple to create accessible altars, choir stages, and ceremony platforms without permanent alterations.
In Community Centres
From local concerts to charity events, inclusive staging ensures everyone — audience and performer alike — can participate.
This is where accessibility becomes connection.
🧰 Quick Setup. Long-Term Impact.
Setting up a stage used to mean hours of frustration, tools, and manpower. NexGen changed that forever.
Each system is designed so two people can build a fully functional stage in minutes.
No engineers. No complex instructions.
Because true accessibility should exist behind the scenes too — giving organisers freedom and performers opportunity.
🪜 Safety and Strength That Perform Under Pressure
Safety isn’t an afterthought in NexGen’s design — it’s the backbone. Each stage complies with UK safety standards and features:
-
Reinforced aluminium frame construction
-
Non-slip surfaces suitable for all weather conditions
-
Adjustable risers for stable elevation
-
Optional handrails and guardrails for added protection
When performers feel safe, creativity takes centre stage.

🌱 Sustainable Staging for a Greener Future
Accessibility and sustainability should share the same platform.
NexGen stages are crafted using recyclable materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Their durability reduces waste and replacement costs — making them as kind to the planet as they are to people.
An inclusive stage that lasts for years is a victory for both performance and the planet.
💬 A Story That Defines Accessibility
A secondary school in Yorkshire once struggled to include a wheelchair-using student in their drama performance. Their old stage had no access ramp.
After installing a NexGen 3x2m Portable Stage with a Folding Disabled Access Ramp, everything changed.
Setup took just 25 minutes. The student rolled up the ramp, joined the cast, and performed under the same spotlight as everyone else.
It wasn’t just a play — it was a moment of pure inclusion. That’s what NexGen builds: stages that bring people together.
