TheatreCycle is a dedicated marketplace for schools, colleges, performing arts academies, amateur dramatic societies and theatre organisations to give costumes, props and staging a second life. Every year, thousands of items are used for a production and then stored away, discarded or forgotten, despite still having value for another organisation.

​

Our platform connects the performing arts community, making it easy to advertise surplus items, search for resources, and find the costumes, props or set pieces needed for your next production. Whether you are looking to sell, hire out, donate or source items, TheatreCycle helps organisations save money, reduce waste and support more sustainable theatre practices.

​

Getting started is simple. Create an organisation profile, choose a membership plan and begin listing available items or posting requests for resources you need. Members can showcase costumes, props, scenery, lighting and sound equipment, while buyers and hirers can search listings by category and location to find exactly what they are looking for.

TheatreCycle also features a dedicated trade directory, allowing theatre suppliers, costume makers, set builders and specialist service providers to connect directly with schools and performing arts organisations across the UK.

​

By encouraging reuse and collaboration, TheatreCycle helps reduce the environmental impact of theatre production while making performing arts more accessible and affordable for everyone. Join our growing community and help create a more sustainable future for theatre.
