Cinderella Mercury Theatre Colchester

In the summer of 2014, Theatrical Threads were delighted to hire a Buttons Bellboy Costume to the Mercury Theatre in Colchester for a photo shoot.

The picture is now being used to advertise their 2014 pantomime, Cinderella.

Great to see actor, Dale Superville in our costume. If you are local to Colchester, why not go and see the show which runs from 5th December 2014 to 11th January 2015

If you would like to hire any of our costumes for a pantomime or stage show advertising photo shoot, please contact us via our website

Xtreme Scream Park!

If you live in the Midlands and love Halloween then why not book tickets for Twinlakes Theme Park Halloween events this year.

Twinlakes are staging their Family Scream Park events and, for the first time in 2013, a new attraction called Xtreme Scream!

Family Scream Park is open from 19th October until 3rd November with pumpkin carving, scary characters and creepy ghosts for all ages.

Xtreme Scream Park  (over 12's only) is open on 11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th and 27th October and features no less than five scare mazes including Curtains Chaos.

The Oxford Dictionary states that “Coulrophobia is the irrational fear of clowns.” Once inside this labyrinth of colour and noise you will discover that this phobia is not so irrational. Curtains Chaos is a sick and twisted fantasy overrun by rogue clowns. Are YOU ready for playtime?

Theatrical Threads are very pleased to have been involved in Twinlakes Halloween events this year, by supplying ex-hire clown costumes which the actors will be wearing.

So, Send in the Clowns... or in this case BEWARE of the clowns!

Twinlakes Park is situated at Melton Spinney Rd, Melton Mowbray Leicestershire LE14 4SB

Other Theme Parks in the UK also run Halloween themed events such as Thorpe Park's Fright Nights (#FrightNights) Chessington's Halloween Hocus Pocus and Alton Towers ScareFest (#ScareFest)

If you are visiting any Theme Park Halloween events this year, why not buy a Halloween mask from Theatrical Threads...

Nana Treads the Boards in Barrow with Peter

Nana the Dog is off on her adventures again, this time to Cumbria, or Walney Island, near Barrow in Furness to be precise for another musical production of Peter Pan!

If you live in the Barrow in Furness area then you can meet Nana on stage at The Forum in Barrow from Tuesday 13th to Saturday 17th November as Walney Musical Theatre Company perform Peter Pan - A Musical Adventure

Nana first appeared on stage in 2009 at The Rhoda McGaw theatre for the Summerscales Performing Arts (Karen Clarke Theatre Company) production of Peter Pan The British Musical and she has since performed in approx. 8 different shows around the country.

When she is not treading the boards, Nana likes nothing better than raising money for charity and being used for publicity for shows, usually by giving small children plenty of hugs (and the odd lolly or two!)

Do Coat Hangers Breed?

It would appear so... we have spent today at the Theatrical Threads costume hire store

There are some lovely gaps now from the sale of our Halloween costumes (which have all now been filled again with other stock) and we have been having a pre Christmas sort out, collecting additional nativity sales stock, moving shelving and generally having a sort out!

It soon became clear that whilst our backs have been turned, the coat hangers have been breeding. For some strange reason there seemed to be not only boxes EVERYWHERE half full of hangers but also hangers on the ends of rails, middles of rails and on the floor under the rails, hiding and hoping no one would find them

It was time for some serious downsizing!!!

How many coat hangers is too many ? Errrrrr ... this many!!!

Halloween Costume SALE!

Looking for something a little different for a halloween costume this year?

With Halloween approaching in just a few weeks time, Theatrical Threads are having a SALE! We have a large range of halloween stock, which has previously been used for stage shows and fancy dress hire which ALL has to go!

Do you remember where you were the night Elvis died? Well, tonight's the night. Boogie Nights-The Musical tells the hilarious and heart-warming story of Roddy, a Jack-the-lad, whose life of birds, booze and boogie is about to be turned upside down.

It's the night that the King, E...lvis Presley, died and Roddy O'Neill is busy dreaming of life as a rock star! Debs, his girlfriend, has her own thoughts... basically that Roddy is a selfish, arrogant, horrible, unfeeling, rude, heartless pig! But the truth is that Roddy is in love with Debs, and Debs is in love with Roddy, but Debs knows that her Roddy has more than a roving eye! Through all their tears and laughter - can they both find what they are truly searching for?

Packed with all the greatest Disco classics Boogie Nights-The Musical will have the audience up on its feet doing The Bump and The Hustle, and funking along to the grooviest chart topping hits like 'You Sexy Thing',' Y.M.C.A.', 'I Will Survive', 'In The Navy', 'Can You Feel The Force', 'I Love To Love', 'Boogie Wonderland' and many many more!
