Less than a year ago, Star Events Group came up with the inspired idea to create a mobile orbit dome stage. The idea was to provide the outdoor event scene with a versatile stage that has all the benefits of the Orbit roof's high weight loading capacity and elegant aesthetics, combined with the flexibility and quick build times of the mobile trailer stages. The final result was a 13m dome stage that can be built from start to finish in around five hours by just five crew. The erection of the roof is simple and quick and the PA system can be suspended from the two cranes that are an integral part of the stage, positioned either side of the unit, negating the need for expensive forklift hire and PA towers.
Helen Marchant, event organiser for Chatsworth Estate wrote: "Thank you very much indeed for all your help in making Saturday evening such a success. The new stage seems to be very successful and it fitted our purpose very well indeed. I am sure it will prove to be a very beneficial addition to your fleet this year."
Despite the Morbit only being finished in early June, it is already completely booked throughout the summer. Jane Russen, director of Star Mobile Division says: "This is an excellent addition to the mobile fleet. It really has been exciting watching the stage evolve from conception through to it making its first debut appearance at such a spectacular venue as Chatsworth House."
Star Events Group will be showcasing the Morbit at this year's Showman's Show and details of the stage can be found on the company website.
