At Prop Dead Gorgeous we like to think big and are constantly adding to our vast collection of props!

Installations come in all shapes and sizes and many items are made bespoke for special client projects. After the event, these unique props then go into our general event prop hire catalogue ready to hire out.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise has proved very popular over the years and this years film ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ is no exception and on rather a large scale that has included Giant Toothbrushes, Tomb of Gloom Treasure Chest and a 30ft Seabed full of Skulls!

It’s taken a while – when you are as busy as we are, going from corporate events, retail promotions, and red carpet screenings to family fun days, there does not seem enough hours in the day to get everything done but we hope you think the finished site is worth the wait…

Hmm – did we say ‘finished?’ 

Well that’s not exactly true as the next step is really an ongoing project – to continue loading up as many of our wonderful props as we can for any theme you can think of from Giant Fairytales to Neon Underground, from Treasure Island to Carnival Crazy.

Our themes are always being updated as are our props which include Life Size Models, Artificial Foliage, Backdrops, Showsets, Event Furniture, Seasonal Decorations, Costumes, Banners, Buntings, Signage, Thrones, Grottos, Sleighs, Beauty Bars and goodness knows what else.

With so many great films coming out this year, movie themed events are all the rage – here are a few of our top picks!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is out this Summer, prompting a perfect opportunity to set the ‘ocean scene’ with our giant galleon, island palm trees and life size pirates.

‘Make Believe’ combines everything your dreams are made of! Giant multicoloured frogs, toadstools, giants, life size talking trees and mystical beasts… tying in perfectly with the release of such films as Beauty and the Beast, and some old favourites too – Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and Fantastical Beasts.

‘Superheroes’ is going to be massive this year and is all about impressive silhouetted cityscapes and vibrant pop art comic book cut outs – pack a punch with this vibrant and powerful theme!

‘Summer Lovin’ combines Californian surf boards, driftwood signs and all things beachy, and is just in time for the new Baywatch film which is on its way!

‘Showtime’ is as big as ever, and with our brand new selection of colourful stalls, games, ferris wheels and our life size land train (complete with sound effects of course), make an impact with your own funfair style event, packed with entertainment.

Another big one for 2017 is ‘Westworld,’ and we are bursting at the seams with all things ‘cowboy’… we’ve got wagon wheels, horses and hay bales, saloon doors and cacti, all ready to go!
