Star cloth and event drape hire across Scotland
Create a polished stage backdrop, transform a venue or conceal areas with professionally installed star cloths and event draping.
A professional backdrop for stages and event spaces
OSAV supplies star cloths and event drapes for conferences, awards ceremonies, gala dinners, presentations, exhibitions and live events across Scotland. They can provide an attractive background, help define a stage or presentation area and improve the appearance of a room.
We offer a wide range of full-RGBW LED Starcloths. These are available in black or white from our rental stock and provide a stunning backdrop to any event. In addition, we have a full stock of black wool serge drapes available in various sizes to cover every space.
The right solution depends on the venue, available space, required coverage, stage layout, access and the visual effect you want to achieve. We plan the draping alongside your lighting, screens, sound, and staging requirements so that the finished setup functions as a single event environment.

Planned for your venue
Before recommending a solution, we consider the room, stage and installation requirements. Useful information includes:
- Venue and room dimensions
- Required width and height of coverage
- Stage position and layout
- Existing screens, lighting, set or branding
- Approved fixing or support positions
- Access, setup and removal times
- Audience sightlines and camera positions
- The desired colour, finish and atmosphere
Combine draping with event lighting
Lighting can bring conventional drapes to life and complement the points of light within a star cloth. Planning both elements together helps balance the backdrop with presenters, screens, photography and video.

Are the cloths suitable for use in event venues?
