Who we are

  • The Curious Theme Factory is a creative workshop in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, crafting bespoke props, costumes, and scenic designs for theatre and events. We bring imagination to life — from the spark of an idea to the final applause.

Why Work With Us

  • From sketch to stage – We handle the entire process: concept, build, hire or delivery, and full setup.

  • Handcrafted excellence – Every piece blends theatrical realism with stunning, detailed design.

  • Flexible options – Hire from our collection or commission a one-of-a-kind creation for your production.

  • Trusted by the industry – We’ve built for stages including Scarborough Spa, Harrow Arts Centre, and The Barnsley Civic.

  • Our Vision - At our core is a passion for storytelling through design. Whether we’re dressing a stage or transforming an event space, we aim to create moments that linger — visually rich, emotionally powerful, and full of character.

Let’s Create Something Extraordinary

  • Need unique stage elements or themed props? Tell us your vision, and we’ll make it real.
