Venue & stadia development.
Star Live has a long history of providing a range of consultancy, design and technical services to stadia and venues.
From the installation of Mothergrids that significantly increase the rigging capacity and create safer working environments to the building of house reduction systems and centre-hung screens and scoreboards to increase flexibility and sightlines, Star Live is an industry leader in all aspects of design, refurbishment or legacy transformation of venues and stadia.
Through engineering expertise and practical design thinking, we support our clients in developing adaptable environments that align with evolving business goals.
How we transform your venue experience.
Mothergrids & ground supports.
Star Live specialises in light-weight steel Mothergrids and ground support systems that form the main structural support for incoming productions. There are multiple benefits to Mothergrids and ground supports including a significant reduction in changeover time between shows that need rigging and a large increase in safety. They also protect the venues infrastructure from being overloaded due to inexperienced crews.
Fanzones & hospitality.
Vibrant fanzones and premium hospitality spaces elevate spectator engagement and improve the overall experience. These enhancements extend dwell time, increase per-capita spend and build lasting fan loyalty.
Modular stadia & venues.
For sports clubs looking to increase their existing capacity, through to promoters looking to create temporary entertainment environments, Star Live offers rapidly-deployed and scalable solutions for any requirement. Our integrated solution can include seating and grandstands, staging, hospitality and VIP suites, alongside a range of front and back-of-house amenities.
Venue transformation.
From the design and installation of house reduction systems through to centre-hung screens and scoreboards to increase flexibility and sightlines, Star Live is an industry leader in all aspects of refurbishment or legacy transformation of existing entertainment and sporting venues.

Frequently asked questions.
What types of venues do you work with?
We transform both entertainment and sporting venues of all sizes—from theatre spaces to major stadia. Our solutions adapt to arenas, festival sites, sports stadia, and multipurpose venues, enhancing their capabilities for diverse event types.
How can venue transformation increase my revenue potential?
Our venue solutions unlock additional revenue streams by enabling more flexible usage patterns. We create spaces that transition efficiently between different event types, expand capacity when needed, incorporate premium hospitality areas, and develop underutilised spaces into commercial opportunities—all designed to maximise return on your venue investment.
How long does a typical venue transformation project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Minor enhancements like rigging upgrades can be completed in weeks, while comprehensive transformations typically require 3-6 months. Our modular approach allows for phased implementation to minimise disruption to your event calendar. We’ll create a detailed timeline during consultation based on your specific requirements.
Can you work with existing venues or only new developments?
We specialise in transforming existing facilities through targeted enhancements rather than complete rebuilds, offering cost-effective solutions that significantly extend venue capabilities. Our expertise in working within operational venues allows us to implement improvements with minimal disruption to your scheduled events.
What safety and compliance standards do your venue solutions meet?
All our venue developments comply with relevant local and international standards, including building regulations, fire safety requirements, and accessibility guidelines. For sporting venues, we ensure compliance with governing body regulations such as FA ground grading. Every project includes comprehensive documentation and certification.
How do you ensure the venue can function efficiently for different event types?
We analyse operational workflows and implement systems that reduce transition times between configurations. This includes designing flexible infrastructure, optimising backstage areas, creating efficient access systems, and implementing technical solutions that serve multiple purposes. Our focus is creating spaces that can transform quickly with minimal staff resources.
Do you provide ongoing support after the venue development is complete?
Yes, we offer comprehensive post-completion support including operational training, maintenance programs, and technical consultation for future events. Many clients maintain ongoing relationships with Star Live for continuous venue optimisation as their event requirements evolve.
Can your venue solutions incorporate sustainability features?
Absolutely. We integrate sustainable technologies and practices into our venue developments, including energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and designs that reduce operational resource requirements. Our approach focuses on both environmental responsibility and long-term operational cost reduction.
