Starcloth, pipe & base, wedding, conference & stage draping across Loughborough & the surrounding Leicestershire.
Transforming venues across Loughborough.
Drape FX brings professional event draping to Loughborough & the surrounding Leicestershire. With over thirty years of experience across weddings, corporate events, conferences & exhibitions, we transform venues throughout Loughborough & nearby Leicester, Shepshed & Quorn. From our base in Hinckley we reach Loughborough easily via the M1, A6 & A512, arriving with everything needed to transform a venue — LED starcloth, pipe & base, wool serge, voile & staging.
We regularly work at venues in & around Loughborough, from Loughborough University's campus venues, the Great Central Railway, Prestwold Hall & Burleigh Court. Whether you are dressing a hotel ballroom near the town centre, a marquee on the outskirts, an exhibition hall or a stage, our free-standing systems install without any fixing to the building — ideal for hotels, listed buildings & hired spaces alike.
We know Loughborough well — from landmarks like Loughborough University & its sporting heritage, the Great Central Railway & Charnwood Forest to its business parks, wedding venues & conference spaces. The city's student events — balls, graduations & open days at Loughborough University — are a regular fixture in our calendar too. Good transport links, including Loughborough railway station & East Midlands Airport, make Loughborough straightforward for our teams to reach at any hour.
