Scenic and Festival Backdrops That Transform Events This Summer

Summer is here, and the UK festival and event season is in full swing — from sun-soaked music fields to immersive indoor expos. One element that’s making a massive impact at every level of production? Digitally printed scenic and festival backdrops.

Whether you’re producing a music festival, hosting a corporate summit, or setting the stage for immersive theatre, scenic backdrops provide an instant, high-impact way to bring your venue to life.

At Project Print Management (PPM), we specialise in printing custom large-format backdrops that are quick to install, weather-resistant, and visually spectacular. Let’s explore how your next event can benefit.

  • Music festivals & outdoor stages

  • Corporate events & summits

  • TV, film & immersive theatre

  • Street scenes & pop-up sets

  • VIP zones & chill-out areas

  • Photo walls & brand activations

“It’s not just background—it’s part of the experience.”

🌦️ Built for Outdoor Events

Summer festivals mean unpredictable weather. That’s why our backdrops are printed on robust, event-ready materials, including:

Ideal for stages and windy locations – lets air flow through while keeping bold, visible graphics.

✔️ Black-Backed Block-Out Fabric

Stops light bleed from behind (great with stage lighting), with deep colour tones.

✔️ Foldable Display Fabrics

Soft, crease-resistant, and easy to store and reuse.

✔️ PVC and Vinyl

Durable and easy to clean – perfect for hard signage and food zones.

All materials are flame retardant and fully customisable.

🏙️ Real Project Highlight: Indoor Street Scene

In one of our recent projects, we produced a British high street backdrop for a major indoor corporate event. We printed full-height buildings, storefront signage, and even a red London bus — all on lightweight fabric, installed in under a day.

“We transformed an empty venue into a full-scale set, without a single hammer or nail.”

This is the power of scenic printing: instant transformation, minimal logistics.
