Adelaide Festival Centre’s Scenery Workshop is recognised all over the world as the leading theatre construction facility in the southern hemisphere, handling 65% of all work in Australia.

The Scenery Workshop is recognised for creating flexible and adaptable sets, props, and displays. Its unique skills and expertise is also sought after for trade exhibitions and interactive displays. The workshop is also highly regarded as touring and freight management specialists for national and international events.

There's a long and very substantial tradition of building sets here in Adelaide – and I think they're very good at it! Award-winning Australian set & costume designer, Catherine Martin
