“Complete shows. Completely simple.”
Your production deserves the very best when it comes to costumes, and luckily for you, you need look no further.
With over 35,000 costumes and 3500 pairs of shoes, boots, accessories (& even weapons!), we’re sure to have what you need, and we proudly remain the only costumier that includes free footwear with any hired costumes that require them.
Thespis Costumiers is an award-winning family-run business nestled in the quiet heartland of East Anglia, whose costumes have been involved in numerous award-winning productions across the length and breadth of Europe; from National theatres up in Iceland across to Tallinn and all the way down to Malta, 5-star Edinburgh Fringe shows and 5-star Mayfair Hotels, The Royal Windsor Pageant, & countless regional theatres, schools and colleges of all shapes and sizes across the UK.
We proudly offer 5-star customer service as standard with our 5-star costumes, & we costume international shows within Europe & EEA countries as standard, so there really is nowhere else to look.
We have no published price list as our shows are tailored to each individual collaboration. But don’t let that put you off, our professional service team always aims to accommodate.
