Southern Ropes supplies specialist rope and rigging for film, TV, theatre, and live entertainment. Whether you are sourcing stage rigging rope for a theatre production, aerial rope for performers, or movie ropes for a film set, we help you specify the right product for the application, with technical documentation and certification provided where required.
Production environments leave no room for error. Incorrectly specified theatre ropes and poorly documented stage rigging put performers and props at risk and leave productions exposed to compliance failures.
Our certifications and industry partnerships provide assurance that every rope we supply meets the quality, load, and safety standards required for professional use in film, theatre, and live entertainment.
We assess the load, working environment and operational requirements before recommending a rope. You get a product matched to the task, whether it is for set building, theatre rigging, aerial performance, stunt work or live entertainment.
We supply the relevant product information, technical data and traceability for your rope. Where the application requires a certified rope, we help specify a suitable product and provide the appropriate certification.
From aerial rope and corde lisse for circus and live entertainment to high-load movie ropes for film and stunt work, we help manage the rope specification and supply process. One contact, one source and clear documentation for the system supplied.
We understand the pressures that come with film, theatre, and live entertainment. When a performer depends on aerial rope at height, or scenery drops from a ceiling-mounted rig mid-show, there is no margin for an undersized rope or a missing load certificate. We work with you to specify the correct rope for every application, supply it fully certified, and make sure it is ready when the show begins.
Speak to Southern Ropes before you spec. We will make sure it is right.
Share the application, load requirements, and working environment. We ask the right questions so nothing is left to assumption before anything is ordered.
Our team helps specify the correct rope for your application, matched to the required load rating and working environment. We provide the relevant technical documentation, traceability and certification where required, so your rope is supplied with the information needed to support safe, appropriate use in real working conditions.
Your rope arrives ready for use, matched to the load and the application. No delays, no uncertainty about the specification when it matters most.
Every production brings different demands. We start by understanding your specific requirements, then draw from our full range of rope and rigging products to build the right solution.

Working with a specialist means:
At Southern Ropes, we provide both the product and the technical support that keeps your production on schedule and your performers working safely.
Southern Ropes supplies rope and rigging to production companies, theatre crews, live entertainment riggers, aerial performance companies, and film and TV stunt teams across the UK and internationally.
Our rope and rigging systems are trusted by production teams who need equipment they can rely on, every time.
“Very good quality and value for money compared to others on the market.”
“Excellent. Items purchased are made up quickly and have been shipped fast too.”
“Excellent quality products, everyone is very friendly and helpful”
As a UK rope supplier, we are accessible and responsive wherever your production is based. Whether you contact us by phone or online, you will speak to someone who knows the product and can help you get the specification right.
Getting rope specification wrong in a production environment is not just an inconvenience. When performers work at height, when props and scenery hangs from ceiling-mounted rigging on cue, or when stunt rigging carries a load under camera, the rope has to be correct.
Southern Ropes supplies specialist rope and rigging for the entertainment industry. From theatrical rope and stage rigging rope to aerial rope, corde lisse, and movie ropes, we match every product to the application, test it to the load, and deliver it fully certified. We stock a comprehensive range and can source specialist products where the job demands it, whether the rigging runs from the ceiling down or is built up from ground level.
You do not need to manage multiple suppliers or chase documentation. We handle specification, supply, certification, and traceability as a single accountable partner. When the rope is right, you can focus on the production.
