Our latest and maybe greatest at @weoutherefest , this bowl stage has been a huge labour of love, pushing Japanese aesthetics with a lot of inspiration from the beloved windows at @fold.ldn . Working seamlessly with lighting was key on this one, and @djrontrent closing it off was truly the special icing on the cake. Proud of the @fables_creative crew as always 🙏

Well I could not be any more gassed if I tried. From concept to creation, a sci fi nerds dream come to life. Probably a career highlight here, and this is just the exterior.. This ridiculous set would not be possible without the amazing crew we have at @fables_creative . I’m just one cog of the amazing machine we have built over the last 10 years and I’m bursting at the seams with pride right now. Proper photos to follow but im too excited to sit on this ⚡️

As the dust settles on 10 years of GALA we felt it right to show a bit of appreciation for the team behind it. Jonny and Giles came to us 7 years ago when we weren’t long out of university, still living in Birmingham and running giant but scrappy student parties out of Boxxed in Digbeth. Right off the bat they gave us a level of trust to design the stages that no other promoter had ever considered. The key difference we feel is that we had the same eye for design, we were into the same parties, and we both agreed on what a dancefloor really needed. 7 years later their trust has allowed us to showcase our design ethics to a point where it’s been instrumental in the rise of our production company and its move to London. Special mentions of course go to Laura who has been instrumental to piecing the festival together over the last 3 years. What the entire Gala team has created over the last 10 years is in our opinion an entire shift in what one should expect from a London Festival, the bar has been raised and we are so proud to have played a role in that process. Roll on the future ⚡️ @jonnyassembled @gilesnap1er @lazzahem

2025… you were LOUD A little throwback to a year full of mad ideas, late nights, heavy bass, bigger builds and even better people. Huge love to @thisisgala @dc10ibizaofficial @boomtownfairofficial @weoutherefest @dclx_lighting @visual.forms @fullyvisualised our partners, collaborators, clients, crew, DJs, builders, thinkers, doers, problem-solvers and last-minute saviours, none of this happens without you. Special shoutout to the legends behind the lens who make it all look way cooler than it felt at 4am:
@triangleimages @vassilis_sk @mvdpstudios 
You lot really said “trust the vision” and delivered every time. To our clients: thank you for letting us push, play, experiment and occasionally say “what if we just…”. We don’t take that trust lightly Here’s to more chaos, more craft, more stories, more Fables.
Same energy, new chapters loading… 🖤 Fables Creative Tunes by our all rounder wizard @saul_mathieson 🙏 #experientialdesign #stagedesign #fablescreative

REACTOR. BOOMTOWN 2025 Even now we are still discovering amazing photos taken by the @redbulluk bull crew of our stage at @boomtownfairofficial This dystopian facility was nestled at the edge of the festival. Once you entered through the main bunker blast doors you were met with a clean cut lab facility, aged and distressed by time but still very much functional. The dj booth itself was the reactor and as the name would suggest, reacted to the music. Epic scenes, just look at that backdrop, Boomtown is something else Set Design and Production @fables_creative Lighting and Effects @fullyvisualised Sound and Event Control @creationgroupuk

Current work in progress

The Carhartt WIP stage at @weoutherefest . Designed by @counterfeitstudio and fabricated in-house at @fables_creative this slick space was created out of stripped back materials such as CNC perforated aluminium and galvanised steel. Beautiful cabinetry and furniture by @lycan_design pulled this all together. The end result was a clean cut and highly polished event space that came alive in the evenings. Brilliant minimalist design by the counterfeit team, and a solid graft by the fables crew on the build. We loved working on this ⚡️ @carharttwip_uk @counterfeitstudio @lycan_design

Now the dust has began to settle on another incredible WeOutHere we can give you a behind the scenes look at the production of REACTOR, our immersive production just one weekend before at @boomtownfairofficial Nailing the lighting and visual effects was essential to create a realistic effect on our post apocalyptic build and to do this we worked closely with @fullyvisualised to create high end immersive smoke, lighting and screen effects. Obviously we had to do a boxing walk out of the smoke filled bunker doors. This has been a staggering dual build, with 2 huge fables teams at both locations (we out here and boomtown) simultaneously. We are knackered but on an absolute high! All future typography was custom designed by @_mantis.s Sound and event control by @creationgroupuk Set design and production by @fables_creative Pictures by @triangleimages

The wonders of the creative brief for this year’s @weoutherefest At this edition of we out here we sought to elevate the traditional use of mural artists on site, creating a free standing gallery space that could fully showcase the artwork whilst acting as an interactive social spaces. Immensely proud of all the artists involved. A further 4 artworks were later added to the roster which we will share at a later date. This was a special place 🙌 Curated by @fables_creative
