Carpentry
A fully operational carpentry workshop at the heart of the space. Bars, sets and structures built by skilled makers.
The Hub — Magic Number's production workshop in Bristol
A 32,000 sqft production workshop in Bristol. Design, fabrication, build and delivery under one roof.
The space
Built in Bristol.
In early 2024 we invested heavily in the space, the tools and the people behind immersive, large-scale builds. A full in-house design team works alongside a 32,000 sqft workshop, studio and yard dedicated to making.
CNC machines, a spray booth, upholstery rooms and a fully equipped carpentry shop, with room to store assets and test-build at full scale. From first concept to final piece, one team carries every project through, led by skilled makers and specialists.
Our capabilities
Everything under one roof.
CNC
Precision CNC cutting and machining for repeatable parts, complex shapes and tight tolerances at speed.
Metal
Fabrication and welding for frames, structures and fixings, engineered to survive transport, weather and heavy use.
Painting
With a fully equipped Spray booth and hand finishes, from flat colour to full scenic treatments. Every piece leaves with a durable, event-ready coat.
Scenic
Scenic artistry that makes new builds look real, aged or otherworldly, ready for camera and crowd.
Upholstery
Dedicated upholstery rooms for seating, soft finishes and fabric-wrapped builds, sewn and fitted in house.
Models
Scale models and prototypes that prove an idea before full production, or become the finished piece themselves.
Design
In-house designers turn concepts into production drawings and engineered solutions before anything reaches the workshop floor.

From drawing to delivery.
Visual & Technical Design
At The Hub, technical design is where ideas are pressure-tested and made build-ready. Our in-house team translates creative concepts and visuals into full production drawings, structural plans, and engineered solutions. From material selection and structural integrity to transport logistics and on-site installation requirements, every detail is considered upfront. This ensures that what is imagined can be delivered efficiently, safely, and at scale — removing risk, reducing revisions, and giving clients complete confidence before a single element goes into production.
Build Production
Our build production capability sits at the core of The Hub. Operating from our 32,000 sqft facility in Bristol, we deliver high-quality fabrication across large-scale event builds, brand activations, and bespoke assets. Equipped with CNC machinery, dedicated workshop zones, and specialist production teams, we control the entire process in-house, from prototyping through to full-scale manufacture. This allows us to maintain speed, consistency, and cost efficiency, while adapting quickly to changing briefs or timelines.
Final Product
Every project delivered through The Hub is finished with the end environment in mind. Assets leave our facility fully tested, quality-checked, and ready for seamless installation across the UK and Europe. We build with durability, transport, and operational use at the forefront, ensuring builds perform as intended across festivals, retail environments, and high-footfall public spaces. Combined with our logistics, install, and on-site delivery teams, the final product is not just well made — it is deployment-ready, compliant, and built to withstand the realities of live environments.
Delivery & Build
Delivery and build is where planning meets execution, and where The Hub’s full capability comes together. Our teams manage the end-to-end process of transporting, installing, and activating assets across complex live environments, from city centre locations to large-scale festivals and multi-site rollouts. With dedicated logistics planning, experienced crew, and on-site production management, we ensure every build is delivered safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Sustainability
Powered from the roof
In 2025 we fitted the workshop roof with solar panels, so a growing share of the power behind every cut, weld and coat of paint now comes from directly above it.
75% of assets created across the year are carbon neutral, and we design for reuse, repair and storage rather than single use wherever a brief allows.

How it works
Four steps, one team.
- 01
Enquiry
Tell us what you are trying to make. We scope feasibility, budget and timeline from the very first conversation.
- 02
Design
Concepts become production drawings, material choices and engineered solutions, signed off before the build starts.
- 03
Build
Skilled makers deliver the fabrication on the workshop floor, with test builds for anything complex or large-scale.
- 04
Deliver
We transport, install and stand everything up on site, on schedule and ready for use.
Who's behind it
A team of ten makers, based at the space full time. Carpenters, metalworkers, scenic artists, painters, CNC operators and production managers, with more than 100 combined years on the tools between them. No names on the door, just people who build things properly.
Get in touch
Whether you have a full brief, a rough sketch or just an idea that needs a bigger space, we would love to hear about it. Every project starts with a conversation.
