About Classic Canvas

From the early days, when marquees were supplied for the film Yanks in 1978, an impressive list of satisfied clients has been built up, including the BBC, Central, Granada and Yorkshire television.

The commitment to our customers remains as important today, as in that very first job, and we like to pride ourselves particularly on:

• The authenticity and attention give to the smallest of details, for example the correct use of any ropes/poles/finials/props for the period (assisted by reference to an extensive archive collection)
• Our ability to co-ordinate and fit in with any filming schedule and deadlines
• The high regard we hold for providing a reliable, professional and yet friendly and approachable service
