What Bazaar does

Bazaar Studio is a female-led creative design and scenic fabrication agency founded in 2016 by Anna Prenelle and headquartered at Unit 19 Silver Court Industrial Estate in Leeds, UK. The company delivers bespoke end-to-end event production services — including Set Design & Build, Brand Activations, Festival & Event Styling, Event Decor, and Prop Making — from initial concept and 3D design through in-house fabrication, scenic painting, prop making, and on-site installation. Its underlying capability is a physical workshop and skilled craft team (carpenters, scenic painters, prop makers, CAD-trained designers) rather than a software or technology platform; the firm carries out structural calculations and produces RAMS/health-and-safety documentation for installation work.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model, engaging directly with global brands, marketing agencies, and event organisers on bespoke briefs with per-engagement quotes. Its core customer segments are multinational brands (Spotify, Budweiser, Nike, Adidas, BBC, Johnnie Walker, ESPA, The Ordinary, Yorkshire Tea, WhatsApp/Mercedes, Heineken), marketing and events agencies (e.g. We Are Kaleida, Verve Live Agency, Ghostwriter Events), and event organisers/venues (e.g. Leeds University Ball). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by case-study-driven content marketing, organic social, SEO, and agency referrals. Bazaar is privately held and founder-controlled, with no external institutional investment or M&A activity disclosed, and operates across the UK, Europe, and worldwide for event delivery.

Direct peers

• Hidden (Hidden Live): UK experiential agency producing brand activations, immersive events, and set fabrication for major brands. Comparable to Bazaar in delivering full-service creative design, build, and installation across event and festival contexts.
• Verve The Live Agency: Irish/UK live event and experiential agency delivering brand activations, pop-ups, and festival experiences. Comparable to Bazaar as an existing partner (Verve designs client briefs that Bazaar fabricates) and as a fellow mid-sized experiential specialist.
• Freeform: UK-based creative fabrication and event design agency producing bespoke brand activations, set builds, and experiential installations for global brands. Closely comparable end-to-end design-and-build model targeting the same enterprise client base in London and major UK cities.
• Cardboard Citizens / Sandbox Studios: UK scenic fabrication and event production studio building bespoke sets, props, and brand activations. Directly comparable in the in-house fabrication, scenic painting, and prop-making capabilities Bazaar offers.
• Radicle (Tin Man Group): UK creative production agency building brand experiences, scenic sets, and fabrication work for global brands. Comparable scope of services (design, fabrication, install) and similar enterprise client focus, with overlapping project types.

Regional players

• Setworks / Stage Cargo: UK set construction and scenic fabrication specialists serving commercial productions, TV, and events. Comparable capability set in scenic build and prop fabrication, with a narrower commercial-production focus versus Bazaar's event-led mix.

Broad incumbents

• MKG (MKG Events): Experiential marketing agency producing brand experiences and events for global brands. Comparable client roster and brand activation focus, but materially larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Bazaar.
• George P. Johnson (GPJ): Large global experiential marketing agency producing brand experiences, trade shows, and live events worldwide. Overlaps with Bazaar's brand activation and event production services, but operates as a multi-region incumbent rather than a boutique fabricator.
• Jack Morton Worldwide: Global experiential brand experience agency delivering brand activations, events, and content at scale. Comparable because they serve the same global brand client base with event production and brand experience work, but at a much larger scale and broader portfolio than Bazaar.
• Sparks: Global experiential agency producing brand experiences, exhibits, and events. Comparable because they target enterprise brands with activation and event production services, though as a broader portfolio player rather than a specialist fabricator.
