Laura was the heart of our little business - her creativity, kindness, and passion for musical theatre shone through in everything she did. She poured her heart into every costume, and her beautiful designs have brought joy to so many performers and audiences across the country and beyond.

Whilst we are heartbroken by her loss, we want to reassure everyone that Leo's Theatrical Costumiers will continue to run as normal. We'll keep sharing Laura's wonderful creations with the world, just as she would have wanted. Her sparkle will continue to shine on stages big and small.

Thank you to everyone for your love, support, and understanding during this very difficult time. It means the world to us.

With love,
Holly, Louise, Amy and Graham
Leo's Theatrical Costumiers

Week #2 in our new home on Hortonwood!  The costumes are settling in nicely to their new surroundings. 

A big thank you to all the family that have helped with the move over the past fortnight - nearly there now.

“You’re moving again?” I hear you ask…

As you may remember (or may not have even realised) we moved very early in the pandemic into the premises of the Leo family ice cream business. This wasn’t ideal, however while we waited for 18 months for our world to re-start it kept all our costumes safe and, for the last 21 months, we’ve been doing what we love again, as well as celebrating our 8th birthday earlier this year!

It’s though all our hard work and love of our craft that we are moving again to a purpose built unit just down the M54 to Telford on
​August 1st 2023.

The same level of service and the attention to detail remains the same, we will just have a brand new postcode.

Keep your eyes on our socials over the coming weeks for some behind the scenes photos of our big move and we look forward to continuing supplying all of your amazing productions from our new home.

Love,
Laura and the Leo’s team x
