Chaise Lounge

I don't know if they're using it at the moment JG but I know Stirling Players have a red velvet lounge (we used it for Eros and Psyche a couple of years ago)

I just thought that might be a lead to chase up if nothing else comes up :)

Sorry I can't offer any of the other things yet (I'll have a look at the second list when it comes up :D)
