Have a large room with aging floorboards?

A friend of mine and I have come up with an idea for a photo I'd love to try and make and I am looking for a suitable location. Basically I need a decent sized room, large enough I can have my camera and lights at one end, a couple of models a few metres in front and few metres of space behind them to allow the light to drop off so I don't get the back wall. The floor need to be ideally aging floorboards, reminiscent of an old stage.

Obvious candidates would be an old stage, obviously, or a scout/function hall but I have access to neither and no budget whatsoever! This is purely for fun. A large room in a home or even an outdoor deck could also work, but decks tend to have excessive space between the boards.

While I'm at it, a red leather footrest, studded if at all possible, would also be helpful as I have yet to track one down either.

Cheers for any tips!

EDIT: I meant to add, as I said I have no budget here so looking for accessible places I haven't thought of or someone generous. Perhaps we can come up with some kind of trade if you have a location, depending on if I can offer you anything you want! I do IT, photos and I'm good for picking up heavy objects and reaching high shelves, at least mum reckons that's the only reason she had me :lol:

Anyway, any and all ideas welcomed and appreciated!
