Stage Fifty’s new film studio site at Farnborough International is now operational. Farnborough Film Studios has two sound stages totalling 44,000 sq ft of production space. It also offers 20,000 sq ft of workshops, 10,000 sq ft of office space, and 50,000 sq ft unit base and parking.
• Two 22,000 sq ft sound stages located at Farnborough International in Hampshire
• Farnborough Film Studios operational now with first productions underway
• First of several studio sites under development by Stage Fifty in the UK
Stage Fifty CEO, James Enright, said: "We’re collaborating with the team at Farnborough International to bring much needed high-quality studio space to the UK.
“We’re delighted that acclaimed independent TV production company Hartswood Films are the first to use our new facility.
“Stage Fifty is pioneering how film studios are developed, supporting the expanding global content market. Farnborough Film Studios is the first phase of our plan, and we'll be making announcements about other studio locations soon."
Director of Operations at Hartswood Films, Debbie Vertue, said: “We’re honoured to be the first productions working in the two brand new stages built by Stage Fifty in Farnborough. We’re now in production on two new dramas – The Devil’s Hour for Amazon Studios and Inside Man for BBC and Netflix.”
Situated south-west of London, just off the M3, the new studio is 35 minutes by train from London Waterloo, 30 minutes from Heathrow, and Farnborough Airport, one of Europe's leading private airports, is right next door.
Designed and engineered to meet the needs of production companies, working with manufacturing partner SPANTECH, Stage Fifty has developed a game-changing solution for the studio space race. The innovative design offers the durability of a permanent stage with the flexibility of a movable structure that can be built anywhere in just four months and can be moved and used again and again. Benefits of the reusable modular system include sustainability, speed of construction and total flexibility of location.
To address the shortage of sound stages and production facilities available for film and TV, Stage Fifty is developing several UK film studio sites that will create around 300,000 sq ft of high-quality space within the next 18 months.
With standard sizes ranging from 9,400 to 32,000 sq ft and a floor to grid height of 10 to 15 metres, Stage Fifty sound stages offer the versatility to create and relocate production spaces, whenever and wherever.
