We invite schools and local groups to join us on an Experience Day to take part in free creative and educational activities. Our offer meets multiple aspects of the curriculum and we can tailor the visit for any age group from 11-21 years
Over an academic year our Experience Days will have different themes and content so groups can return more than once.
The Benbow Arts Centre offers school groups a ‘Make the Film in a Day’ workshop. This is an activity which runs for the duration of a school day (9:30 – 3:00) and gives participants the opportunity to explore our exhibition space, work collaboratively to generate ideas for character and plot and develop these ideas into a script. They will then work alongside professional filmmakers, using professional quality equipment, to film their script. The day culminates in a screening of the various films in our cinema space.
Throughout the day, there is a strong emphasis on working positively with peers towards a common goal.
Available dates: Tuesdays during term 6 and Term 1 (September 2024)
