Step into Martin Bielspurg’s film venture, where you’re not just an audience but the beating heart of the movie! Join his stretched yet dedicated assistant Phil in one of a diverse range of roles—be it camera whiz, makeup artist, daring stunt double, or star beside the magnetic actor Charles Bexley-Heath. Brace for the drama—this film’s destiny teeters between triumph and disaster. Each performance crafts an entirely unique experience, making every film a distinct adventure into the unpredictable world of cinema. Your involvement sways the tale—it’s not just a show, but your chance to shape a film’s destiny. NB. All props and equipment are bananas.

Summer PlayDay Tips

• Plan your parking in advance.  If able, it is best to park further away and have a short walk to the event.
• In previous years the quietest time is during the afternoon.  We ask all our activities to run until the end time, so there will be plenty to do and enjoy.
• Check out the performance times in advance so you can plan your visit around this.
• The face painters will shut the line, in advance of 3pm, to ensure they finish at 3pm. 
• Make a day of it, bring a picnic or enjoy some food from local retailers.
• Outdoor events can be busy, make sure your child/children are aware of the missing child point in advance so that staff can assist if needed.
• Children are always the responsibility of parents/carers.
• Plan for all weathers, we are in the UK!  Bring sunscreen, hats, an umbrella – best be prepared!
• Make the most of the day by enjoying the activities with your child.
