Host to many blockbuster movies and one of the largest indoor spaces in Europe, the huge scale of Cardington Studios makes it a top choice for film productions and stadium tour rehearsals. The incredible height of 55m (180ft) floor to top of the roof pitch allows designers to build in a space not restricted in any way. Cardington Studios provides numerous refurbished production offices, H&S office, medic room, refurbished workshops, vast holding areas and catering, along with acres of external parking and backlot.
Studios
Cardington Studios has the available clear space within the main interior measuring 248m (813′) x 55m (180′) in total (146,000sqft). The impressive height is 48m (158′) at the apex and 37m (122′) at the eaves.
The North buttress allow for further workshop space at 14m (46′) wide. The South buttress houses office, catering, warehouse and storage areas.
An extensive load bearing catwalk grid covers 75% of the hangar and allows for set and lighting loads to be rigged, as well as simplifying cable management. The catwalks can be raised, lowered or removed to facilitate different requirements.
Elevated platforms in the North and South buttress allow many technical facilities to be kept off the floor, reducing congestion and trip hazards.
Offices & Workshops
Our production offices have been refurbished to an industrial-style, all with far reaching countryside views and equipped with desks, heating and air conditioning. There are numerous workshops, holding areas and ancillary spaces for use.
Rehearsal Spaces
There are multiple spaces for music rehearsals, accommodating smaller theatre size productions in Stage 5 to full scale stadium rehearsals in Stages 1 and 2.
Stage 5 is also well suited to theatre and film productions as a break-away space from the main floor, for smaller rehearsal needs.
Parking & Backlot
Externally, there is ample space for exterior set build, unit base and parking. Totalling approximately 10 acres.
Three Rubb buildings of approximately 5,000sqft each available to hire on short or long term contracts for set storage.
