HAVE you ever considered allowing your house, smallholding or your farm to be used as a film location? That's the possibility being offered to local landowners.
Enterprise Works, the training arm of the Country Land and Business Association in the West Midlands, will be holding a seminar on Saturday, January 26, to highlight the business opportunities that exist if you do just that.
Steve Shaw, CLA, Enterprise works co-ordinator said "We are extremely lucky and privileged to be given permission to hold this event at Stokesay Court, which has recently been used as a primary location for the film adaptation of Ian McEwan's Atonement.
"We always try to use venues for Enterprise Works seminars that illustrate best business practice related to the topic; and in this case I think we've struck gold!"
Stokesay Court is a magnificent late-Victorian mansion set within extensive grounds in the rolling South Shropshire countryside. The house, built in 1891 in the Jacobean style, is the rich backdrop for the first half of Atonement', the Joe Wright film based on Ian McEwan's novel, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.
Speakers from the film industry, National Trust and the agents representing Stokesay Court, will illustrate the opportunities and potential of having your property used as a location setting using Stokesay Court as an example.
For further information about the seminar please contact Steve Shaw, CLA, Enterprise works co-ordinator on 01785 284722 or e-mail steve.shaw@cla.org.uk
