A Multi-Purpose Venue
Filming & TV
Sitting in a quiet, yet exceptionally convenient location on the beautiful Wormsley estate, our new Studios are ideal for filming with flexible spaces to act as a cast and crew support areas. Two triple height studios measuring 15m x 23m (3,713 sq ft), and a third double-height space at 10m x 16m (1,721 sq ft) have direct loading bay access, cable runs and are acoustically optimised. Each room has natural lighting but can also be fully blacked-out. The larger studios feature viewing galleries and all three studios are pillar-free!
Recordings
The Studios were specifically created with music recordings in mind. They’ve been acoustically optimised, feature raised gallery walkways and benefit from both natural light and the ability to bring technical kit and larger instruments directly into the studio. The Lady Stringer Studio is our recording studio, featuring three layers of soundproofing, improved acoustics, and a choice of control room locations and functionalities. Listen to previous recordings at the Studios to get a sense of the sound and feel of the space.
Rehearsals
Garsington Studios was purpose-built for both stage and music rehearsals. They’ve been acoustically optimised, feature raised gallery walkways and benefit from both natural light and the space to bring in scenery, lighting rigs and other technical kit. Two studios are just over the size of our Opera Pavilion stage, whilst a third features a dance floor and mirror wall for movement rehearsals. Ancillary rooms include coaching, practice, production, company and wardrobe spaces, and a loading bay allows easy deliveries to all three major studios.
