Screen Staffordshire: August Highlights & Autumn Preview
August was another action-packed month for Screen Staffordshire, following a record-breaking July. With 17 direct production enquiries, five location recces from major broadcasters and streamers, and 12 new sites added to our Locations Database, the county’s screen potential continues to shine.
The trailer for Murder Before Evensong was released in August – the upcoming Channel 5 drama adapted from the Reverend Richard Coles’ bestselling novel. Filmed partly in Staffordshire, it marks one of our first on-camera collaborations – an exciting milestone for the team.
Our outreach continued across the county, with visits to Beaconside in Stafford, The Palace at Lichfield Cathedral School, Trentham Gardens and Stoke City College. We also met with South Staffordshire Council to explore even more future collaboration following their attendance at our July Local Authority workshops.
Looking ahead, join Film Office Manager Jonny Shelton at Keele University’s Connects Network event on 25th September to explore how local businesses can engage with film and TV production – register here to attend!
Planning is also underway for FOCUS 2025, in partnership with Access Bookings, and we’re gearing up for more scouting, meetings, and industry events!
