The complex will include production workshops, office space, a vendor village for supply chain businesses, administrative and social facilities, a multi-storey car park, and an extensive backlot.
Designed to attract high-end productions from around the world and increase the UK’s share of this growing global market. Supported by the UK Government, the project will be delivered in phases, starting with site preparation and enabling works in February 2025.
With strong backing from both public and private sectors, Crown Works Studios is poised to meet the growing demand for studio space in the UK. Drawing on regional growth in the screen industries, catalysed by North East Screen, this development offers amazing opportunities for those in the film and TV production market.
