The Arts Award, managed by Trinity College and supported by the Arts Council, creates a framework for learning and sharing new skills. It inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents in a way that is creative, valuable and accessible. -This week long film workshop from Monday 27 July to Friday 31 July, 9.00am - 5.00pm, will be a great opportunity for your child to meet other enthusiastic movie-makers and learn some valuable skills from experts in the field.
Your child (age 11-16) will join a group of young aspiring film-makers in the unique surroundings of Strawberry Hill House, one of England’s most elegant and eccentric Gothic castles. Your child learn the key skills of film-making alongside knowledgeable professionals and use those valuable skills to create a short film of their own. The gothic atmosphere of Strawberry Hill will serve as artistic inspiration for the short mystery film they will create. From script-writing to acting, art direction to costumes, directing to camerawork, it will be an experience not to miss!
You will also get to enjoy your child's hard work. At the end of this week long camp, Strawberry Hill will hold a premiere of the finished film in front of family and friends so you will be able to see the results of your child's work on the big screen.

Strawberry Hill Summer Concert Series
Our summer concert series will conclude with a performance by prize-winning harpsichordist, Yeo Yat-Soon. Music for a Gothic Villa will be performed in Horace Walpole's beautiful Gallery on Thursday 23 July 2015, 7.30pm.
Join us for an evening of of gothic inspired music as Yeo Yat-Soon returns to Strawberry Hill with a fascinating programme specially devised for Walpole's villa. It comprises music by Walpole's contemporary Londoners, composers he may have encountered on his 'grand tour' of Europe in the 1740s and music in the spirit of 18th century Gothic which Walpole did do much to pioneer.
Prior to enjoying this performance amidst Strawberry Hill's wonderfully gothic atmosphere, there is an opportunity to enjoy a pre-concert meal in the delightful surroundings of the Cloister Coffee House.
Booking is required via our website. Please note out concerts are very popular so it's unlikely we will be able to take any bookings on the day.
