We’re proud to share that Elstree Film Studios played a key role in supporting the production of Hamnet, which will be released in November. External sets, including The Globe Theatre and Shakespeare’s house, were constructed and filmed on our backlot, while ancillary space was used for props, wardrobe, construction and production space.

As Hamnet prepares to celebrate its premiere, we’re excited to see the finished work come to life and to have contributed to bringing this remarkable story to the big screen.
