Today our Henry House creator is doing another talk on the making of our local TV Pilot 🗣️

Oswestry’s own Gareth Owain David Thomas has actually been a guest speaker for local community group, Arts at Oswestry Community Action before 🤔

But his talk went down so well with the group, which aims to positively impact health and wellbeing, that they booked Gareth to come back again straight after! 🙏

We can’t wait to share Gareth’s story on how our high profile care home comedy drama was made possible, right here in Oswestry, with today’s group! 🥳

So December 1st is finally here… 🎄

Which means it’s the start of advent. But it’s also the start of our own Christmas countdown 📅

And we cannot wait to reveal the identity of our incoming Christmas Star… 🌟

It was all smiles yesterday as this lovely lot got to see the film they made 😍

Shropshire Autonomy, an autism support group, hired us to deliver a workshop giving them the chance to make their own short film. But we chose to do it as a “one shot”! 🎥

We filmed it on location at Gibbo’s Bar & Nightclub earlier this year and yesterday at The Hive they were treated to the first ever screening of their one shot short film 🍿

We held a Q & A with the cast & crew and the group got to see a special behind the scenes edit, showing how much work goes into making a film like this possible 🙏

It was such a proud moment to see them experience what their film had become and we’re already excited for our next project with Shropshire Autonomy! 👀

Lovely write up by the Shropshire Star on our recent festive film for charity 🎥

It was a real joy to work with Bitesize Youth Theatre to help raise awareness of the vital work that Blood Bikes offers the nhs.uk 🏍️

But we also enjoyed giving so many up and coming local talents their first taste of life on-set. Bitesize’s young stars really rose to the occasion! 🌟

We had a great time shooting in the studio recently, talking all things Henry House 👀

Cast and crew alike were reunited to relive what life was like on the often surreal set of our care home comedy drama pilot, a year on since we wrapped 🎬

Our producers also sat down to explain the hard work that’s been constantly going on behind the scenes ever since. The work so many don’t see 🙌🏻

We can’t wait to bring this exciting featurette to you soon. (You won’t have to wait as long for this one 😉)

A big thank you to all our contributors 🙏

Joyeux Anniversaire, Zoe, who came all the way from France just to be part of Henry House! 🇫🇷

Zoe, who’s lived in France all her life, was studying film and heard of the industry opportunities happening on the set of our care home comedy drama pilot & wanted IN 🎬

"Working on Henry House was a great opportunity to get some hands on experience and discover what it's like to work on a professional set…”🗣️

“… I learnt so much from everyone and made some great connections too!" recalls Zoe, who experienced everything from helping with lighting to even appearing in a scene! 🎥

But Zoe also showed US how much love and belief there was for Henry House by travelling from a different country just to be part of our Pilot. Happy birthday, Zoe 🥳

From 2016 Youth Theatre ➡️ 2026 Work Experience! ⏳

Last night a regular work experience interview with a local sixth form student took an unexpected twist 👀

As it turns out Luca, from Marches Sixth Form, has actually worked with us before. He was in a youth theatre group we filmed with way back when he was just 6 years old 😱

So when he comes to work with us on placement next summer it’ll be TEN years since the last time. From six to seventeen. He’s changed a bit but what a story! 😍

Excited to enjoy these two working together but can’t wait for the Henry House pilot? 👀

Then it’s your lucky day as you can hear both Kate Coldron and the much missed Simon Fisher-Becker in the season finale of Abnormal Stories, which is out now! 🤩

This episode of the audio drama anthology series also features narration from Colin Spaull, another familiar face from our care home comedy drama 🎬

It was cast by Ask Seek Knock’s Luke Allen, a producer on our feature length pilot, and is made extra special by being dedicated to the loving memory of our beloved Simon 🫶🏻

1️⃣6️⃣ of the best for one of our brightest young stars, as we celebrate her big day 🌟

It’s hard to believe Emily Stephenson is only sixteen - she’s done so much already! From her Holly & Ivy audition to being on set and starring in her first short film 🎥

She’s also helped promote the film in interviews with co-star, Betty Carter and she even got to meet and learn from the film’s Executive Producer & soap star, Paula Lane 🤩

And that’s just what she’s achieved with us but she’s done so much more besides, including her work with the wonderful Bitesize Youth Theatre 🎭

Have the best of days, Emily and thank you for everything you have done as our Ivy Orchard. We cannot wait to get you and Ivy back on set in 2026! 🎬
