We also offer packages that include a filmmaking experience for those interested. Our programme 'Script to Screen' is a full day of real filmmaking with London Film School tutors. Write, shoot and edit a short film, then premiere it on the big screen with drinks.

Script to Screen is a full day of genuine filmmaking, hosted inside London Film School's working studios in Covent Garden.

Your group is split into small production crews and taken through the real process: writing a short script, shooting it with professional camera and lighting kit, and editing it into a finished film, guided throughout by working LFS tutors. This is not a staged photo opportunity, it is filmmaking at an actual film school.

The day includes refreshments and a working lunch, and builds towards a premiere: your finished films are screened on the big screen in our cinema, followed by a closing drink in our newly refurbished bar.

A genuinely collaborative, hands on Christmas offsite for teams who want something with more substance than a party, and something to show for it afterwards.

Runs 10:00 to 16:00. Minimum 8 guests, maximum 32.


Event offers and packages

Christmas Party Offers

Story Sprint - Christmas Party for Teams
£150 per person

An evening of fast, phone-shot filmmaking with London Film School tutors. Real technique, no kit to fumble with, cut live and watched back at the bar.

Story Sprint is your Christmas party with a plot twist. Small teams get a genre, a prop and a location, and race to shoot something ridiculous, on their phones, coached the whole way through by working London Film School tutors.

No cameras to learn, no kit to slow you down. Just real filmmaking craft, framing, performance, pace, applied to the device already in everyone's pocket. While you're at the bar, our editors are cutting the footage live. By the end of the night, every team's film is ready to screen, and the whole room watches the results together, big screen, drinks in hand.

It's part filmmaking masterclass, part party game, part gentle roast of your colleagues, all hosted inside a real working film school in the heart of Covent Garden.

Runs 18:00 to 21:00. Minimum 12 guests, maximum 24.

We had a great time hosting a book tour event in the cinema! The space was comfortable and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. We held a ticketed event with 100 guests and the space worked very well.
