A summary

*DROP OFF SESSIONS* Only children/young people require tickets and parent/carers are not required to stay at these sessions or book a ticket. MK Film Club has been awarded grant funding from Milton Keynes City Council to deliver sessions for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme, for children in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals (FSM), during the Summer school holidays. Our events blend creative, physical, and social activities to ensure every child feels engaged, supported, and inspired. Across the programme, children will collaborate to storyboard, script, and produce 3–4 short films, exploring a range of genres and ideas. Each session will focus on a different aspect of filmmaking—from camera work and directing to acting, costume design, prop-making, and makeup. Using professional tools including a Canon R50 camera, gimbal, clapperboard, and green screen, participants gain real hands-on experience in every stage of the process. To support wellbeing and movement, sessions begin with drama-based games that build confidence, spark creativity, and get everyone moving. Nutritious hot meals and fruit-based snacks are also provided, with clear messaging around healthy eating. Our sessions are inclusive and child-centred, offering a calm, nurturing space with quiet crafting and games available for children who need time out. With years of experience running after-school clubs, in-school activities, and holiday programmes—including HAF and Short Breaks for Milton Keynes City Council—we have a proven track record of engaging children in creative film projects across various settings. Past projects have included original stories as well as recreations of favourites like Minecraft, Ghostbusters, Britain’s Got Talent, Jumanji, and Harry Potter. This programme builds not only practical filmmaking skills, but also confidence, literacy, teamwork, and creativity—offering a truly enriching experience for every child. Please ensure your child is available to take part in the full activity. All participants will receive a downloadable copy of the film(s) they helped to create. Sessions will take place at Derwent Drive Youth Centre, Bletchley, MK3 7BE

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
