About this Event
CANDE STUDIOS OPEN HOUSE
Your production. Our space.
Calling all photographers, filmmakers, production companies and freelance creatives in Leicestershire and the midlands!
We're opening the doors to Cande Studios for an evening of live demonstrations, studio tours, drinks and a chance to connect with fellow creatives from across the Midlands.
Whether you're a photographer looking for your next shoot location, a production company in need of a fully equipped filming space, or a freelancer looking to discover new facilities, we'd love to show you around.
Based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, Cande Studios is a professional production space available for independent hire. Bring your own crew, clients and equipment, or make use of our extensive range of lighting, grip and production kit.
It's your production. We're here to provide the space to make it happen.
