Benbow Arts Space is a dynamic creative learning hub located in the historical building of the former Admiral Benbow pub, a site with a rich heritage in St Leonards-on-Sea. This venue is dedicated to the art of filmmaking, offering young people aged 11 and above the opportunity to explore and develop their passion for film. The space provides a range of activities including school and group visits, weekly evening clubs, intensive holiday courses, and support for creative careers.
The venue features an Early Cinema exhibition, workshop areas, and spaces for events, focusing on both the educational and practical aspects of filmmaking. Benbow Arts Space also hosts occasional public events and workshops, making it a vibrant centre for aspiring filmmakers to learn, create, and grow in their craft. The transformation from a historic pub into a modern arts space underlines its unique character and commitment to nurturing new talent in the film industry.
