About the Summer Sessions
We are excited to announce the return of our popular Access NFTS Summer Sessions for 2026!
These FREE hands on sessions are open to young people aged 11–16 and will run throughout August at our Beaconsfield campus. Each week, participants can choose from at least four different 2 hour workshops, each exploring a unique career pathway in the Film, TV and Games industries.
Set the Scene: Movie Production Design
Ever wondered how a blank room becomes a spaceship, a haunted house, or a wizard’s dungeon? That is the magic of Production Design. In this hands-on workshop, you will step into the shoes of a Hollywood Set Designer to build your own miniature movie world from scratch.
Stage 1: Blueprints & Mood Boards
Map it out: Sketch a quick floor plan of your dream movie set.
Vibe check: Cut up magazines to create a mood board that captures the exact look and atmosphere of your scene.
Stage 2: The White Card Build
Go 3D: Turn your flat drawings into a physical miniature model using cardstock, scissors, and glue.
Test the angles: See exactly how cameras and actors would fit inside your newly built world.
Stage 3: Raiding the Prop Store
The ultimate vault: Gain exclusive access to our real-life Prop Store.
Curate the look: Work with our Props Manager to hunt down and style the perfect items to bring your final design to life.
No design experience needed. Just bring your big ideas.
