Plans revealed for High Wycombe film studios

Located just off the M40, studio operator Stage Fifty has revealed plans for an eight-stage facility to be built on a 26-acre site near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

Following on from a number of other high-profile film studio and production facility projects that have gained planning over the last 18 months, the High Wycombe scheme will create 750 full-time jobs and a further 450 in the supply chain.

This will be Stage Fifty’s third UK site and a company spokesperson said: “We’ve achieved great success with our other film studios in Farnborough and Winnersh, and we’re looking to continue this success in High Wycombe.

“Stage Fifty creates sustainable studios, and together with our partners, we’ve developed new technologies and innovative ways to build greener and more quickly that our competitors.”

It is claimed that the new studios will strengthen the UK’s global position as a leading centre of film and high-end TV production.
