In short: Granary Digital is a film and photo studio about 45 minutes south of Guildford, down the A3 near Chichester: infinity cove, green screen, rain rig and podcast suite, plus done-for-you content days from £2,950+VAT. White Space hire from £295+VAT a half day.
The wealthy county with a studio-shaped gap
Surrey is dense with exactly the businesses that need a steady content supply: professional firms, premium brands, agencies and founders. When they need a real stage rather than a meeting room with a backdrop, the reflex is London, with London day rates, London parking and the M25 in both directions.
There is a better direction. South. Forty-five minutes down the A3 from Guildford is a 16th-century barn with a full-size infinity cove, a green screen with autocue, a podcast suite and an events room, at regional rates with parking outside the door.
Surrey brands that want the outcome rather than the room book a content day: our videographers, photographers and social media managers plan, shoot and edit a batch of content in one visit. One brief, one day, one invoice.

How it works
1. Brief call
Twenty minutes on what you do, who you want to reach and what the content is for. Free, and useful even if you never book.
2. The plan
We map a shot list and a running order to your calendar, so the day is booked against real posts and real campaigns.
3. The day
You and your people come to the barn. We direct, film and photograph the lot. Most clients say it is the easiest shoot they have done.
4. Edit & deliver
Cut, graded, captioned and sized per platform, delivered through a shared gallery ready to publish.

Every price on the rate card is a regional rate, not a London one.
South beats north, on maths alone
From Guildford, central London and this barn are comparable drives. One direction ends in congestion charging, hired parking and city rates. The other ends at a door you park beside, a regional rate card and the same grid, cove and crew capability. For Godalming, Farnham and Haslemere the sums tilt further south still.
The done-for-you route is the Content Studio; the room-only route is the rate card.

Questions we get asked
How far is the studio from Guildford?
About 45 minutes down the A3 and A286, to Adsdean near Chichester. Godalming, Farnham and Haslemere are all closer.
Why not just go into London?
From most of Surrey the drive time is similar and everything else is worse: rates, parking, load-in. Here the van parks at the door and the rate card is regional.
Do Surrey businesses use the content-day model?
Yes, it is the most common booking from Surrey: a planned day where our team shoots and edits a quarter's content, from £2,950+VAT, rather than a dry room hire.
Can you record a podcast the same day?
Yes. The podcast suite is on the same site with an engineer on every session, so a content day can bank episodes alongside the film and photography.
