Mid-Sussex, meet your studio

The Gatwick corridor is full of head offices, agencies and growing brands, and short of proper stages. Ours is just over an hour away: an infinity cove, green screen, rain rig and podcast suite in a 16th-century barn near Chichester.

In short: Granary Digital is a film, photo and podcast studio serving Horsham, Crawley and the Gatwick corridor, 65 to 80 minutes away near Chichester: infinity cove, green screen, rain rig and podcast suite, with dry hire from £295+VAT a half day and content days from £2,950+VAT.

Business density, studio scarcity

The corridor from Horsham up to Gatwick and Crawley is one of the busiest business belts in the South East: head offices, logistics, aviation, agencies and thousands of growing companies, all publishing content from meeting rooms and phone tripods, because the area has plenty of offices and almost no stages.

The nearest full-capability studio is closer than London in every way that costs money. Down the A24 or A272 to Adsdean near Chichester: a drive-in infinity cove, a pre-lit green screen with autocue, a soundproof podcast suite and a rain rig, with fifteen parking spaces and regional rates.

Corporate teams book the green screen for training and comms, marketing teams take a quarterly content day, and the podcast suite gives mid-Sussex businesses a produced show without a London session fee.

Head-office content, and people flying in

The Gatwick corridor is full of head offices, and head offices generate a particular kind of work: leadership film, internal comms, training modules, recruitment video and the annual set of talking heads that has to look the same as last year's. All of it wants a controlled room rather than a corner of the atrium.

The airport adds a second pattern. Teams flying talent or executives in are roughly 80 minutes from arrivals to the studio floor, which makes a land-drive-shoot-fly day genuinely possible rather than theoretical.

Getting here from Horsham

The A24 or the A272, then the A27 west, just over an hour door to door. Fifteen parking spaces, ground-level load-in and no city-centre restrictions at this end. Once here it is a drive-in infinity cove, a green screen with autocue, a soundproof podcast studio and an events room, with crew booked through the studio if you need them. Prices are on the rate card.

By road, off-peak: just over an hour from Horsham and 80 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

An hour that buys a different class of kit

From Horsham the run is the A272 or A24 then the A27, an hour or so door to door and against the traffic. What it buys is the difference between a backdrop in a meeting room and a lit stage with a grid, a cove and an engineer. Gatwick-based teams flying talent in are 80 minutes from arrivals to the studio floor.

Questions we get asked

How far is the studio from Horsham?

Just over an hour by road, down the A24 or A272 and along the A27 to Adsdean, near Chichester.

We are near Gatwick. Does that work?

Yes. From the airport it is roughly 80 minutes, which teams flying talent or executives in use to their advantage: land, drive, shoot, fly out.

What do corporate teams book?

The green screen with autocue for training and internal comms, the cove for brand and product work, and the podcast suite for produced shows. Many roll all three into one content day from £2,950+VAT.

Is there a closer podcast studio?

There are voice booths closer. A multi-camera, engineer-run suite with an editing team behind it is what the hour buys, and packages start at £108/hour+VAT.
