Refurbished Engine Room reopens

Newly refurbished Engine Room reopens in May 2024.

Somerset Film’s base, The Engine Room, serves as a unique community media centre in Bridgwater and stands as the flagship project in the Bridgwater Town Deal’s revitalisation initiative. As the first of eleven transformative projects, The Engine Room’s expansion not only enhances the town centre but also sets a benchmark in sustainable, community-focused design.

Deborah Richardson, Creative Director of Somerset Film, highlights the impact of this design-led transformation: “The expansion of The Engine Room is more than just a structural update; it represents our commitment to fostering artistic collaboration and engaging the local community across all ages and backgrounds. As a non-profit, charity-driven organisation, we leverage the power of film and digital technology to connect and empower communities, supporting sustainable growth and creative engagement.” To read about the Engine Room and Somerset Film please see the link here.
