2022 Project

Have you ever wanted to meet your favourite superhero or movie star? Perhaps travel back in time to experience life as a Knight of the Round Table? Fancy a trip to the moon? Interview Mona Lisa? Well, here is your chance. Using green screen technology we will have an opportunity to do all of these things and more. The best thing is – no Covid Cert is required. The only limitation is our imagination.
