Discover the people, places and creative activities that make Fordingbridge special in a vibrant new three-minute short film. Co-created with the local community, the film premieres f on YouTube on Thursday 12 November at 6.30pm.
From choirs raising their voices to wild swimmers taking a dip in the River Avon, Fordingbridge’s creative community is ready for its screen debut!
Join us online on Thursday 12 November at 6.30pm for the YouTube premiere of a brand-new short film celebrating the people, places and creative activities that bring Fordingbridge to life.
At just over three minutes long, the film takes viewers on a playful journey through the town, showcasing an incredible variety of local talent, groups and familiar faces.
From music, dance and theatre to art, crafts, storytelling and swimming beneath the town’s iconic Great Bridge, it’s a celebration of the creativity happening right on our doorstep – and an invitation to get involved.
Co-produced by Culture in Common with film makers, Breaking Barriers, the film has been co-created with Fordingbridge Arts Network (FAN) and people from across the community.
Over two days of filming in October, people from community groups, local organisations and businesses came together to share what makes their town special.
The result is a joyful celebration of Fordingbridge and the connections, friendships and opportunities that creativity brings.

Fordingbridge has always been a hotbed of creative and cultural talent, but it is only since our Arts Network was recently formed that the separate groups are coming together to help share and promote this rich resource for the town. It was fascinating going through the creative process of film making and I am so grateful to FAN membership organisations who rallied scores of participants from the town. Our community is so blessed with talent that we couldn’t quite fit everyone into the shooting sequence however the promotion will benefit all our members represented on the FAN website. I for one will never grow tired of the film which is to be part of the trailer sequence of the local Regal cinema for the foreseeable future. Our thanks go to Culture in Common and the friendly film crew from Breaking Barriers.
