A mobile event available at locations throughout the UK

Key Information

  • Fabulous team event lasting approx 2½ - 3 hours or more
  • Suits groups of 20 participants upwards
  • Teams have to create a news brief using fun materials and props

Live from Broadcasting House, each team will man the news desk for the day, proving once and for all that you should not believe everything that you see in the media!

Given just the location, the headline and essential props, teams exercise their creativity whilst attempting to produce a riveting piece of journalistic licence that will hold their audience spellbound.

As stories are gathered from around the globe, the studio anchorman links each item, enabling the entire programme to be broadcast with ‘seamless precision’ at the conclusion of the event.

Each team will write, produce and film a mix of studio or location stories – complete with the inevitable 'word from our sponsors' during the commercial break!
