Borough Attraction Award

Garden of Reason

Filmmaker: Ham Youth Centre

The film was a joint collaboration between the National Trust, Ham Youth Centre and Grey Court School. Young people performed parkour or free running in the grounds of Ham House in Richmond whilst a group of music students from Grey Court composed the sound track taking influences from 17th century chamber music.
All the young people live or go to school near Ham House but few had visited it or made use of its facilities. The film was an ideal way to combine young people’s hobbies with learning about this historical building.
