Welcome to Sun Pavilion Productions

… a new, innovative, independent production company.

SPP will develop a long-term business with internal management, production and marketing teams and promote its business to commission, workshop and produce a range of projects: 'developing entertainment with integrity'.

Sun Pavilion will expand its internal marketing team and production facilities arm, offering that expertise to other parties on a commercial basis.

Passionate to build a new consumer base by offering a dynamic, energising education and access programme, Sun Pavilion also seeks to attract a modern audience using the latest technology and celebrating the very best of British entertainment.

SPP's management will focus on the long-term growth and expansion of the company, with revenues from its product being reinvested to both increase the visibility of its brand identity and broaden its commerical base.
