Great Arch Hall
South Wing

In light of the current situation, and following the advice from Government, we have made the decision to close our public exhibitions and events until at least 01 June. Anyone who has booked a ticket for an affected event will receive a full refund as soon as possible.

We’re working hard with all our artistic collaborators and producing partners to be able to share our cultural programme in other ways during this period.

Creative Job Studio: ENTERPRICE will bring young creatives together with established TV industry professionals to share work and ideas. 

The Creative Job Studio is partnering with Fudge Park to bring you an Enterprice networking TV special.

During our event, we'll be showing the brilliant first episode of Season 2 as well as some behind-the-scenes footage from cast and crew. The screening will start promptly so please arrive as close to 17.00 as possible. 

Come and meet the people who make the show happen, hear how they started out in their industry and chat to them directly to help you on your own creative routes in TV and beyond.

BBC Three's hit sitcom 'Enterprice' is set and filmed a mere 10-minute bus ride away from Somerset House, across Waterloo Bridge and in amongst the tower blocks, parks, and quickly gentrifying spaces of Elephant and Castle. Written by and starring Kayode Ewumi (who created the online (and meme-heavy) smash 'Hood Documentary'), the show follows Kazim and Jeremiah, two young entrepreneurs hustling to make their door-to-door delivery business a success.

Using that premise as a jumping off point, Enterprice explores what it means to be young, ambitious and living on the fringes of an extraordinary city. The show touches on contemporary political touchstones such as race and multiculturalism, and depicts Elephant and Castle as a joyous, colourful place where anything can happen, in a deliberately marked contrast to recent TV and film portrayals.

The first series can still be viewed on iPlayer.

This attracted BBC Three, who commissioned Kayode and his friends to create six five minute #HoodDocumentary shorts, broadcast online in June 2016. Since then Kayode has been busy, creating and writing his own series Enterprice. Enterprice was originally commissioned as a BBC Slice in 2017 and was then commissioned into a full series. Kayode is just about to release Enterprice 2 and is developing many more projects. Kayode's acting credits include Are You Being Served? White Gold, Crackanory, Action Team and Stath Lets Flats.
