Have you ever fancied pulling a pint at the Queen Vic or stepping inside the Star Wars universe?
Well, at a brand-new immersive museum that’s set to open next year, you’ll be able to do exactly that. Set to open next year in Borehamwood down the road from Elstree Studios is a museum, but not in the traditional sense.
It was approved by the council in November 2025 and will honour 100 years of film and television production in Hertsmere.
The new experience is set to open in December 2026 on a vacant former Sky Studios space in Panattoni Park.
Just down the road, Elstree Studios has been used to film shows like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter and BBC soap opera, EastEnders.
The local council said: “This isn’t just about looking back, it’s about creating an experience that can bring any story to life.
“From walking through the sets of EastEnders to standing in the middle of a historic scene like the Great Fire of London, or even taking part in the launch of a major new movie filmed right here in Borehamwood, the immersive experience will combine cutting-edge technology with creative storytelling.”
In December 2025, Hertsmere Council approved a £2 million contribution towards the project.
Currently, the only other permanent tour experience is the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter, which is just a 20-minute drive from Elstree Studios.
