Pudding Bag Productions

A multi-award winning community heritage group

We are a small community heritage group based in North West Leicestershire.  We love to involve local people in making historical drama films and bringing history to life. Get in touch if you fancy getting involved!


News 2025 - 

QUICK FLICKS  Our annual film night will be on Thursday 8th May at Ashby School Theatre, Nottingham Road.  Free entry and parking.  Doors open 6.50, films from 7.20.  Let us take you back to the 17th-century with this year's new films.  A short modern day comedy will also be shown, bound to send you away laughing.


We are currently working on a joint project with Chorus Theatre.    Sunshine Girls  is about a group of ordinary women and their lives during the Second World War.  It will be a combination of live performance and film and is part of Ashby Arts Festival.  It will be at the Venture Theatre on three nights 29th-31st May. Tickets £8. Booking information coming soon.


The Turning Point  is a drama film about an unsolved murder in Blackfordby in 1901.  We will be making this film in the summer and it will be shown in Quick Flicks 2026.
