The Silwood video group is a constituted group Spectacle started in 2001. Since its inception, this extraordinary and unique group has had approximately 200 people through its doors from the ages of 6 to 70. Over the years an unusually diverse range of people in terms of age, race and religious background from the Silwood Estate and neighbouring areas have worked together on a wide range of video projects responding to the regeneration of the neighbourhood.
