Bringing Community to Life on Film: How Big Egg Films Helped Markland Hill Racquets Club Share Its Story

At the heart of Bolton, Markland Hill Racquets Club has long stood as a beacon of community spirit, active living, and family-friendly values. With a mission to offer affordable, inclusive racket sports and social opportunities for all—from curious four-year-olds to seasoned players in their 80s—the club knew it had a story worth telling. What they needed was a partner who could help them capture the essence of what makes Markland Hill special.

Enter Big Egg Films.

A Shared Vision

From the start, the collaboration between Markland Hill Racquets Club and Big Egg Films was more than just about creating a promotional video—it was about telling a heartfelt story of community. The club isn’t just a place to play tennis or squash; it’s a place where friendships are formed, where families bond, and where everyone, regardless of background or skill level, is welcome.

Big Egg Films immediately understood this. With a genuine passion for storytelling and meticulous attention to detail, they set out to create a film that would reflect the soul of Markland Hill—its people, its values, and its unique culture.

Capturing Community in Motion

The resulting film is a vibrant, sincere snapshot of life at Markland Hill. Through interviews and candid footage, viewers are taken on a journey through the club’s facilities and ethos.

Graham reminds us that the club exists “for the people of Bolton and beyond.” It’s not just a sports venue—it’s a community hub where members can relax, catch up with friends, and feel truly at home.

Phillipa Coach and Manager, at Markland Hill,  highlights the incredible variety of sports and activities on offer—tennis, squash, badminton, pickleball, table tennis—as well as a calendar full of social events. It’s a place where there's truly something for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

And at the heart of it all, Speaker 1 reiterates the club’s core values: family, friendship, and an unmistakably warm, inclusive atmosphere.

A Beautifully Crafted Result

Vice Chairman of the club, Graham Holt, had this to say about the experience:

“Big Egg Films are amazing. The attention to detail is incredible but most of all, they care deeply about their work. The result is a beautifully crafted production.”

It’s this blend of professionalism and heartfelt care that made Big Egg Films the perfect choice for Markland Hill. The video they produced doesn’t just showcase facilities—it captures the spirit of a community built on trust, inclusivity, and the joy of shared activity.

More Than a Club

Markland Hill Racquets Club is more than courts and games. It’s a living, breathing space where individuals grow, families connect, and a sense of belonging thrives. Thanks to Big Egg Films, that story can now be shared far and wide, inspiring more people to discover the value of community through sport.
