Ted Lasso Filmed at Hospice, Boosting Revenue
31 Aug
Summary
- Thames Hospice's wing became a Ted Lasso filming set.
- Hiring the space provides vital revenue for the hospice.
- Stars signed an elephant sculpture for charity auction.
An unused wing at Thames Hospice in Maidenhead served as a filming location for the Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso. The Otter Wing was temporarily transformed by the show's cast and crew last September, offering a significant boost to the hospice's finances. Hiring out the space is a crucial revenue stream, helping to meet the daily operational cost of £44,000.
The hospice reported a positive experience, with the production team being humble and professional. While the wing was unrecognizable during filming due to set dressing, the hospice plans to repurpose it for clinical use later this year.
During the production, stars like Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham signed an elephant sculpture in AFC Richmond's colors. This signed artwork will be part of an auction in October to support the hospice's 'Trunks Across the Thames' appeal.
