film and television

Cumbria is fortunate to possess a variety of exceptional landscapes that are ideal locations for film and TV productions.

Environment:

The Lake District's outstanding scenery includes tranquil lakes, rugged mountains, open fells, gushing waterfalls, rippling rivers and leafy woodlands. Our west-facing coastline enjoys spectacular sunsets and offers a variety of habitats including sandy beaches, dunes, mudflats and impressive sandstone cliffs.

Historic settings:

Close at hand are reminders of our rich history - Hadrian's Wall, Norman castles, medieval guildhalls, Elizabethan houses and some fine examples of Georgian

and Victorian architecture. The compact city of Carlisle lends itself to reduced shooting costs, and offers an attractive urban environment of medieval and Georgian buildings, an impressive cathedral set in a pleasant precinct, a spacious pedestrianised city centre and even an original courtroom with cells.

Other benefits:

The region is easily accessed by both road and rail, with plenty of high quality accommodation on offer. We have an excellent relationship with 'Vision and Media' based in the Northwest, along with an extensive media contact list. Together with our thorough local knowledge of the area, we can help you achieve your goals on time and on budget.

Our credits include:

• Advertising includes Waitrose, Virgin Trains, Homebase, the AA, Territorial Army and the University of Cumbria.
• Television includes: Flog It, Bargain Hunt, Location Location Location, Question Time, Dickinson's Real Deal, Antiques Roadshow, Countryfile, Coronation Street, The One Show and The Lakes.
• Films include: Withnail & I, Miss Potter, Oliver Twist and the soon-to-be-released Bollywood comedy ‘Mr Bhatti on Chutti'.
