Great to have supported so many of these productions from our Bristol office at The Bottle Yard Studios!
Filming in England
The Production Guild of Great Britain
Location Safety Ltd is based in Museum Place, Cardiff and the bottle yard studios, Bristol.
Our annual figures released today, show that the economic impact of filming on location in Bristol and at The Bottle Yard Studios rose by 55% last year to an estimated £46.6 million 📈✨
29 major film and High-End TV productions were assisted by Bristol Film Office and The Bottle Yard Studios throughout the 2024-25 financial year 🎬
It was also a year that saw more of Bristol's best-loved visitor destinations - like registered charities Underfall Yard and St Werburghs City Farm - directly benefit from income brought in by filming, after being connected to production teams by Bristol Film Office👏👏
Our Head of Film Laura Aviles says: “A 55% increase in just one year is outstanding. Not only are we seeing the number of productions opting to film in Bristol remain strong, we’re also seeing the size and length of those shoots increase. Thanks to the outstanding service from The Bottle Yard team and the gold standard of logistical liaison provided by the Film Office on location, productions are spending more time prepping and filming bigger, more ambitious shoots here. This is leading to more employment for regional freelancers and companies, and more local spend in the economy.
“It’s so rewarding to also see more of Bristol’s charities and community groups benefit from valuable new income streams by hiring their unique spaces out as locations, which we hope will in turn lead to further screen tourism benefits in future. With new releases like Young Sherlock, The Seven Dials Mystery, The Dream Lands, Inheritance and The Forsytes on the horizon – as well as others still under wraps – it’s clear that our studio, locations, crew and companies are keeping Bristol at the top of its game, as one of the most successful regional cities for scripted filming in the UK today.”
