Filming in the Lancaster District
Lancaster District is becoming widely recognised as an excellent location for film and television productions. We have a wealth and variety of urban and rural landscapes along with many unique individual buildings and settings that it can meet many film and television requirements.
Lancaster City Council works with the region’s film commission, North West Vision and Media, principally through its Lancashire Film Office and is very happy to assist film-makers interested in filming a production within the district.
The Council can help film makers with all sorts of requests including providing advice on suitable locations, assist with parking requirements and will sometimes offer to attend a site visit with the film maker, discussing any objectives or problems that may arise.
The North West Vision and Media website also has useful information including
- Information on filming locations
- Possible grant information
- Crew and Facilities contact database
- Downloadable Forms inc. Filming Enquiry Forms and new location registration forms
