A Film Maker’s Dream

The Berkeley and Spetchley Estates are a film maker’s dream, offering a huge diversity of authentic locations for television drama, documentaries and feature films. They are blessed with an enormous range of settings and moods from Medieval to modern and everything in between!

They have been the setting for the BBC’s drama ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ produced by the BAFTA-winning Ruth Caleb, ITV’s ‘Dead Famous’ and its family history series ‘Historyonics’, HTV’s historic cookery series, National Geographic's film on King Arthur and the BBC’s daytime ‘Bargain Hunt’.

The Berkeley family occupies both Berkeley Castle and Spetchley Park and Gardens which are just 50 miles apart. The Estate team are renowned for its flexible, film-friendly approach to ‘resident’ crews!

 


"Fantastically accessible yet so quiet and unspoilt and the family were very accommodating. Everything ran smoothly, and the design team made nine sets out of just four wonderful rooms! Berkeley Castle is truly a hidden gem and a dream location."

Micas Koc - Associate Producer
The Other Boleyn Girl (BBC)
