Film Location

Bekonscot has played host to many crews of TV, film and photography over the years.  We are an excellent location for children's TV, live outside broadcasts, or advertising filming.  Our animated miniature landscape, model houses, trains, boats, cars and fields provide great opportunities for close-up and background shots.

We have helped crews for:

  • Blue Peter
  • Treasure Hunt
  • BBC 10 o'clock News
  • McDonald's
  • Sky News 
  • Working Lunch
  • National Film School
  • Discovery Health Channel
  • Discovery Home and Leisure
  • London Tonight
  • London Today
  • One Foot in the Past
  • Dad
  • Muffin the Mule
  • BBC Radio
  • British Satellite News

We have also provided locations for many corporate and consumer photo shoots. We are open to requests for filming and photography at Bekonscot. If you would like details, please contact us.
