Nottingham City Council is proud to support film and television productions of all sizes and welcomes crews looking to shoot in the city.  

In recent years, Nottingham has played host to a variety of productions – from high-end TV dramas such as Without Sin (starring Vicky McClure), Landscapers (featuring Olivia Colman and David Thewlis) and Sherwood (created and written by Nottingham-born James Graham), to iconic blockbusters like Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, where Wollaton Hall doubled as Wayne Manor. 

With its diverse architectural styles and rich historical character, Nottingham offers a unique backdrop that can stand in for a range of locations around the world – all within easy reach.
