Filming

With our historic building and beautiful gardens, it’s no surprise that Ordsall Hall has appeared on screen for a range of television programmes.

The hall has featured in everything from dramas to documentaries, we’ve even hosted Most Haunted!

Ordsall Hall has also acted as a backdrop in numerous photography shoots from fashion to weddings and educational to historical shoots.  With a variety of impressive backdrops both internally and externally it’s the perfect choice whatever your photography focus is.

We receive many requests for filming from production companies and look at each of these on a case-by-case basis. Film crews and photographers must have Public Liability Insurance, and we require a minimum of 28 days’ notice to organise location shoots.

As a Grade 1 listed building we have a number of conditions for filming on site including copy of PLI certificate (minimum £5m), full list of equipment coming on site, number of crew/staff attending the shoot, signed copy of conditions and site rule.

Pricing starts from £3000 for full day hire Friday/Saturday, and from £6000 full day through the week if venue closure is required.

We want to encourage and support student filming where possible and we allow students to film at the hall on Fridays by arrangement dependent on the nature of the request. Requests must be received in writing and will be considered on a case-by-case basis and availability.

Student filming must be organised in advance and a booking form completed. There is a hire fee of £250 for half day 9:30 – 12:30 on a Friday.

If you’re interested in booking the hall for either as a location for filming or for a photography shoot and would like to come for a show round, please get in touch and make an enquiry by emailing us at ordsall.hall@scll.co.uk.
