Filming in the Stroud District

Filming in the Stroud district

From Cotswold hills and historic market towns to industrial heritage sites, canals, woodlands and real communities, Stroud district offers a diverse range of locations for film, television, commercial and photographic productions.

As a proud member of Creative England's Film Friendly Partnership, Stroud District Council welcomes productions of all sizes and is committed to supporting filming activity across the district.

We work with partners to help productions identify locations, navigate permissions and connect with local businesses, services and communities. Our aim is to make filming in the Stroud district as straightforward and successful as possible.
