Filming and photography at Stowe

An A-lister landscape

For hundreds of years, visitors have been exploring the magic and wonders of Stowe. Over 1,000 acres of landscape gardens and parklands, an eighteenth-century coaching inn and countless statues, monuments and temples give an endless number of filming opportunities. Perhaps you want the romance of the Elysian Fields or the grandeur of the Temple of Concord and Victory, there's likely to be a location at Stowe perfect for you.

From small two person shoots all the way to blockbuster Hollywood hits, we have experience in all sizes of productions. We're flexible in what we can offer with great tailor made packages specific to the production. And of course, any money we make from location fees goes towards our conservation work.

Location scouts

Stowe sits at the very top of Buckinghamshire, right on the county border with Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, and Bedforshire with great motorway and A-road connections. It's only just over an hour from many London studios and under two hours from central London, our location provides an easy solution to make logistic plans run smoothly. The nearest train stations are Bicester North and Milton Keynes.

We welcome appointments for scouts to view the gardens and parkland. Please use the film office contact details below to arrange a booking.
