Making films in Hampshire has recently got easier thanks to our ‘Filming Guidelines’ which serve as a check list for all parties wishing to film on location and to ensure that all areas of consideration and safety are a priority. If there are aspects that are not covered or if there is doubt of any sort, this should be discussed with Hampshire County Council’s Economic Development Office or the relevant District Authority Film Liaison Officer prior to any filming.
The guidelines offer advice on everything from filming with animals to arranging wet-downs when making your production in Hampshire. A full copy of the guidelines are available on our website or can be requested by e-mailing info@filmhampshire.org.uk
