Alnwick Castle and its surrounding parkland offer a beautiful and unspoilt setting for filmmakers. Most famously in recent years, the Castle has featured as 'Hogwarts' in the first 2 Harry Potter movies.
The Castle itself is an ideal historical film location. Its medieval exterior and surrounding landscape offer authentic backdrops requiring little or no dressing. Our Guest Hall can be used for studio sets and there is ample space within the Castle Grounds for unit vehicles and facilities.
In Hulne Park, which adjoins the Castle, we can offer 3000 acres of outstanding natural beauty, all totally enclosed by a 9 mile long wall, providing security and privacy. There is a wealth of potential location sites within the Park. These include the remains of a 13th century Carmelite priory, Hulne Abbey, regarded as the best preserved in the country; the remains of Alnwick Abbey with excellent level surrounding areas and mature parkland features; unspoilt parkland vistas of the Capability Brown period; a wide range of riverside features; and general moor, crag, and woodland.
Looking more widely, Northumberland Estates own and manage 120,000 acres and we can offer many varied additional locations, including the Cheviot Hills and sections of fine coastline and sandy beaches.
We have over 40 years of experience providing a very wide range of locations, including Alnwick Castle, for both cinema and television. Our staff team understands the needs and requirements of film crews on location works and offers a service, including assistance in the construction of film sets, that bears comparison with any in the UK.
Alnwick Castle is situated 33 miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and 80 miles south of Edinburgh both with international airports. A range of accommodation is available in the town of Alnwick and the surrounding area.
We will be delighted to help with any questions you may have.
