Giggster launches in the United Kingdom

Good news - we've crossed the pond! Giggster has now officially launched in the United Kingdom, with over 1000 UK filming locations and growing every day.

From stylish studios to quintessentially English cottages, to abandoned warehouses to botanical gardens, to grand palatial halls (and everything inbetween), Giggster already has a massive range of unique locations to choose from across the country.

Demand for unique film locations in the UK is increasing as productions are ramping back up after the 2020 slump. Although total spend on film and high-end TV production in the UK fell by 21% year-on-year down to £2.84bn, according to the British Film Institute, production is growing faster than ever to keep up with demand.

“Production recovery in the UK is well underway and demand for content is not only still there but in fact greater than ever before,” said Adrian Wootton, chief executive of the British Film Commission, the industry body supporting UK film and TV production.

The UK is currently home to multiple Hollywood productions including films such as Mission: Impossible 7, Indiana Jones 5 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and TV productions including Amazon’s The Witcher, The Essex Serpent, Dungeons & Dragons and Star Wars: Andor. Netflix and Disney, two major users of British film infrastructure, have both struck long-term deals to make productions at two cornerstone UK film studios, Netflix at Shepperton and Disney at Pinewood, both near London.
