And if you're ok with them moving things around, you can simply request upfront that they ensure everything is moved back to it's original place so it's no extra work for you!

5. Be part of the magic

Whether it's a Hollywood film being shot in the English countryside, a glamorous fashion shoot for a Prada commercial, a Netflix series, an influencer shoot for TikTok, an indie movie, or a student film festival film, there are so many exciting types of shoots happening across the UK every week... and your venue can play an integral role in all of this. Hosting shoots can lead to some great dinner party conversations!
