We’re proud to support film and TV productions across Herefordshire and are committed to making filming in the county as straightforward and affordable as possible. With permit fees starting from just £45 + VAT, competitive location fees based on crew size and filming duration, no fees for student productions, and a 50% discount for registered charities, we aim to make Herefordshire an attractive place to film. Additional charges may apply for specific requirements such as drone permissions or site visits, and applications submitted with less than 72 hours' notice will be subject to double administration fees. Whatever the size of your production, our team is on hand to provide guidance and support throughout the process.
