Filming | Norfolk Screen

Norfolk is a filmmaker’s dream, where cinematic history meets endless potential. From sweeping coastlines and vast beaches to the renowned Norfolk Broads (National Park), medieval market towns, stately homes, and countless period settings beneath its famous big skies.

But it’s not just about looks: Norfolk has earned its stripes on screen.

From the timeless charm of Dad’s Army to the grandeur of Shakespeare in Love, the fantasy of Stardust and Jack the Giant Slayer and the blockbuster energy of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Wicked, the region has hosted productions of every scale. Critically acclaimed features like Spencer, 45 Years, Yesterday, The Souvenir, and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande have also found emotional resonance in Norfolk’s landscapes.

Add to that a film-friendly infrastructure, supportive local councils, and a passionate screen office, and you’ve got a location that doesn’t just accommodate productions—it elevates them. Norfolk isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a character.
