Norfolk County Council are joining with the LEP and district authorities to fund primary research into the current state of the Norfolk film sector.  We recognise that in the UK the film and television production industry supports more than 180,000 jobs and contributes more than £12 billion to the economy annually.  Spend on film and high end television production in 2019 reached £3.6 billion.  Norfolk’s local authorities and the New Anglia Enterprise Partnership are keen to learn from the sector itself how we might better support an increase in film and associated activity within Norfolk, with all the economic benefits such activity would bring.  We salute Norfolk Screen and our wider Norfolk film sector for the work they are doing to encourage this sector’s growth.

There is a variety of film-friendly locations managed by Norwich City Council, including historic, commercial and residential properties, parks and open spaces. For more information about filming guidelines for Norwich click here.
