A majestic Warwickshire stately home venue for location filming
Ragley offers all the benefits and character of a British country estate and stately home, and as a choice for a filming location can offer a wide choice of settings. The Hall, designed by Robert Hooke in 1680, sits at the centre of an estate spanning approximately 5,600 acres of parkland, farm, woodland, farmland, a lake and working stable yard.
This 17th century stately home venue features a breathtaking grand ballroom with 40ft floor-to-ceiling windows, in a baroque and rococo design, which has previously been used as the Palace of Versailles. There are a range of other rooms including sitting rooms, a large library, music rooms, breakfast suites and bedrooms all perfectly suited to period location filming. Each room varies in style, with an over-arching design decorated by James Gibbs and added to by John Wyatt in the late 1700s.
From the rich red fabrics and ornate golds of the Red Saloon, to the bright yellow regency dining room, each room offers a diverse and unique setting, ready to be adapted to your creative vision.
The wider estate offers further opportunities for filming in unique locations – whether for large-scale outdoor scenes, or more specific requirements such as the gardens, woodlands, lake, stables, cricket pitch, farm or one of our heritage holiday cottages.
Ragley has been the set for large-scale film and tv productions including Dr Who, The Crown, Dancing on the Edge, Prize Fighter, The Scarlet Pimpernel, BBC Countryfile, Flog It! and many others.
