TV, FILM & PHOTOSHOOTS

With its dramatic architecture, atmospheric ruins and spectacular setting overlooking the North Wales coast, Gwrych Castle provides an extraordinary location for filming, photography and creative productions.

Set within a historic estate in Abergele, the castle offers an exceptional variety of backdrops in one location — from imposing castellated ruins and towers to historic courtyards, woodland, gardens and sweeping views across the Irish Sea.

Gwrych has attracted television, film, commercial and editorial productions over many years and has also provided a backdrop for international fashion and luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton and Vogue.

A unique North Wales location

Gwrych Castle can provide locations for:

  • Television and feature film productions

  • Documentaries

  • Commercials and advertising

  • Fashion and editorial shoots

  • Product and brand photography

  • Music videos

  • Promotional filming

  • Historical and period productions

  • Private and commercial photography

As a substantially ruinous Grade I listed castle undergoing a major programme of conservation and restoration, Gwrych offers an atmosphere and scale that is difficult to recreate elsewhere.

Our team can discuss location requirements, access, available areas, production logistics and opportunities for filming across the estate.
