Location managers and location scouts.  Are you looking for the right location and setting for the production you are working on? Are you searching for the most suitable place or location to shoot in a Film Friendly area?  Here in Calderdale, our Council’s events and film office understands the filming industry and is always quick to act. We issue filming permits and arrange location agreements and traffic orders in a timely fashion to meet your filming schedule, including those last-minute changes.  At Film Calderdale, we may just have the package and the locations for that next call sheet to bring the script and screenplay to life!

Word is out, ask your colleagues, our reputation at Film Calderdale is paramount and we strive to ensure that everyone’s experience on a film shoot is the best it can be.

Calderdale sits proudly in the UK’s largest county of Yorkshire, the southernmost part of the Yorkshire Dales.  We are an area of river valleys, moorland and hill country, and few places can offer Calderdale’s blend of beauty and history in such a compact part of a region.  Calderdale is much more than history, great views and a BIG Yorkshire Welcome.
