FILMING

Why choose Knebworth House?

We pride ourselves on being especially film-friendly and have a great history of working with film and television crews for over 60 years. 

We have been used in a wide range of productions; from major movies to TV films, commercials, music videos and still shoots.

The romantic exterior of Knebworth House with its turrets, domes and gargoyles silhouetted against the sky provides an inspirational setting for filming. Add to that an interior that represents fine examples of different eras, extensive gardens, parkland, woodland, lakes, cottages and farms. Knebworth has a location for your story.

All commercial filming and photography needs to be pre-arranged and is subject to location fees.

Tripods, lighting equipment and drones are not permitted on site without prior arrangement. Wedding photography is exclusive to couples getting married at Knebworth House, Gardens or Barns.

We are more than happy for members of the public to take photographs of the exterior of the House, Park & Gardens. We ask that there is no flash photography within the House, and only camera phones are used within the House.
