The Filming in England Partnership connects different organisations across England, outside of London, in order to create a film-friendly environment and unlock England’s full potential as a world-class destination for film and TV production.
Creative England launched the Filming in England Partnership in October 2020. Created with our Film Offices partners as founding members, the Partnership connects organisations ranging from local authorities, locations, facilities and studios to national organisations to help create a film-friendly environment for Film and TV productions.
Through this diverse Partnership network, we aim to support and promote our members to maximise opportunities, building long-term beneficial relationships between industry and member organisations through signposting and connecting industry to the relevant contacts.

Regional Filming Hubs
Creative England’s Filming in England Team launched its Regional Filming Hubs in November 2022, as an important next step of the Filming in England Partnership. All Four Regional Filming Hubs – East & South-East Hub, South-West Hub, Midlands Hub and North Hub, are comprised of uniquely skilled members to bring their knowledge, experience and vision to strengthen England’s film-friendly production environment to maximise the creation of world-class film and HETV across the nation.
The Hubs act as eyes on the ground for Creative England’s Filming in England team and provide real time data and key insights about critical crew needs, location and production issues, studio availability and opportunity for sector growth, this intel will provide support both on a regional as well as a national level to steer Creative England’s development of support and policy recommendations, feeding into the nationwide work with our delivery partners to effect positive change and ensure England remains competitive and film-friendly. The intel gathered by the initial meetings identified priorities to which the Creative England Filming in England team created an Action Plan Report in response to these priorities.

The encouragement we received from Creative England to include and open these often brutal, raw, municipal locations to filmmakers and location scouts has established Salford as a film friendly city both in the UK and internationally. I would like to thank Creative England for the journey they have taken us on.
