Photography & Filming

The romantic gardens, loggia and cloister at Iford provide a beautiful backdrop and inspirational setting for filming and photoshoots, from engagement, family or wedding photoshoots to fashion, film & TV.

With the addition of our walled garden, parkland, woodland, river, cottages, ruins and farms, Iford has a location for everyone’s favourite story. We pride ourselves on being especially film friendly, and have a great history of working with film & television crews. We have been used in a wide range of productions – from major movies to TV films, music videos, fashion and stills shoots.

All commercial and professional filming and photography is only permitted when pre-arranged and is subject to location fees. Please email Marianne on info@ifordmanor.co.uk or call 01225 863146 to discuss further.

Note that photography for personal use (excluding stock imagery, or photoshoots with a professional photographer) are most welcome by visitors to the garden. We encourage visitors to share their photos on social media and tag us #ifordmanor.

Tripods, lighting equipment and drones are not permitted in the garden during our standard opening hours.
