North East Locations is built on industry experience, local knowledge and strong relationships across the region.
We work with film, television, commercial and photography productions, connecting them with the right locations, people and organisations. From city streets and industrial spaces to coastline, countryside, historic buildings and private homes, the North East offers an exceptional range of filming opportunities.
Because we work within the industry, we understand what productions need. We help with scouting, access, permissions, logistics and local contacts, making filming in the region as straightforward and well supported as possible.
We also work with property owners and organisations to bring new locations into the industry and create opportunities for local people and businesses.
