Bristol launches new film studio

An old wine and bottling plant in Bristol has been transformed into a film studio. The Bottle Yard is situated near the city centre and offers 300,000 square feet of production facilities.

Colin Brown, the UK Film Council’s British Film Commissioner, said: “In such a climate, space on the sheer scale of The Bottle Yard with its proximity to London and good accessibility, is incredibly valuable and in real demand. This new facility represents a significant addition to what the UK can offer international producers.”

Bristol City Council and South West Regional Development Agency are supporting the studio as a partnership initiative, while it will be managed by South West Screen.
