Do I need permission to film in the East Riding?

Yes, if filming is taking place on council land or property.

All requests need to go through the marketing team who will arrange the correct permissions and advise on the procedure. The marketing team will also advise if possible the ownership of land or property if it is not known.

In order to carry out filming the marketing team require:

  • a completed and signed location agreement (supplied by East Riding of Yorkshire Council) two weeks before filming commences.
  • a completed risk assessment
  • a Certificate of Public liability insurance to the value of £10 million.

Contact the council's marketing team for more information.


Will there be charges for filming in the East Riding?

Charges may apply depending on the film location, duration and services provided by the council.  

Each request will be dealt separately. Contact the council for more information.
