4 reasons why OUEV venues make ideal film locations

Top filming locations for hire in Oxford…..

Outstanding heritage and architecture

The dreaming spires of Oxford’s famous skyline provide a breath taking backdrop for film location managers. Our venues are perfect for modern and period filming and offer a cocktail of 17th, 19th, 20th and 21st century architecture. We offer grand marble staircases, elaborate fireplaces, oak panelled rooms and large airy spaces. Oxford offers one big film set!

Helpful staff and good onsite support

You’ve got so much to organise so let us minimise your stress levels by providing a friendly and supportive team. Most or our film locations have three power phase. We hire all year round and can be flexible with early starts and late night finishes. Our team have excellent knowledge of the University market so are happy to help recommend other Oxford locations in line with your theme and budget.

Variety and convenience

Easy to get to from London via road and public transport, once you are in Oxford, everything is within easy walking distance. You have quick access to rural locations in the Cotswolds and an experienced and flexible council who can provide film permits and facilitate parking in the city.

Venue space for wardrobe changes and staff feeding

Maybe you’ve found the ideal film space but you now need central venue locations for wardrobe changes and staff feeding. Why not consider the Examination Schools which has 16 rooms and can hold up to 2,000 people? It is also located near Merton Street which is one of the few old cobbled streets in Oxford. Located on Broad Street, right in the heart of the city, the Sheldonian has changing facilities and a large flat floor space ideal for staff feeding of up to several hundred people.

Who we’ve worked with

We’ve enjoyed providing venue space for films such as Transformers, X-men, The Golden Compass, Testament of Youth, as well as TV series such as Morse, Lewis, Endeavour and many others.
